Doctor Who/Star Trek Crossover is coming in May

Two of Sci-Fi classics are crossing paths. The Doctor and the crew of the Enterprise are coming together in a new comic book.

Here's more:

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION/DOCTOR WHO: ASSIMILATION2 will feature fan-favorite villains the Borg and the Cybermen as they create an unholy alliance resulting in potential disaster for all humanity. Captain Jean-Luc Picard and the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise find themselves joining forces with the Doctor and his companions, with the fate of the galaxy hanging in the balance.


"We are excited about this new adventure for the Doctor and the fact that he will be traveling with Captain Jean-Luc Picard and his iconic crew. This is a perfect partnership for not only Doctor Who’s incredible fans, but also for the brand. 

This should be fun.

Interesting Quote: Zachary Quinto

Oh ... I don't know the answer to that question. Not just for the sake of having one. But if there's a way to incorporate that aspect of our social structure in a creatively integrous way, then I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it. But I'm not a big fan of doing anything just for the sake of doing it, so I think there'd have to be a real undercurrent of purpose if that was the case, and I mean creatively, not just politically.

Interesting Quote: J.J. Abrams

It’s interesting because we’ve actually given so much thought to some of the more broad strokes, little like story structure issues that are for me the defining issues to how the movie gets made and whether or not I’m directing it and all that kind of stuff.
There are many people who say there have been gay characters in the show all throughout. [laughs] I would say that it is, you know, something that I would love to do, but just the way I would be careful doing a story that would involve any of the characters and their personal lives. The balance is always, what how does that story relate to sort of the bad guy, which by the way is always going to be that critical thing, what are they up against? The question how do you get into literally these are personal sexual lives of these characters? Like what is that going to be about. I don’t know who’s assuming characters aren’t gay or are gay. You know what I’m saying? 

J.J. talks about gay characters in Star Trek

Star Trek Producer talks about the Lack of Gay Characters

Star Trek Producer Brannon Braga told AfterElton that he regrets not having a single gay character on the entire ST run.

Here is a piece of that convo:

AE: I'm very much a fan of Star Trek but unfortunately none of the series ever included a gay character. You were involved with writing two of the movies and produced or executive produced for The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise. Can you speak to why that never happened?
BB: It was a shame for a lot of us that ... I’m talking about the Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and there was a constant back and forth about well how do we portray the spectrum of sexuality. There were people who felt very strongly that we should be showing casually, you know, just two guys together in the background in Ten Forward. At the time the decision was made not to do that and I think those same people would make a different decision now because I think, you know, that was 1989, well yeah about 89, 90, 91. I have no doubt that those same creative players wouldn’t feel so hesitant to have, you know, have been squeamish about a decision like that. 

AE: Why do you think science fiction, given that it’s so much forward looking, has done so poorly when it comes to being inclusive on American television?
BB: You know what’s funny is it was dealt with more metaphorically. Next Generation did a couple episodes you could say ... I worked on one for Deep Space Nine with Dax. I don’t know if I can speak to the whole genre of science fiction, certainly the Star Trek franchise as it existed at the time. 

AE: Do you think 20 years ago there was a reluctance to do it because science fiction, wrongly or rightly, is perceived as being for young straight males? Were you guys concerned about that?
BB: I think it was, not so much a young man’s [issue], it was a syndicated family show, showing at six o’clock, you know, in Salt Lake City, so you had to deal with each separate affiliate rather than one network. And things like that.
It was not a forward thinking decision. Knowing the players involved, knowing the decision makers, knowing it was that they felt reluctant about, you know, we’re not saying “yes,” we’re not saying “no,” we’re not just not going to touch that right now. 

Maybe more shows will follow through, or follow Torchwood.

Is there a Klingon Christmas Carol? Yes, there is!

My Partner's Fun Weekend

My partner and I are geeks.

I'm more of a comic book, fantasy and creative geek.

He's more science, computer, knowledge and Sci-Fi kind of geek.

This weekend, he died and went nerd Heaven by attending the Star Trek movie affair.

It was describe like this

Saturday will be a Trek Triple Play with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan immediately followed by Q&A with director Nicholas Meyer who will discuss his work on the film as well as co-writing Star Trek IV and writing and directing Star Trek VI. This will be followed by showings of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock and concluding with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. The event will be moderated by Geek Monthly's Jeff Bond and TrekMovie's Anthony Pascale.

He was very happy.

Birthday Un-Surprise

One morning, the cats were playing with some rolly thing in our guest bedroom. Whatever they were playing with kept banging against the wall, making this loud noise.

It was 5 AM, so my partner, Jamie, got up to see what it was.

About 5 minutes later, he returned with a glowing ball and said the cats were playing with it under the bed. Then, he thank me for his birthday gift, which I had hidden under the guest bed (his b-day is this Tuesday).

That gift is the Enterprise E model, a Star Trek space ship.

Yes, we are both geeks.
