Star Trek Weekend

[billroper]

A while back, the National Review Online promised to do a "Star Trek Day" if they succeeded in a certain amount of fundraising to support their on-line operation. Apparently, they were successful enough to produce a "Star Trek Weekend".

So if you click here during the next day or two, you'll find that the front page of the NRO is chock full of Star Trek material. You might even find some of it amusing.

Update: Here's the archive link that should keep working even after the front page is updated.

I liked the article on the thesis that if you like Star Trek you'll like Doctor Who, but I defy anyone to watch The Wrath of Khan and still maintain that the Doctor is better characterized than any Starfleet captain.

Jennifer Kaczor doesn't appear to know her Trek from her Wars.

I noticed that too.

I was at all the cons Mark Krikorian cites (several editions of Shore Leave). He got one tiny thing wrong, but the correct answer is amusing: it wasn't the RL USS Enterprise captain's wife who provided his measurements so a copy of the ST movie uniform could be made for him. It was his XO, merrily breaking multiple regs on his way to obtaining confidential personal info. The captain said he'd overlook it since he was having too much fun to convene a court martial.

The snide "professional widow" remark about Majel and Coretta Scott King was *way* out of line in both cases, however.
