   1 Hi! Glad to hear you like Wrath of Khan. My first ST was the first one (”the motion picture”) which I found very dull (not surprisingly since I was very young). But then I saw the second one, Khan, which was excellent! Reply to this comment.

   2 Hey Reine, thanks for commenting. I saw The Motion Picture after Wrath of Khan, and I thought it was weak. Khan was definitely the best movie of all the movies, in my humble opinion. Who’s your favourite captain and why? Reply to this comment.

   3 Quite a good read, he’s not a bad writer that Wil fella. Khan was probably my favorite Trek movie aswell all the others seemed to be a bit namby pamby for my liking. As for Captains you can’t beat Jean Luc, there is simply no better. Reply to this comment.

   5 My favourite captain? Picard, no doubt. His philosophical nature is very inspiring, unlike aggressive cowboys such as Kirk. Reply to this comment.

   6 Hi Alanz, I like the look of your new blog, though I like your ‘Ave A Nice Life probably more. Amazing what you can do with “Neo”. I am thinking about using it, too for my blog. Thanks also for the link to Wil Wheaton. I love Star Track, especially the Next Generation. They have some really cool stuff about who we are. At least I use it that way. Reply to this comment.

   7 thanks alban. I’ll take your template comments into consideration, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that you’ve come along with such comments at EXACTLY the same time as I was looking at changing the template! Reply to this comment.

   8 Hi Alan. Long time no see. I met Scotty (James Doohan) a couple of years before he died. He was making his last movie in town. By then he was obese and white haired. I was visiting the same building where the movie crew was getting ready to shoot a scene. As I was walking down a staircase watching my feet (because I didn’t want to trip over the thick cables) half way down I heard a loud voice shout “HOLD IT”. I stopped and looking up I was staring eyeball to eyeball with Scotty. My immediate reaction was to say “beam me down Scotty”. Well, needless to say it broke up the crew and Scotty as well. You see, he was doing the same thing looking at his feet and if we hadn’t stopped in time we would have butted heads for sure. True story. Cheers! …BB Reply to this comment.

   9 Hi there blog bloke, nice to see you’re still hanging out here! That’s a pretty cool story about Scotty. I can understand how something like that will stay in your memories forever… Scotty was a legend, just like Kirk and Spock. They were legends within the Star Trek mythos, and ironically, the characters have become legends in reality as well. Everyone knows them, even if they’ve never watched Star Trek in their lives. That’s pretty impressive that a bunch of fictional characters have become widely recognised icons of a developing civilisation, at the same time as they influence that development!
