William Shatner beams aboard the Enterprise Bridge.

Okay, time for some light humor here. Trek lord William Shatner finally made it onto the bridge of J.J. Abram's new Star Trek USS Enterprise bridge set. I have a working theory. I think Scotty needs to enhance the transporter signal or do a re-check on the old captains beam in co-ordinates because something doesn't seem quite right! Who I wonder is operating the transporter controls? When the captain gets a firm grip of himself, some Starfleet is going to get a fast education on emergency airlock procedures!

 Who is that familiar looking imposter sitting in the captains chair?

Chris Pine on the other hand is looking forward to the next Star Trek movie. In a recent interview with an adoring female fan, Pine shared some Star Trek news at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's annual installation luncheon where he was accepting a check for the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television.

"The big thing I've been surprised by is how many people who weren't fans who we were able to grab into the fold," Pine told the LA Times. "To make 'Star Trek' accessible to a wider audience and to a new generation of fans is a wonderful thing, and I'm looking forward to getting back into the second one."





What's the scoop on the new "Star Trek 2"?


"I know as much as anybody else," Pine admitted. "They want to get stuff going for 2011 so I don't know if that means we'll shoot next year or what, but I haven't heard anything one way or the other."
Is the whole cast coming back? "As far as I know, yeah. Sure."

Kirk vs Vader

Darth Vader: Captain James T. Kirk, we meet at last. I'm glad you saw sense and decided to surrender.

Captain Kirk: When Scotty swings the Enterprise around Lord Vader, I'm going to blast you out of the stars. There'll be No surrender, just space dust.

Darth Vader: I find your lack of faith most disturbing.

Captain Kirk: Spare me the double talk Vader, when the Enterprise weapons take out your rebels, you won't have a prayer.

Darth Vader: I warn you Kirk, Don't play with the powers from the darkside. Any offensive strike made against my starship by your Starfleet militants would yield fruitless results against the most powerful force in the universe. Come join me Kirk! Together we will govern the stars and overthrow the swaggering despot Federation of Planets.

Captain Kirk: Ready with phasers Mr Spock?

Spock: Ready. He is quite mad is'nt he? Captain, I feel it necessary to point out the odds of the USS Enterprise surviving the firey deathrays of Lord Vader's star destroyer.

Captain Kirk: Damn it Spock!! Not now!! (Kirk thumps his fist on the communications console.)

Darth Vader: Listen to your man Kirk. Don't become too proud of the USS Enterprise's technological superiority, it will become your undoing Captain.

Captain Kirk: Don't try to frighten me with your warlock ways, Lord Vader. Your sad dedication to that darkside magic won't save you now. We've got phasers, photon torpedoes and a doomsday weapon.

Darth Vader: (Gasp) thats cheating!

Captain Kirk: Assimulate this Anakin!

Darth Vader: Aghh!!!! You dare to call me that!!!!!

Captain Kirk: (Thumps fist on communications console) Scotty I need warp power in two seconds or we're all dead. Spock launch the Genesis........Gasp..... I can't.... breathe.....raise ...shields......

How does it end?
