Star Trek stuff... Originally I was going to post about Shatner's most recent documentary. But then I saw this. Couldn't capture the entire shot of the comic cover, but whatever. Now I'm not knowledgeable about the comic world, and it has always puzzled me why all these superheroes are battling each other just for the heck of it. But Come On, now ST Captains are battling superheroes too??? Where does it end??? Okay, on to "Chaos On The Bridge" a doc by William Shatner about ST: TNG and its troubles. I have not seen it, just heard about, looking for it to come my way. | |

'star trek/planet of the apes' was actually kind of fun. seemed a more organic fit. but if 'star trek/green lantern' brings paul pope out for a cover, i'm all for it... | |

In one form or another, Star Trek comics have been available for nearly 46 years. So with Star Trek Into Darkness hitting theaters this week, it seemed like a perfect time to celebrate them in typical Topless Robot fashion by mocking their often melodramatic covers. That said, today's Daily List presents 15 comics handpicked from the various Trek runs whose covers are a juggling act of insanity, awesomeness and silliness. Set phasers on, well, snark I guess. Here we (boldy) go. (Thanks to mycomicshop.com for being the source of many of these.)
15) Worst. Alien. Ever.
What do you get if you cross a house fly, a stereotypical punk rocker and a Gorn? I have no clue, but it must be better than this lame insectoid alien who appears to be getting off to some intergalactic tentacle porn. 14) Then There Was That Time That the Enterprise Crew Got Abducted by a Giant Aerobics Instructor on a Coke Bender
I'm hardly a fashion maven, but it's a little disheartening to know that headbands will make a comeback in the 23rd century. 13) They Were Better Before They Got Popular
12) Devices and Desires (a.k.a. The Secret Sexual Functions of the Medical Tricorder Are Revealed)
Amidst an explosiony backdrop of carnage, Picard and Crusher share a tender moment before they decide to violate the Prime Directive...and each other...to knock some space boots. 11) HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Wait, was there a Thundercats/Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover I wasn't told about? My money's on the Lion-O looking dude here. Unless it's a beard-off, in which case Riker is the clear victor. 10) James T. Kirk: Cosmic Misogynist So now we know what Kirk does with the ladies who turn him down. I'd be impressed by his choice of headgear if he weren't wearing it while aiming a spear at an unarmed woman. What a space dick. 9) Putting the Wank in Fanwank That Data, P.I. spinoff never really took off, did it? 8) Bajoran and the Beast Sigh. Ensign Ro was arguably the strongest female character to appear on Star Trek: The Next Generation, so to see her reduced to a damsel in distress in what appears to be the futuristic equivalent of a Harlequin romance novel makes me want to vomit up my Hasperat.
7) And It's Gonna Last All Night Long! In case you were wondering why this list was called "15 Awesomely Silly Star Trek Comic Book Covers," here you go. A perfect combination of goofy and cool, this one answers the question of whether or not bachelor parties still occur in the more-enlightened future. Speaking of questions, given what we know about Kirk, it is an absolute mystery as to why he isn't front and center at this thing. 6) Peg Bundy or Lwaxana Troi: You Decide
The surprise was that no one gave a shit about this issue. 5) Scooby Trek Zoinks! The cover makes it seem like this issue would be better suited for Scooby-Doo than Star Trek. Which now has me pondering what kind of bender Scotty could go on if he chased his Romulan Ale with a Scooby Snack. 4) Cosmic Colic: The Plague of the 23rd Century As Kirk and Spock quickly found out, there's nothing like getting sneezed on by a giant disembodied baby head to liven up an otherwise dull work week 3) HULK SMASH PUNY ENTERPRISE Okay, truth be told it's not actually the Hulk. (There were however some X-Men/Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover comics). Since I never actually read this issue, I'm assuming that this is an allegorical story about how disco dancing will inevitably turn the youth of America into monsters. Though I could be way off base here. 2) Scotty Gets Some It's the story nobody demanded! How many of you wanted to get the, um, skinny on Scotty's love life? Yeah, me neither, but here it is. My eyeballs canna take much more o' this! 1) Gnome If You Want To No list of Star Trek comics would be complete without mentioning that one time Kirk and Spock (who, if this cover is anything to go by, were involved in a disfiguring transporter accident) met up with a cute little gnome for an adventure. Yeah, to paraphrase the great Lana Kane I'm gonna have to say a big gnooooooooopppppe to this one.

So I guess I can expect to see ST meets the TWD comic soon, unless there was already one and I missed it while I was hyperventilating into a paper bag. | |

star trek/walking dead could be pretty good, really. it's just a matter of tinkering with possible earth timelines and such; and star trek has already got that established as a fictional possibility. i doubt that robert kirkman (the sole copyright owner of the walking dead) would ever go for that kind of thing, though, until he's bled it dry through other outlets, ie television, books, games etc. | |

STAR TREK PORN'Star Trek': 9 of the wei...on storiesWarning: This article contains language and/or sexual references that younger readers are advised to avoid. Fanfiction is an integral part of Star Trek history. Most people will tell you that Kirk and Spock were the first ever 'slash pairing' - for the uninitiated, that's a fan-imagined romance between two characters of the same sex - although others reckon this stuff goes back as far as the Bible. (We don't recommend dwelling on that last thought for too long, by the way.) And while the likes of EL James haven't done much to improve its unsavoury rep, fanfiction in its place is a fine and admirable creative pursuit, allowing young writers to develop their technique within an established universe and take an active role in the fandoms they love. A lot of it's also much better written than the soul-destroying novelisations that film studios pay half-rate writers to churn out. We're all for fanfiction at Digital Spy, make no mistake. That being said, there is some very, very weird stuff out there in the Trek fandom. We've selected nine of the best examples - a mix of story summaries and actual extracts – to prove our point. 1) "Spock knocked you up?" Bones asked quietly, eyes wide, lips pulled back in a grin. "That robot got it up and put a telepathic bun in your oven?" He held a hand up. "I need a moment." "Can we get back to the matter at hand, Dr. McCoy?" Jim hissed, pressing chilled hands to his face to fight the blush threatening to overtake it. Yep. 2) "A game using food?" Spock inquired. "Yes, a Japanese snack called pocky." The captain replied, smirking at the small amount of curiosity he had piqued. "And what, pray tell, is this 'pocky game?'" He glanced up from the pieces he was replacing. "From my understanding, two people begin eating a piece from either end and the first to pull back loses." The blonde looked up to see his first officer starring at him, eyebrow raised." You can see where this is going... 3) "What do you mean they're growing?" asked Jim, wide-eyed. "Do you need me to get you a dictionary? Growing! As in they're getting longer," said McCoy. Jim just stared at him. "I swear, Jim. I think you're growing tentacles," said McCoy, gesturing helplessly. "Now, don't ask me how, because I don't have a goddamned clue but-" He stared at the protrusions to Jim and back. "-there they are." Jim joined him in staring at them. "Tentacles? Are you sure?" He may have squeaked a little there. "Yeah, the scans don't lie," said McCoy. Jim's blue eyes were still wide. "Just how long are they going to get?" It's not the length of the tentacles, it's what you do with them. (And if you choose to seek out the rest of this story for yourself, you will discover just how true that statement is. Don't, though.) ((4 and 5 have been taken out because we're not allowed to post entire lists.)) 6) "Summary: Okay, Jim and Spock bonded and are now returning to New Vulcan to formally announce it to Spock's father, T'Pau and Spock!Prime. Not long after their arrival, however, Spock!Prime begins to catch 'whiffs' if you will of Nu!Spock's claim on Jim, which is both nostalgic and highly arousing to the poor, old guy. Things come to a head when Prime passes Jim in the hall of Sarek's new home and then proceeds to molest the young Captain against the wall." Firstly: way to give away the entire plot in the summary, bro. Secondly: DEAR GOD, WHY?!? 7) Doctor McCoy had just entered the Conference Room."Why are you all gathered round a table with a book?" "It's a long story, Doctor McCoy. Why don't you sit with us?" Uhura beckoned a seat beside her. McCoy shrugged. "Might as well. What's this book you're reading?" "It's called Harry Potter and the Philsopher's Stone" said Uhura, showing him the front title. McCoy frowned. "Unusual name for a book. Where did you get those from?" "I did!" piped up Chekov, holding up his hand. "I landed on Earth in London and someone gave them to me for a free offer!" McCoy raised his eyebrows. "That's convenient. This story better be good or I'm wasting my valuable time." Uhura smiled and started the first chapter. "The Boy Who Lived." To clarify, this is a story in which Uhura reads the first Harry Potter book to the Enterprise crew. In its entirety. THE ENTIRE BOOK. Every few paragraphs, a crew member will cut in with some witty commentary, which ends up being even more irritating than the massive chunks of unbroken text. Compared to some of the nightmare material on this list, this one is actually sort of sweet. We're just not sure why it exists. 8)This next one is simply the list of keywords that the author used to categorise the story's content. We think you'll agree it's descriptive, nevertheless. "Kirk/Spock, Kirk/McCoy, Kirk/Spock/McCoy, Gaila/Kirk, Chekhov/McCoy, McCoy/Sulu, Spock/Uhura, McCoy/Spock, Chekhov/Scotty, Kirk/Sulu, Orgy, Talking Penis, Crossdressing, Tentacles, Halloween, Rough Sex, Bouncy Castle, Schoolgirl Fantasy, Puppy Play, Mind Control, Whipping, Drunkenness, Evil Bunnies, Jell-O, Alternate Universe - Mermaid, Food Fight, De-aging, Character Turned Into Vampire" 9) And the crowning jewel...NSFW!
