Mr. Sulu smacks down 'Twilight'

George Takei is boldly going where no one has gone before. Well, where no one has gone before and come out not torn to shreds by the legions of Twi-hards.

You see, not so long ago in a galaxy not so far away, a war broke out between two different but equally geeky enthusiastic factions, and the great "Star Wars" vs. "Star Trek" debate was born.

Refusing to let a good feud die, both William Shatner and Carrie Fisher have recently stoked the flames of that fire, and now the erstwhile Sulu has stepped up to put an end, once and for all, to the unending dispute. By urging both sides to unite in their disdain for the "Twilight" series.

"Fellow Star folks, cool it down and shut your big wormholes," implores Takei in a video uploaded to YouTube. "Each is wonderful in its own special way. What's needed today now more than ever is star peace, for there is an ominous, mutual threat to all science fiction. It's called 'Twilight' and it is really, really bad."

The fighting words didn't end there, and Takei went on to take down Kristen Stewart's brooding, Robert Pattinson's, well, sparkling, and—gasp!—even Taylor Lautner's shirt-eschewing.

"Gone is any sense of heroism, camaraderie or epic battles. In its place, we have vampires that sparkle, moan and go to high school. Now, I'm not above mixing in a little sex appeal to spice up the fantasy, but sci-fi fans be warned, there are no great stories, characters or profound life lessons to be found in 'Twilight.' Nooo…In 'Twilight,' the only message that rings through loud and clear is: 'Does my boyfriend like me?'

"Let us band together to combat this mutual threat."

Uh, something tells us he may not be living so long or prosperously after "Twilight" fans catch wind of this.

You tell 'em, George.

Whatevs, I like it all, well, except Star Wars.

I love George though. He's so damn funny.

*Live Long and Prosper*

I could listen to him speak all day.

If the author of this post were asked, she might express a real dislike for the series of books in this line, if only for the simple reason that they helped get her niece started on thinking that abusive men are sexy, and that a helpless protagonist is a sexy protagonist.

I don't really know anything about the Twilight series,
but if it has an aged Japanese gay man speaking out against vampires that sparkle,
doesn't that mean that something went really wrong?

some would say so. in fact. an entire symposium based out of the cambridge literature department regards 'twilight' as a return to anti-feminism.

Coincidentlly, when me & my siblings were younger, we used to call our mom's dyke sister "Auntie Feminism",
until one day when Mom yelled at us & told us to stop.

and if your reasoning power is as good as your spelling, you'll be every bit as effective when you reach adulthood as you were when a child.

George rules! He sits in several weeks out of the year on Stern and he's always awesome.

^ i do wonder if george takei is an alien.
