Trekcast Episode 66: A night in sickbay
Hey Star Trek! donchoo WANNA HULK OUT!?
Comic-Com comes upon us all this week and even though we at Hey Star Trek! will not be in attendance, we are looking forward to one piece of particularly nerdy news.
Nothing is expected in the Star Trek realm of things, but there is plenty happening in the world of Marvel Movies. If you haven’t heard, Joss Whedon’s making the avengers. If you haven’t heard, the Avengers will have Iron Man in it, Thor in it, and Captain America in it.
All these guys will be played by the folks who portrayed them in their original movies. That means Robert Downey Jr. That means Kirk’s dad (who plays Thor). And the guy who played the human torch (who is also Captain America).
Of course in current Marveldom, the Incredible Hulk is played by Edward Norton. But he won’t be along for the ride…

Hey Star Trek! dijoo SAVE THE FLIPPIN’ EARTH!?
We’ve written you all about Gene Roddenberry optimism. We’ve shown you countless examples in Hey Star Trek!’s long canon of the optimism being awesome and super cool.
We might have mentioned on some occasions that many a Star Trek fan does not enjoy some of the “darker” elements of Trek. “Section 31 (the Federation’s black ops organization)” is out with them. Killing Ensign Sito (the cute Bajoran blonde from “Lower Decks”) makes them cry foul because Star Trek’s about hope. Another culprit would be the “Dominion War” because it counters the Roddenberry message of “being better people.”
These elements can be deemed as Star Trek “being more realistic.” The protest from fans might be saying that realism and Trek don’t mix.
If that’s the case, then fans have been ignoring one big giant warp flight of reality that has a long, very strange history. There’s a bit of elitism in Star Trek’s Starfleet and we feel it’s our duty to alert all of you to this!

Hey Star Trek! gotchoo NO MORE TUESDAY NIGHTS!?
A long time ago, in a hotel room far far away, Damon Lindelof and J.J. Abrams brainstormed a television show for ABC called Lost. The two of them were brought together to fulfill one ABC exec’s dream: Castaway the TV show.
The assignment from up on high was thrown to various executives and show-running teams and everyone had bowling with coconuts by episode four.
So it fell to Abrams and Lindelof to come up with something just a little more unique –and unique it was.
And now that it’s over, we’re certain many people are scratching their heads and contemplating just what the heck it all meant and deciding whether or not they’re happy with where it ended up. Did it answer all of your questions? Was there anything you forgot about?
We wonder what your thoughts are, because we sure as heck know what we think.

When you’re burned, you’ve got nothing. No arguments. No evidence to argue. No way to bring someone to your point of view.
You blog for the website that got you started. You blog whatever nerd topics come your way. You rely on the numbers at your Facebook “like” page. Podcast listeners too.
Bottom line, as long as you’re burned. You’re not going anywhere.

Hey Star Trek! dijoo GET HOT IN HERE!?
This blog post began with us researching the Prime Directive to help a friend out with a story she’s writing. Researching the Prime Directive involves watching certain tent-pole episodes to observe how the rule is applied and how it might be broken.
But a funny thing happened on the way to Federation Law School.
We just might have uncovered more than we ever wanted to know about Gene Roddenberry and the topic of sex. It’s just possible that the Great Bird of the Galaxy left something in his tapestry designed to illuminate his own sexual desires.
Read on, gentle reader, we’re all friends here, right?
