Hey Star Trek! itchoo NEW YEAR RESOLUTION SOLUTION!?

Yes, friends and neighbors, it’s that time of year when all of us take down the Christmas Tree and bite our nails with anticipation for 2011. It’s that time when we reflect upon the past and what’s happened to us. It’s also that time when we reflect on 2010 and what it brought us.

Stargate Universe has been cancelled. Caprica has been cancelled. Two spin-offs were murdered by fan resistance and criticism. Let us be the first to congratulate you all! We hope that in return for our accolades, you will indulge us in reading our own New Year’s resolution.

The Crew on Pub Crawl!

Some couples would be quite unhappy if they pulled into their garage to find it flooded due to a bad hot water heater. But not our David and Alicia! In today’s Pub Crawl, we learn that living in Las Vegas means never having to pay full price for a new hot water heater. Show notes:

• Vegas Mate Contest Winners: Jacquie D., Sharon C., Aaron M., Judith W., Guy D.
• Special Guest Bartender: Darren from McMullins Irish Pub
• Cocktail of the Week: Irish Car Bomb
• Drunk term: Slainche
• McMullins, Shopping Malls, Capos, Herbs and Rye
• Lolitas, Black Door, a return to Dicks, Frankies, Otto
• Excalibur, Water Heaters and Men in Tights (Tournament of Kings!)
• Hey Bartender (your LIVE and email questions) (including the “lifestyle”)
• Last Call (how not to get thrown out, throw up, knocked up, or knocked out): How to get a strong poor at a bar

Today’s Cocktail of the Week:

Irish Car Bomb
3/4 pint Guinness
1/2 shot Irish cream
1/2 shot Irish Whiskey

Poor Guinness into a pint glass. Mix the Irish cream and Irish whiskey in a single shot glass. After Guinness settles, drop the shot glass into pint glass and immediately consume. All of it. You can do it.

We expect David to be wearing tights next week.

Hey Star Trek! dijoo HOLD IT BACK!?

If you’re listening to Trekcast, which we hope you are, you know that there has been a very sweet series of interviews being contributed by Allen from the west coast. One of these interviews that really knocked our socks off was with the very great John Billingsley –who played Doctor Phlox on Enterprise. In case you missed, here it is.

Allen was right to praise the actor throughout the interview as the “break-out” character of the show. Hearing what he had to say to trekcast’s “favorite doctor” got us all nostalgic for that final incarnation of Trek.

CBS.com is streaming the entire series as of this post, so we’ve been over there a few times for seconds and sometimes thirds. The reaction to Enterprise by Star Trek’s fan base has been a keen interest of ours for a long while. Some hate it all day. Some love it all day.

We hate to love it all day and we love to hate it all day.

At word “go make us a new Star Trek series,” show creators Brannon Braga and Rick Berman knew they wanted to make the concept fresh not only for its fans, but for themselves… after all, they’d been writing Trek for most of the professional lives. To really get into the nuts and bolts of Enterprise, we must travel back to the beginnings of TNG.

Hey Star Trek! itchoo SACRED GROUND!?

We love Robert Beltran –the gentleman who portrayed Chakotay on Star Trek: Voyager. He is the bane of many a Trek fan, because he’s known as Trek’s biggest complainer. We must forgive his wildly candid remarks about being on Star Trek, even though that’s not true of his fellow cast members.

Kate Mulgrew has criticized Beltran’s complaint: ‘they didn’t let me act.’ Her remarks were open and published in Britain’s SFX magazine across the pond.

We’re don’t agree with Beltran’s complaint, because we do think he got to act on Voyager. We will agree with Beltran that his character didn’t become the mind-blowingly awesome character that Chakotay was in theory.

You’ve been down this road with us before, gentle reader. This is the road where we go back to the drawing board and take a look at something that went wrong in Trek and wish whimsically that for our favorite television show had charted a different course.

Or better yet, that it had stayed true to course.

Hey Star Trek! itchoo AGO LOST OFF RIP!?

We were wandering through a pawnshop here in Las Vegas when we saw someone had hocked their copy of that television show The Event. The box set contained all six episodes and an extra disc with two extra episodes that never aired.

It was tempting for us to buy the thing, but even at the low price of four dollars, it wasn’t going to be worth it. Even though we didn’t know for sure, we suspected that The Event box set wasn’t going to contain “the event” the show had been building up to. We moved on from the DVDs and on out the door.

We couldn’t help but wonder what happened to that show. It premiered to an incredible number of viewers and the following week, the ratings saw a huge drop. So we went to the Hey Star Trek! offices, turned on the lights, and dusted off the old analyticator-alternator. Perhaps a closer examination of the now defunct series would reveal just what went wrong and maybe other mystery shows might be saved from the same fate.
