Time Out: A Blast from the Past (or is that the future?)

BB NOTE: Yes, we admit it - there are plenty of recovering Trekkies (or is that Trekkers?) here at the Cafe. Now that Star Trek (and it's descendants or ancestors) are off the air, we've been missing flipping through the channels and finding the beloved reruns. We're still slightly Luddite when it comes to the television because here at the Cafe we don't have cable. Understand that's practically flatearth (we've made up for it in Apple gadgets though) and so we don't have the Science Fiction Channel. But we do have the next best thing.

And speaking of the next best thing, here is one of the best scenes ever in Star Trek. We recall going to see an encore presentation of this particular film at the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum (on their giganic IMAX screens) in DC with hundreds of other Trekkers and the audience would get in the act and do the lines along with the film. It was a Rocky Horror Experience (though no rice).

This film in particular is filled with great lines - and so we do wonder how many out there actually all ready know (or still know) the lines from this clip? The BabyBlueBrother need not answer because we know he does. But for your viewing enjoyment we bring it to you tonight - and one does often feel a bit like a member of the Starship Enterprise these days. Oh that we were all one big happy fleet.


LATER: Okay, while we're on this topic, we might as well post another great moment. Still funny after twenty years.


EVEN LATER: Well, we're on a roll now. Here's a fine tribute to forty years of Star Trek. We saw our first episode Metamorphosis when we were six and Grandma let us stay up late.
