First things first, a little PSA. Unless you've been in a drunken festive stupor/don't celebrate it/are in Asia, Australia, or NZ where it already is the 25th, it may not have escaped your attention that it's Christmas soon. This is just a note to say...

NO POSTS WILL BE ACCEPTED TOMORROW. YOU ARE FREE TO POST SOMETHING, BUT IT IS LIKELY TO SIT IN THE MODERATION QUEUE, AND MAY NOT BE ACCEPTED UNTIL THE 26TH. WE'D LIKE A DAY OFF, AFTER ALL. :)

That out of the way, this post is dedicated to holiday spirit!



CHRIST ON A CRACKER, IT'S A HOLIDAY FREE-FOR-ALL POST! :D

Feel free to write anything at all in comments, from "Merry Christmas!" to what your resolutions are for 2010, something you did in 2009 that was amazing, to something you're looking forward to in the next year, whether real-life or fandom. Anything is welcome. See this as a giant chat/free-for-all post. A metaphorical GQMF Christmas party. Anything is fair game. Talk amongst yourself or to yourself, whatever tickles your fancy.

(This isn't meant to be a party post, per se, more a giant chat post, but I am disabling e-mail notifications, so do what you will. :D)

From all the Mods at ontd_startrek, thank you for making this community a wonderful wank-free place to be, and let's take it to new heights in 2010! Merry Christmas (or whatever you celebrate or don't) to you all. May you have a wonderful day, and we hope 2010 brings you everything you desire.

Live long and prosper. ♥

Sorry for fixing the first image late. I just came back from watching Avatar

I'm a bit early, but since it's Christmas Eve today, I figure it's close enough.

Can I just say? LeVar Burton's daughter is gorgeous!

For those who don't follow wil Wheaton's Twitter or blog, do take a moment to read the hilarity that is his epic post about this DVD launch party. Highlights include Seth McFarlane serenading his guests in full rat pack regalia, an ice sculpture of Stewie as Darth Vader, and a touching close encounter with the composer of TNG's soundtrack. Attendees apparently included people like the Shamwow Guy and Paris Hilton. I'M NOT JOKING.

Prototypes for the second set are out now! Featuring Hachikuji, Kanbaru and Nadeko.



Hmm... they still need to make the Oshino duo

I've lurked for a week or two here now and have finally decided to make my presence known by presenting to you all... fanart.
It's incredibly shitty and sketchy, please don't hate me. ;_;

Edit: Snap, I'm a stupid idiot and forgot completely about the ratings and pairings and stuff I was supposed to put with this. Sigh. Sorry. Dx

Short, but sweet:

In a decade filled with the return of iconic franchises, Star Trek went from Impulse Drive to Warp 9 (too easy?) with both critics and audiences with its reboot this year. When J.J. Abrams signed on to take the helm of the Star Trek franchise with a group of new faces taking on the roles of the timeless Enterprise crew, little did we know that the blockbuster film would go on to be one of the best reviewed movies of the year.

While film after film has taken us forward with the voyagers of the Starship Enterprise, Star Trek was a true origins story that wasn't geared towards Trekkies, too simple for fans of the show, or too complex for newbies. Star Trek delivered a visually stunning brand of mainstream entertainment that propelled the series back not only back into theaters, but the public consciousness. However, the movie had some stiff competition, going up against the son of Mr. and Mrs. Bond and a man in a bat suit, amongst a number of others but its broad appeal and ability to recruit a whole new generation of Star Trek fans make it the Best Reboot of the Decade.

This is based on the overall rating, which ST got a 94%. Rounding out the top 5: Casino Royale (94), The Departed (92), 3:10 to Yuma (88), Batman Begins (85)

The first thing to say is sorry for being absent for so much time, because real life just drains too much of my internet time but in compensation I bring some arts! Hope you like it, and an early merry christmas!

Our dear Zoe Saldana was featured recently on the popular website for queer women and our allies, www.afterellen.com

Because its Christmas, or the night before.

Schrottie: Lo, How a Russian E'er Blooming!

Mods: This is actually from August 2008, but since ontd_startrek wasn't around back then and Avatar was just released last weekend (With a pretty interesting story between it and STXI that perhaps some here aren't aware of) - I hope the post is still accepted! :)

Saldana Needed Some Convincing To Take On Uhura
August 25, 2008

About a year ago TrekMovie.com broke the news that Zoe Saldana had been offered the role of Uhura in the new Star Trek. At the time it wasn’t clear if she would take the role, due to her obligations shooting another Sci-Fi blockbuster, Avatar. Now in a new interview Saldana reveals that the director of that film helped talk her into taking the Trek job. The actress also talks more more about Uhura and her possible future as well as JJ Abrams’ respect for the fans.

By the way, while skimming through the comments to the source article I was reminded of the amount of hate/doubt that the unseen STXI had received long before its eventual release - whether the complaints were targeted towards J.J./film/casting/etc./etc. Thank goodness comment #25 (It deserves a read!) showed up in that particular post to restore some sense and spur on the defenders' spirits!

 

ETA: Would you believe I debated posting this? You guys are so fucking awesome I can't contain myself.

In last week's THRILLING EPISODE of Bake it So/Make it Sew... your friendly neighborhood mod had a totally crazy week and forgot to put up the post. D:

So... er... TWO weeks ago, here's what our GQMF members brought us:

• myselftheliar  's friend screened an awesome TNG shirt
• lallyloo  put up maybe the most GQ Christmas tree ever
• jiori_seth  made an adorable redshirt mobile
• parallelothingy  cooked up a big bowl of borscht for those cold Russian Midwestern nights

How many of you are inflicting enthralling friends and family with GQ baked goodies this holiday season?  Or making ST-inspired gifts?  Post 'em below! :D

Some kid named Chris Pine gets saucy at a Halloween party from... 2007/8 maybe? Shot by the people who brought you Zach Quinto/Before the Door's "Bordeaux," and discovered in the depths of their website (not by me). Now giffed for your pleasure (yes by me!).

Lol I don't even know. Newsflash: Piney continues to be ridiculous and amazing. There aren't many but he wasn't as big of a ~star~ then, I guess.

( warning: some are with a ~gurl~ so prep the fainting couches )

Recently I was clearing out my wardrobe and got my hands back on some old DVDs and Tapes I very well adored back a decade ago. Oh how could I forget this wonderfull german StarTrek Comedy Series. I think its worth an article clear entitled as Retro.

1998-2000:
Take SNL and transcribe it into something German (Bullyparade), give them TOS and alot GAYness (actual, all characters play gay) and put it on TV in short sketches (around 60 stories each 3-5minutes long).
An Epic Work was born. "Our Dream/spaceship":

Brian Fuller (a producer/writer behind awesomeness like Heroes, Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, and many episodes of DS9 and Voyager) published his list of Five Faves from 2009. What's his favorite movie?

( K/S Shippers will be especially pleased. )
