Because I thought G'Kar had some specific relationship to Shakespeare.

Now I just need time to watch them.<BR/><BR/>I was wondering how many of you have seen the new trailer for the upcoming Star Trek movie by JJ Abrams? Trailers usually have more excitement than the actual movies, but still... this trailer makes me want to see this. Plus, Star Trek usually has lots of cool little atheistic tidbits we can all chuckle at and demolish post viewing.<BR/><BR/>Check out the trailers over at Apple's page:<BR/><BR/>http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/startrek/Jonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15907254174794098010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9313009.post-67854914177686167942008-12-04T11:52:00.000-06:002008-12-04T11:52:00.000-06:00"This man is dead — murdered!

(I could also throw in Silent Running, but that's also Doug Trumbull so we'll just count it as an extension of 2001 FX-wise.)<BR/><BR/>2. JMS would be a good choice. If you remember, he paid homage to FP in B5 when Sinclair and Ivanova went down to the planet the station was orbiting and found the Great Machine. It's been too long since I've watched the show, however, and so cannot remember the name of the planet or the name of the guy guarding the machine. I'll hang my geeky head in shame now.<BR/><BR/>3.
