After years of speculation, the sixth Star Trek TV series has finally been announced: Star Trek: Discovery! The new series features a starship with the same name (NCC-1031) which looks like a cross between a TOS-era Federation starship (round saucer) and a Klingon K't'inga battle cruiser (triangular body). While we don't know much more than that, we can infer that the U.S.S. Discovery will not feature the crew of the rebooted U.S.S. Enterprise as previously speculated; instead, it may feature multiple crews. Plus, each episode of the series may contribute to a season-long story arc rather than having isolated plotlines as the five other TV series do. The show is set to air in January 2017, but there's a problem: While the pilot episode will be on CBS, the rest of the episodes will be on CBS' online subscription streaming service, All Access, as well as Netflix. Star Trek has an…
Happy Martin Luther King Day and 2011! Sorry it has been so long since I last wrote (in 2010). Back in good old Summer '09, I wrote a Blog entry on the old The E Club, since Luigi was in the New York Times Crossword Puzzle of that day. If I remember correctly, the clue was "Brother of Nintendo's Mario". Who wouldn't be able to figure that one out? Too bad I accidentally deleted the original entry.
So, in today's NY Times Crossword (January 17, 2011), I saw another clue about Luigi. It said something like, "Video game Mario's brother". It basically says the same thing, right? So, why did I post this entry all along?
Right next to that clue, there was another clue, that said something like, "Adventure with Captain Kirk". Wow! A Mario clue and a Star Trek clue...right next to each other! It took me a while to figure out that clue, but I realized the answer was "Trek". It's weird...two clues…
Star Trek has a big history, yet with a not-so-big airing. Star Trek's last aired series was Star Trek: Enterprise, which ended in 2005. You can see Star Trek episodes on the SyFy Channel, on YouTube, and, you can also check out some Star Trek comics! I have already read lots of them, and they are very realistic (for Star Trek, that is). They are published by a number of comic book publishers-DC, IDW, Gold Key Comics, Marvel, and more. One of the most recent Star Trek comics, though, was Star Trek: Countdown by IDW Publishing. It, as said in a previous entry of this blog, it's the official prequel of the new Star Trek Movie! They are on sale probably at a comic store near you.
Today was an exciting day for me, even though it hardly started, because I finally got the 242nd Star in Super Mario Galaxy 2! As shown in the last Blog entry, Grandmaster Galaxy is the last galaxy in the whole game, after you collect all 120 stars and green stars, it's unlocked. It took me a long time to beat the Grandmaster Prankster Comet, The Perfect Run with Mario, but a Nunchuk glitch made Mario fall off. Finally, I beat it as Luigi. Also, this September, It's Mario's birthday and the release of the first "unofficial" Star Trek episode! In November, it's Luigi's birthday!

Hi, Star Trek fans! Did you ever wonder what happened before Star Trek 11? (See "STAR TREK MORE POPULAR! Entry in this Blog") Now, you can stop wondering because there's a comic book called Star Trek: Countdown that's out now and it is the prequel to Star Trek 11! If you want to know more about this comic book, CLICK HERE. Enjoy! It's about Spock's relationship with Nero, which was a good one, surprisingly, and how Nero then wanted revenge on the entire universe when the star that Romulus, Nero's homeworld, orbited around and then collapsed and destroyed Romulus itself, and Spock promised he would use a special Vulcan weapon to destroy the supernova and save Romulus, but the Vulcan Council didn't approve. You can also buy this comic on Amazon.com or maybe a local bookstore near you!
Hey, Star Trek fans! Did you ever want Spock (Leonard Nimoy) to be in a Star Trek: The Next Generation episode? Well, it happened in a Next Generation episode called Unification. It has two parts and was on the Sci-Fi channel (now called SyFy) on August 24, 2009, part 1 was at 9:00, and ended at 10:00, and part 2 was from 10:00 to 11:00. Spock looks like he did in TOS (The Original Series) movies. Do any of you Star Trek fans or people who are developing a Star Trek interest want to see Unification? Click here!
BREAKING NEWS: On May 2009, the eleventh Star Trek movie came out! Originally, Star Trek XI was planned to come out in December 2008, but there were so many Christmas movies then, the producers thought that it won't do well against them. May was the right time to release Star Trek XI because there weren't as many movies coming out then as there were in December 2008. Star Trek XI was a success! In fact, it was so successful that all of Star Trek became popular since then.
