I just found this review of a ST book, or actually comic book, as they say there, "The Ashes of Eden."
http://them0vieblog.com/2013/08/19/star-trek-the-ashes-of-eden-by-william-shatner-et-al-dc-comics-review/
Written by William Shatner with co-authors, quite interesting story. I read it already years ago and liked it, although some moments were like "really?"
Recently, I listened to a recording, dramatized with sound, read by William Shatner!
Was this his first book about Kirk?

A little art challenge.  I wonder what the Shake it Off lyrics would sound like set to the Orion Seduction Ballad?

[Buster's Uncle]

Shake it o-o-o-o-o-ooff (keep moving)
Shake it o-o-o-o-o-ooff (you love me),
I've got this music i-i-in my-y mind
Sayin' it will be-e all right
And so I dance to te-empt all the men
With my glossy green behind
and take comfort in the end,
I know I'm riii-ight!

Is that a greeny call, or what?

[Buster's Uncle]

Both.

ORION SLAVE GIRL Vina (The Cage)

Not quite the arrangement of the tune I was writing to, but still.

(Scene, BTW, heavily derivative of the 50s Jeffery Hunter movie Princess of the Nile .

STAR TREK DANCE ("Vena's Dance") MONTAGE

Without the green (ladies), but without dialogue over it, too.

"Paint her greener!"  (from The Making of Star Trek)

I will say this: Jeffrey Hunter had gorgeous eyes...

That was Majel in a pre-production test shot, BTW.

He totally did.  What woman did not spot the new guy who looked kinda like him in First Contact?  I thought that was a lovely callback, if done knowingly, and was sorry/disappointed he got killed - the looking like Pike kept me from expecting that he was created as cannon fodder, when I'd looked for canon fodder...

[Valka]

I've seen First Contact several times and never noticed anyone who looks like Jeffrey Hunter.

The young bridge guy -maybe navigator and had lines, killed in the fight on the dish- coulda been Pike's great-grandson or something...

...Hope I didn't just spoil an 18.5 year-old movie for anyone...

[Valka]

Hmm. Well, this is one of the Star Trek movies currently available on Canadian Netflix now, so maybe it's time to watch it again.

So hEt?  Who's your favorite captain?  What your favorite fake ST?  I think Uno said you were TNG - it's all he seems to know, anyway...
