Earth Day

CELEBRATE EARTH DAY 

In honor of the day I composed another Fib:

Trees
Grass
Oceans
Nurturing
All things living here.
Now we must save the Earth, our home.

OMG - Star Trek

I just read in Variety that Paramount is planning to make a Kirk and Spock movie dealing with the early days of the characters at Star Fleet Academy. In March I read an article at Ain't It Cool News that described a script being proposed that could be the script just green-lighted--don't read if you want to avoid possible spoilers. My peeve is the Kirk in the script appears not to be the Kirk that he himself described as "Serious? I was absolutely grim" and of whom Gary Mitchell said "I remember you back at the academy--a stack of books with legs." Of course young Kirk and Spock and McCoy and Scotty would be played by young hunks with a possible cameo by Shatner and Nimoy. To be honest I've never really liked anything produced after The Original Series so I'm extremely doubtful if this will have any appeal for me. And as I've learned about watching the shennanigans in Hollywood I won't believe the movie exists until it actually appears in the theaters.
