The Great Bird Has Landed: Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett in a candid moment from TREK NATION.
A son goes in search of the father he never quite knew, and the CFQ crew gets introspective enough to take a nostalgic trip back to explore one of the formative influences on their sense of wonder, Gene Roddenberry’s STAR TREK.
Come join our special guest, theofantastique.com‘s John W. Morehead, as he joins Cinefantastique Online’s Steve Biodrowski, Lawrence French, and Dan Persons as they discuss TREK NATION, the documentary by Roddenberry’s son, Eugene, that delves not only into the landmark show, its follow-ups, and its eternal fandom, but also the man behind the trek, his strengths and his flaws. Lasting influences will be identified, favorite episodes will be discussed, lives will be lived long, and prosperity will be… uh… prospered.

Found this little gem surfing over to TrekMovie.com. SHATNER OF THE MOUNT by Fall On Your Sword. “CAPTAIN KIRK IS CLIMBING THE MOUNTAIN!”
Apparently edited from one of the special features of the STAR TREK V:THE FINAL FRONTIER (1989) DVD.
And isn’t it about time Paramount let William Shatner do a Director’s Edition of that film?
By the Shatman’s own admission, STAR TREK V could realy use some improving, some of which there simply wasn’t enough time and money for when it was first released.
The whole ending had to be changed due to FX that just didn’t work. And the writers strike kinda kept them from doing more script tinkering.
It’s never going to be a silk purse, but even a sow’s ear can be fashioned into something useful.
By the way, William Shatner’s going to be directing his first documentary, which will be about — wait for it –William Shatner.
Nothing like getting an expert!
