Star Trek Stuff!

Hi everyone... Nina here with a quick update on some TIME-SENSITIVE Star Trek news that we've told you about earlier and you've probably forgotten by now.

First off, waaaaay back in May we told you about how Christie's auction house would be auctioning off 40 years' worth of Star Trek memorabilia from all of the different incarnations of the show to celebrate the shows 40 year anniversary.

Well, the auction is in New York City this Thursday, October 5, and if you want to participate by bidding online you have until 5PM EST TODAY to register at Christie's Star Trek site and place your absentee bids.  No bids will be accepted after 5PM.

Bid high and prosper!

Okay, that was cheesy.  I couldn't help it.

Second, last month I gave you some information on Star Trek's digital face-lift.  The newly-restored epsiodes of the original series are now playing around the country (in fact, you may have already missed the first few.)  Click here for a list of airdates and affiliates.

So, are any of you signing up to bid? Just curious...

I placed a 3-dollar cap on a bid for Shatner hairpiece #712, which he wore in the scene from one of the movies where he's rubbing a whale.

I would like to own Lot # 210... the Klingon Bat'leth.

I thought about it...

... but unlike most Trekkies, I have to pay rent.

Tee-hee!

You know they always make a fuss about being called Trekkies

Posted by TheThirdDude on October 3, 2006 - 1:53pm.

and the nerds usually insist on being called TrekkERS, but if you think about it, aren't trekkers those people who take long walks in canyons and on rocky terrain for SPORT? Who the hell died and told a buncha science fiction fans that they could take over a perfectly legitimate, and hard to earn, word by which to call themeselves!!?? I mean, probably surviving in a convention that's overflowing with smelly people deserves some kind of special term, but I don't know if i'd go so far as to call it anything that sounds remotely sporty.

$7.1 Million

That's how much the auction brought in over the weekend, more than double what Christie's expected, apparently The Enterprise D sold for just over half-a-million dollars.
