Hey guys! Over in the Gathering Place, they're talking about Star Wars. I know there are other message boards dedicated to this, but I am a big Star Trek fan. Recently I have been able to see a couple of episodes of the original series that have been updated in regards to the special effects. Its really cool to see 21st century computer graphics used on a 1960's TV show. Its been fun picking out the new shots!
Where do you guys get haircuts and how do you get it cut?
I go to Burbank Barber Shop in my town and get a buzz.

About 10 years ago I got one of those emails forwarded that were basically a joke (glad that trend has fizzled) but it was a list: 100 reasons it's great to be a guy.
While the vast majority of the email from back then was worthless, this one was classic and I wish I could find it.
Some I remember were:
One mood, all the time. You don't give a carp if no one notices your haircut You understand nwhy "Stripes" is funny

Are these showing on any special channel. I've been a huge Trek and Star Wars fan for years. Met a couple cast members from Next generation. I would love to see this.

Actually they are being run on a local independent station, Sunday afternoon at 1:00pm. I know that season 1 of the original series, with the updates is available on DVD. Here is a link if you are interested: http://www.startrek.com/startrek/view/stor...le/2303263.html
The cleanup looks really good and some of the space shots are very well done althought the ship looks a little bit too CG for me. Other than that I like everything else that I saw. Still I always prefer when they use models with CG backgrounds over all CG. I can usually spot CG ship a mile away. Its funny how Star Waes fan clamour for the untouched originals for years and how the Star trek fans are excited over the new redo. On a side note a finally got to see the Doctor Who eposiode with the Master and his new regeneration on Youtube. This series just gets better and better.

Have you seen any of the new series with either Christopher Eccleston or David Tennant as the good Doctor? I've seen them on DVD and I think they intentionally left some of the graphics cheesy to appease fans of the old series.
We actually have three channels that show them up here. The Sci Fi channel, PBS, and the Canadian BBC so I managed to see almost every episode at least twice. The only one I haven't been able to catch is Rose's last episode where she is left in the parallel dimension. Rumors are that she is coming back. There is alot more inconnectedness and it even has its own spinoff now "Torchwood." True some of the graphics are cheesy (TV budgets) but the stories are really well done. Otherwise some episodes are on Youtube. I just caught the return of the Master there last week. I'm hoping to pick up the DVD's someday when they lower the price.

I would go nuts when I come home and you look forward to a nice cold beer and there are none in the fridge. My lovely other would always remove the beer first when she needed space in the fridge. After the first 25 years , I finally have a door shelf all my own going on 5 years now. I should have just bought another fridge!!!
One of the best "Guy" shows that has ever been on TV was the Canadian show "Red Green". Its humor was one that a guy could really relate too. Now if you had a Guiness while you watched it was even funnier.
