My interest in Star Trek has been pretty fickle: as soon as I got the fire burning the first time I was quickly enamored with Dr. Who (yeah it sucks now, I know). After a few other runs of sci-fi shows and incessant comic book reading, I have come back to Star Trek like eating cheese after four years of being vegan.

There’s also a bunch of head scratching things around the internet, like THIS Ke$ha Star Trek Mash-up video:
