To Boldly Go...

So did you see "Star Trek?" I did. I must say, I wasn't sure what to expect, but I think it's the best movie so far this "summer." The new cast was pretty much spot-on. Eomer as "Bones" McCoy? Heck yeah! Of course, no big splashy summer movie comes without major marketing, and that includes the toys...

Enter Playmates. They've put out a line of action figures in no less than 3 scales. Not only that, but you can get yourself an Enterprise model, a bridge playset, or...dare I say it...a communicator replica! I haven't bought any of these, and I can't say I've even had a good look at them, but the figures I saw in stores recently looked a little cheesy. Then again, Trek is a little cheesy.

Coming Soon: SDCC 2009! (+ "Chuck")

Your intrepid blogstress is again heading south of LA for the annual San Diego Comic Con International! Alas, I'll only be there for a few days (Saturday and Sunday, mainly), but I intend to bring you as many photos and fan-girl babblings as I can from the con floor.

No word yet on the official presentations, but I am sure there will be some awesome exclusive stuff and guests on hand. Speaking of awesome...

Did you hear that NBC's "Chuck" has been renewed for 13 episodes next season? You might wonder what that has to do with Comic Con? Well, for you loyal "Chuck" viewers, that's an easy one. First off, the cast has appeared at SDCC in the past (why, isn't that Sarah, Ellie, and Awesome in that picture at the WB booth?). Second, if you watch the show, you'll notice the SDCC logo stickers, posters, etc. that decorate Chuck's room and the lockers at the Buy More. "Chuck" is a show for geeks just like us. :D 13 episodes is only half a season's worth, so we gotta keep watching and buying those "Five. Five dollar. Five dollar foot looooooongs..." Support "Chuck!"
