Yeah, I had to think about posting non-small screen stuff here.  I certainly didn't want to start a new thread and I couldn't find a more generalized trekkie thread.  We should get this one renamed or something.  Plenty of discussion here about the big screen as well.

Expanded the focus.  Originally, just started as me asking, if it was time to return to the small screen.

Saw Terminator: Genisys and it gets a C. It was okay but nothing special.  It could've been a great movie.

Well, next up is "Minions".

Watched Nightcrawler. Man, Gyllenhaal's character neded a severe beatdown. Severe. I wanted to enjoy that movie so much. Seemed like a really good one. Unfortunately I spent all of it hoping that someone would bash his head in with a blunt instrument

I think his character would be perfect for the character in Gone Girl. The two seem made for each other.

Falling Skies final season starts tonight.

Actually, I came for Marina. I had her autograph from 20 years but wanted a photo with her.  I didn't have money to get Walter or Nichelle's Autograph but I figured a photo was even better.

I don't know if Nichelle did any panels this weekend; she wasn't at the one I attended with Marina and Walter.  Still, it was nice of her to keep this date and come out; so soon after her stroke. 

Walter was funny, though he did seem to be out of it a little and needed prodding from Marina.  Marina did seem a little bitter about the modern Trek.  She doesn't care for it. Walter doesn't care; he has no problem.

Actually, it was kind of sad because I know that the remaining classic Trek actors won't be around much longer.

Got to meet Nichelle Nichols yesterday at Florida Supercon.

Got to meet Walter Koenig also.  Good thing I got 2 pics with him, I look kind of silly with mouth open.

Also met Marina Sirtis again and got a professional photo and also got her autograph.

Pine and Quinto sign on for Star Trek 4.

I saw "Ted 2" this evening.  I'll give a B-.  I liked it but something was missing this time around. Not a bad movie. Maybe seeing it again for another movie; doesn't hold the same cache, as the original.

Filming has begun on the next movie.  I would like to see cameo appearances by the surviving actors in the movie.  They won't be appearing as the roles they played on the show but for the 50th anniversary; they should make an appearance in the movie.

Inside Out - B.  I liked it. I was shocked it did so well though because this was a cartoon that really was for older kids or even adults.  I'm not sure younger kids or little ones would even understand the different emotions.

^ thought that was a typo at first, and meant josh. His dad was a pretty swagged out guy, but he lacks the authentic accent. A non-brit can NEVER BE bond, imo.

I know the idea has been tossed out there for Idris Elba to play bond when Craig's run is done, and I'd love to see that. He might be a little old, though. Even though Roger moore was kinda old in his last bond movie

You don't say?  Roger never should've made "A View To a Kill". Probably, his worst Bond movie. He was clearly to old.

It's kind of ironic that the men who got the part were considered for the role earlier.

Moore was in contention for the first Bond but, think they said he looked to much like a pretty boy. Timothy Dalton was in contention when Moore did take the role.  We all know Pierce Bronson couldn't get out of his contract with NBC to play the role the first time he got it.

Daniel is contracted for one more movie after Spectre. My guess he calls it a day after that movie and we will be looking at a new Bond in 5 to 7 years.

Here's a screen test for James Brolin as James Bond. Never knew he was in contention.

Here's a fight scene:

Here's one screentest with Sam Neil. He was in contention for "The Living Daylights".

Losers shouldn't win the MVP but is has happened once in the NBA.

http://www.sportingnews.com/nba/story/2015-06-16/nba-finals-mvp-lebron-james-losing-team-cavaliers-vs-warriors-steph-curry

Looks like Jerry West won it in 1969 while the Lakers lost to the Celtics.

Cowboys Linebacker Chuck Howley won it in 1971 when the Colts beat the Boys. So, it has happened once in the NFL.

Lebron is now 2-4 in NBA Finals.    His legacy is dinged a little:  http://ftw.usatoday.com/2015/06/lebron-james-legacy-loser-nba-finals-two-titles-mvp

2000,

You've been suckered by a satire site.

They have a funny feature, on their site. Near the top of the page, there's a button labeled "show facts". Click it, and it will highlight the parts of their article that are actually true.

Damn.  Though, knowing how crazy the religious right can  be; maybe some believe that.   Well how about this one:

The show doesn't start until the 2016, I think as as Midseason replacement.

Already have groups protesting this show and asking it be removed:

I say, bring it on.  If it's good, then it will have a long run. It it sucks; then it will dissappear quickly.  Let the people decide.

I saw "Spy" today and it gets a B.  Surprisenly, it was pretty good.

Well, they did sort of leave it open where they could have another inevitable sequal. 

Just came from seeing Jurassic World.  It gets an A.

This is a true sequel to the original movie and there are

.  This is what the other sequels should've been.  Definitely an entertaining movie.

The Judge.

The dynamic between Downey Jr. and Duvall is incredible. The story of a family from a small town that comes together in their greatest time of need. A moving film. Give it a shot.

I liked that move.

Here's a new extended TV trailer for Spectre.

If you want to appear in the new movie: Star Trek Beyond; apply above.

Looks like they will start filming in a little over 2 weeks.  I don't think I care for the title.  At least they are finally, going on their 5 year mission.

This is gonna be hard seeing the original cast die off; they're all getting up there in age.

I wish I didn't miss George Takei when he was doing something at George Mason.

I think they are all either in their 70's or 80's.  So, you know they won't be around much longer.

I know Walter and Nichelle are going to be in Miami at the end of June; though Nichelle will probably have to cancel due to her stroke.

I think I met James Doonan at Trek convention once.  I saw Shatner at a Trek Convention in Raleign, NC once. 

I recommend Arrested Development.  Good news on that front, there will be a Season 5.
