Hi there! I’m Jess, your BloggingStarTrek.net Internet Agent-at-Large. Now, let’s ignore for a second that “at-Large” usually means “not really employed by us anymore, we’re just saving face here” and face facts. I consume a massive amount of internet media on a daily basis. Some of this media is related to Star Trek, and it’s always a joy when it is. So I am going to bring that to you. No more furtive “What is up with Zachary Quinto’s eyebrows, really” Google searches , no more quietly trolling Keegan De Lancie’s Facebook page for photos of him on a sailing trip with his dad. (What, you don’t do this? He accidentally friended me years ago and I, uh. I sneak peeks once in a while.) I shall bring it all to you, o sweet, sweet readers.
So that you know you can trust me, and I will not break your hearts like Vash, let me present my credentials. Here are some things that make me very happy:
Most things George-Takei-related. Just think of it this way…
Drew:O’Brien::Jess:Sulu
(The colons are flower units.)
Yes, I admit it, I read Wil Wheaton’s blog. Here is the thing, it is not awful! You get videos of him playing Rock Band, stories about his kids, D&D commentary from a dude who is probably too old to be playing D&D, occasional rants about being seen only as Wesley Crusher, and in general a portrait of a gentleman who is simultaneously incredibly normal and incredibly not. It’s a semi-uncomfortable thrill ride! Also, I always liked Wesley, shut up Ellen.
and lastly, the sweetest face one could ask to look upon…
You thought I was kidding about the Facebook lurking, didn’t you.
Please don’t sue me, Mr. DeLancie, I love you just a little too much.
To further build my impeccable (I’m sure) Trek cred, here is something that makes me very unhappy:
Are they confused about something? Doesn’t everyone know that Bones is the third cat? He doesn’t belong there on the side sandwiched between Takes Her Shirt Off-hura and Cheerful Wet Guy-otty! Oh Bones, the hip young crowd will never understand your salty, unpleasant charm, but you will always have my heart.
All right, that’s all for now, kiddies. I’ll be back once a week to bring you the Trek cream of the internet, and a bit of the sludge too. Next time, maybe I’ll tell you who the Ancient Enemy in Star Trek Online will be. Ooooooh, creepy.
Til then, friends…
SPOCK SMASH
