Sexy Jihad

It appears that Star Trek nerds can now lick their lips in anticipation, as the ULTIMATE boxed set has now been released:

Here’s the ultimate collection for the ultimate fan. This 212-disc behemoth encompasses five broadcast series and 10 feature films and is, with a few exceptions, all the Trek a Trekker could want. Start with the original series, which in 1966 set out to boldly go where no series had gone before, beginning a three-year mission that led to a franchise that would last decades. The original Enterprise crew was led by Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and included first mate and science officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy), medical officer “Bones” McCoy (DeForrest Kelley), and Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott (James Doohan). The show lasted a mere three seasons, but devoted fans and syndication kept the franchise alive til its first feature film, Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979).

Fan response to the leaden-paced adventure was tepid, leading to the “even number rule”: only even-numbered Star Trek movies were considered good. That certainly applied to the second and best in the series, The Wrath of Khan (1982); the fourth, The Voyage Home (1986), which was the best-received among the general public; the sixth, The Undiscovered Country (1991), which was the last to feature the original crew; and the eighth, the action-packed First Contact (1994). Reviews were decidedly mixed on whether the tenth, Nemesis (2002), broke the rule, but it’s far from the worst in the series. Odd-numbered films were the somewhat cheesy Search for Spock (1984), which many fans like for its integrity to the original series; the forgettable Final Frontier (1989); Generations (1991), which was the first Next Generation film but also served to bridge the gap between crews; and the lackluster Insurrection (1998). Most of the feature films were released early in the DVD era, but are represented here in their vastly improved two-disc special editions, which boast widescreen anamorphic pictures, numerous commentary tracks by cast and crew, humorous and informative trivia subtitle tracks by Michael and Denise Okuda, and a wide variety of new and vintage documentaries and galleries.

Oh my god, I think I just had a random erection! This is just too much bliss. The minus side of this is of course the hefty price tag ($2499.99). But if you’re a hard core trekkie you just have to have this
