to boldly go...


happy new year! i thought it would be appropriate to start the year 2010 out with a little 70's tribute to star trek as we find ourselves now firmly rooted in the 21st century. if you saw the new star trek film you're already aware that all the old familiar characters now reside in a new parallel reality. and it's in that same vein that you'll find this story. there's a chekov knockoff called mr. connors, lt. uhura is white and sulu is black!
and although they didn't secure any of the original cast to voice this record, the three main characters are pretty competent. the kirk actor is definitely shatneresque, spock is shakepearianly stoic and the guy who voices mc coy is hilarious.
from 1975 power records, here is star trek: the crier in emptiness. a read along book and 45. so grab your phaser, don't forget to turn the page when you hear the bell and prepare to beam aboard here.
