TekWar (William Shatner, 1994)

impressed to discover that william shatner's notorious vanity project TekWar is such a cultural nonentity that it has ZERO works on ao3.

Last post of scans from the TV Guide issue from the week of the premiere of Star Trek: Voyager (previous posts here, here, and here). continuing the exploration of the Star Trek Box.

Most of these are miscellaneous Star Trek items from the same issue; only one of them is directly related to the Voyager premiere. Still, I couldn't resist including them.

I didn't watch this PBS special, but I did go to a traveling exhibit that visited the local science museum right about that same time, all about the science of Star Trek. So, maybe the special and the exhibit were produced in conjunction. I'm sick to my stomach all over again at the defunding of PBS.

These are the episodes of The Outer Limits I wrote about in my "Before They Were Star Trek Stars" posts here and here.

I never got around to screencapping Nimoy's 1960 episode of the original Bonanza series for "Before They Were Star Trek Stars."

I remember once my sister and I saw William Shatner promoting this series on a talk show, and he said Greg Evigan's name in a slightly eccentric manner, pronouncing it "Evi-gaahn." And that's how we've pronounced it between ourselves ever since.

Power Rangers: Time Force is kind of the swan song of a particular 1990s grungy cyberpunk sub-aesthetic.

When I was a teen, I read TekWar by William Shatner, his dip into cyberpunk detective fiction. At one point, he described something as a "Plaschair". Which I took to be a portmanteau of "plastic chair", the thing I was sitting in while reading it.

It's been twenty years and that stands out to me as the stupidest bit of future speak I have ever read in sci-fi.
