Star Trek on the Big Screen... in November!

This news is a little old, but - despite my lack of suitable blog access for a couple weeks there - I still feel it merits a post....

To promote the insanely overpriced release of the first season of the original Star Trek, Paramount will screen the two-part episode The Menagerie in theatres around the country on November 13 and 15. (How one of these theatres is not in San Francisco boggles my mind. I'll be going to nearby Emeryville.) To see if you're anywhere near one of these theatres and to buy tickets if you are, click here. If you're only a casual fan of the series and would like to know what all the hubbub is about, click here.

Honestly, this is a bit of a geek thrill. It'll be very interesting to see classic moments from an episode I and others originally watched 30-40 years ago on the big screen - and with an audience of like-minded folk. Seems an opportunity unlikely to pass this way again any time in the near future.

Until, of course, Paramount sees fit to release season two....
