Life Trek – Star Trek turns 45 today
It’s hard to believe that Star Trek is 45 years old. Looking back at everything that’s influenced me over the years in a creative sense, it was Star Trek more than anything that drove me as far back as I can remember.

Boldy Going Back?
News is spreading that CBS may finally be creating HD versions of the Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes. Here’s the relevant info from Digital Bits:
Multiple sources I spoke with at Comic-Con have also confirmed our report from earlier this year that CBS is hard at work on Star Trek: The Next Generation – Remastered for Blu-ray release starting sometime in 2012. The latest word is that 4 test episodes are currently being worked on for release as a sampler/demo BD disc of the project, and that sampler disc will somehow be available to fans by the end of this year.
Since the original Star Trek series was remastered and revamped a few years ago, there has been a clamor for CBS to give the same treatment to The Next Generation. One of the biggest hurdles in getting TNG the HD upgrade has been the fact that although the series was shot in 35mm, the special effects were done on video – and there is no way to upgrade video once it is rendered to tape. Since classic Trek’s remaster saw the series get all new digital effects, replacing the old shots, the question now is will TNG get the same? Seems to me if CBS is announcing some test episodes, they’ve decided to do just that, and we’ll see all-new digital shots of the Enterprise-D, and other Next-Gen ships, anamolies, spacial rifts, and more.

Episode 57: Lowatus of Borg
Geekistry returns from a four month hiatus with new co-host Bryce Erwin from Taverncast. For new listeners we define what the show is about so that people aren’t mistaking us for a knitting podcast.
We have a new segment called Geekiversary which we take a special release from the past and discuss what it meant to us over time. This show’s Geekiversary is Aliens, released in July of 1986.
Another new segment is called The Ring where two classic topics clash. For our first battle we do the classic Star Trek vs. Star Wars. Who will win?
We tackle one of the biggest geek parent issues of our time: do you show your kids IV-VI first, or I-VI all the way through?
