Star Trek Movie Footage.

For those of you not in the know: JJ Abrams, creator of modern-day serial masterpieces Lost and Fringe, is releasing a prequel to Star Trek in May 2009. Early on I heard Winona Ryder was cast as Spock's mom, but that's nothing on this still curiouser discovery: Sylar, my favourite unhinged Heroes sometimes-villain, is young Spock.

What am I even supposed to do with that information?! 

Comforting FYI: Leonard Nimoy will reprise his role as old Spock. He also did the "Space: the final frontier" voiceover in the trailer (available on the website, linked above, or at the BBC, linked below).

Reprieve for Prime Geekage

Slated for summer '09, by the creators of Lost! The comm badges look so much sexier now. And Winona Ryder is involved for reasons I don't exactly understand. (Oh my God. Just read up. She's SPOCK'S MOM?! Weirder still: Eric Bana is a villain?)

Benj: "You know who says 'Space: the final frontier' in the trailer? Do you know? Do you know? It's SPOCK."

I got chills.
