As I’ve gotten older, and further and further away from a nine year old’s first impression, which found it sorely lacking in laser battles and Wookies, I’ve come to appreciate Robert Wise’s Star Trek the Motion Picture for what it was instead of what it wasn’t.
Way back in June of 2010, the fine folk behind the magnificent She Blogged by Night held The Shatnerthon!, a tribute to the great William Tiberius Shatner. Scenes from the Morgue heeded the call and participated back then, and now, to celebrate Wild Bill’s birthday this weekend, it was high time we migrated those ads over to the new site plus a few more treats mixed in. Enjoy.
