I suppose my topic line should have said "fanfic + LARP + disposable income + newly affordable digital technologies = craptacular new webshow!"
I honestly don't know how it is they're not getting their pants sued off. I didn't see any official Paramountness happening.
But they've got George Takei and Walter Koening!
And yeah, the nice thing about being a geek --especially a moderate geek like me--is there's always another geek somewhere you can look down your nose at. Or to paraphrase Qui-gon..."there's always a dorkier fish. Usually it's a goth, but not every time."
Snerk. I know, stones, glass houses, charred kettle, all that.
However.
I looked at that letter from George Takei and it seemed unbearably sad to me. Like paying the "crew" of the NSEA Protector to play your kid's bar mitzvah.
Shit, now I'm overcome with images of Jason Taggart singing Hava Nagilah.

They're not even inventing new characters? They're playing the original ones? Like some giant, overbudgeted, live-action RPG? So earnestly?
My god. Nothing I have seen or heard in the last month has made me feel this good about my level of geekitude.
No, really. WHAT THE LIVING FUCK.
