The geek fest continues

Not to be confused with Star Wars, Star Trek comes to theaters on Friday. It could be worse. Atleast the boys are pretty. See the new Spock and Captain Kirk below.

Fans of either (or both) media empires will be quick to tell you they are NOT the same thing. There are books published about this sorta thing. But if you need a quick crib sheet, here you go:


Star Trek
