George Takei To Play Star Trek's Sulu Again
Tycoon Guy writes "TrekToday reports that George Takei has agreed to play Hikaru Sulu in an upcoming episode of the fan series Star Trek: New Voyages. He's the second actor from the original Star Trek series to come onboard; another episode will feature Walter Koenig as Pavel Chekov. And here's what really makes this news great: Takei's episode will be written by none other than David Gerrold, the SF writer who also brought us Star Trek's Tribbles."
The Final Fun Queer!
Sorry, that's bad. But I couldn't help meself.
I'll get me coat.
I've got terrible images of the Enterprise causing multiple pile-up driving at half the speed limit the wrong way down a space-highrway, as Sulu misses the one way signs due to his cataracts ...
A gay man... acting?
I mean, ya, so what if the gay actor stereotype has been around since man invented fire... Star Trek was the first show to beam a gay man.

Tell ME about it.
There are no loopholes. It's either legal or it's not.
Shatner said this on Jimmy Kimmel's show (which is why nobody heard it) when asked if he had known, back in the '60s, that Takei was gay:
"Of course I knew... he kept setting his phaser on fabulous!"
He was also very forthright and VERY open about his personal life.
You mean like when he said that he swallows on the Howard Stern show? Yeah, I'd call that forthright.
I don't respond to AC's.
When Roddenberry died, the franchise lost its soul, and became an imitation of itself.
Oh, hell, here I was warming up for a good old fashioned Kirk vs. Picard/ST:TOS vs. ST:TNG flamewar, sharpening the standard set of knives, but my boss just e.mailed me that he needs the project summary reports and '06 projections by 4:00 today, rather than next Thursday, so I just don't have time for it today. Too bad... that argument is always fun.
Slashdot editors, could you please repost this story on Monday, so we can have this argument next week? Thanks.

Don't you hate TPS reports?
