George Takei To Play Star Trek's Sulu Again

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the back-in-the-saddle dept.

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."

    Hmm...so, with Sulu coming back, will we now have to suffer through the first futuristic, homosexual liplock?

    Pavel better be careful not to get stuck in the airlock alone with Sulu, now that he's out of the closet...

    Oh come on, if you go on Howard Stern and you don't expect to answer those kind of questions, well, you've never listened to Howard Stern before :P 50% of his guests are strippers who he has on the show pretty much just to watch them have sex in his studio. He's a dirty old man, though that's a large part of his appeal.
