Star Trek Convention Celebrates The Show's 50th Anniversary (cnet.com)
An anonymous Slashdot reader writes: CNET has a photo gallery with highlights from this year's Star Trek convention, celebrating the show's 50th anniversary. Highlights include a replica of the time portal from Harlan Ellison's City on the Edge of Forever episode, as well as a weird model of the Enterprise made entirely out of balloons. Special guests included former Star Trek actors Jonathan Frakes, Kirstie Alley, Levar Burton, and Whoopi Goldberg. And William Shatner reportedly made "the Captain Kirkiest stage entrance ever made," then talked about everything from Star Wars and The Twilight Zone to Pokemon Go.

CNET should have waited awhile, there's still a few surprises left!
I can't believe Shatner is still alive!
"You're dead, Jim."
slashdot: A failed experiment.
Heh. Just kidding.
She's the character Shahna from the episode "The Gamesters of Triskelion". Google her to see the costume.
You can turn in your nerd card on the way out.
He'll outlive all the original cast.. just you watch!!
Hey, you get 1,000 Quatloos for that post . . . and the tin foil bikini.
And the "training harness".
Best Star Trek episode for making crude drunken dubious jokes EVAR . . .

Ironically, the most likely way for starship captain Shatner to be killed is from being thrown off a horse, as horses are one of his main interests these days.
Not a coincidence at all. Also saw him do it on Boston Legal. (Shatner, not Kirk.)
I saw an interview once where Shatner expressed his equine passion, and how he tries to involve horses in his work.

When my wife told me that the actor that played Chckov had died, I thought she was talking about Walter Koenig. I mentioned that I thought he was one of the younger of the surviving original cast. Then she told me it was Anton Yelchin and my first thought was that Shatner may end up outliving the new cast too.
No kidding. Magnificent Bastard that he is (and that's High Praise coming from me, by the way; it's an exclusive list). Sadly, once Shatner is gone, all we'll have left is the 'artificially Star Trek-flavored' shit they're putting out now; I don't think that George Takei, Nichelle Nichols, and Walter Koenig can carry the torch alone. The Berman era had it's flaws to be sure, but it's not the crap aimed at millennials we're being subjected to now. "Fire everything", indeed.
Are YOU using the TOOL, or is the TOOL using YOU? Think about it!
--Man, she's been missing out all this time. Wonder if she'll be inclined to do more after this.
