What IT related blog would be complete with a post on Star Trek? Well, I don't want to dissappoint so here is mine...

I ran across this Slashdot article about a Finnish Star Trek movie. Apparently a bunch of amature actors and students put together a full length Stat Trek spoof called Star Wrek that is now Finnlands most viewed movie. It is a free download an you can get your copy here. The special effects are impressive (better than some of the first movies). NOTE: This is a Finnish movie so you may need to download the version with english subtitles.

I read about these from the December 2005 Wired article. An avid fan of the origional 1969 Star Trek series has decided to pick up where the origional series left off and is making his own episodes. Apparently, Paramount has agreed to look the other way as long as no profit is made from the episodes. So the new episodes are also free. Here is the New Voyages home page.

These are home grown episodes that appear to be in the realm of The Next Generation. I downloaded a few of these for grins and they are not terrible. Get your free eipsodes here.

Lastly, for more Star Trek information than you can shake a stick at (including other fan productions) out check out this Wikipedia article.
