Icon's Story

Now playing: Bill Whelan - Andalucia

So Star Trek is corny. So what?

Or it's corny this year, anyway.  From Reuters:

A British fan of the cult TV show "Star Trek" has boldly gone where no man has gone before and created a giant maize maze dedicated to the program.

 ...I foresee many, many such strange things happening this year to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Trek. (Such as the last of the Rihannsu books coming out.) 

Now playing: Christopher Cross - Ride Like The Wind

More information I wasn't expecting

No sooner do I find out that they did a fifth season of the animated Teen Titans -- which our SkyPlus box seems to hate, as it keeps dropping scheduled recordings -- but now this:

Looks like there's an anime version of the Powerpuff Girls. (Henshin sequence here on an episode guide page.)

...I confess I kind of like Buttercup's giant hammer.  (But then I've always been more simpatico with Buttercup:  our management styles are similar.) Bubbles' giant bubble-blowing thing is predictable: not sure what to make of Blossom's magic yoyo.
