The Star Trek XI Gag Reel

By Lev Grossman on October 13, 2009

I'm just one of those people for whom gag reels are automatically funny:

Update: it was good while it lasted.


My favorite take is at 3:18. Good thing he had that helmet on. But see also 3:30, where Eric Bana is trying to feed his prisoner the brain slug (or whatever it is). Chuckles.

p.s. Obsessively observant Nerd Worlders will note our shiny new rebuilt tagging structure. A harbinger of more changes to come? Perhaps.

  4. What is the over/under on Lev being a secret BSG fan who does this just to piss us off?

  5. @13enster, I think it's even money at this point.

  6. I think it's much better than even money- it's a virtual certainty that Lev is f*cking with us and has been for some time. My 2 cents @ comment 3: http://nerdworld.blogs.time.com/2009/09/18/things-im-trying-not-to-do-wurdle/

    @Lev- "harbinger" is passé, you should say that it is "the shape of things to come".

  7. He's going to make some nonchalant post about how the final five caught him off guard, or how he was seeing it all along.

  8. Unless, of course, it's "harbinger of death."

    Yeah, he's fraking with us.
