FYI: Article starts with loosely related Jusitn Bieber rant.

I’m sorry but if you like Justin Bieber then you’re an asshole. I hate him and you should too. Not just because it’s the culturally thing to do, but because he’s a gay little-boy, studio whore. His factory made music and music like his is the reason we can’t have nice things on the radio. Oi, sorry I had to get that out. Slow him down 800 percent however, and maybe, just maybe his music won’t sound like audio diarrhea. In fact, if your into some of that ‘Pure Moods’ shit it might be just the thing to light a candle to when you break out the tissues and a bottle of Astroglide for those special alone times. What am I talking about? I’m referring to when the Internet went crazy over Justin Bieber’s anthem “U Smile” slowed down 800 percent. It was creepy cool, but we didn’t write about it because it wasn’t nerdy enough to acknowledge. But take classic Sci-Fi themes and slow them down in the same manner, and we have nerdy material worth posting.

The masterful minds at i09.com took the effect to the tunes of Battlestar Galactica, Doctor Who, Babylon 5, Buffy, Star Trek, Star Wars and more. As i09 says: “The overall effect of these slowed-down classics is one of spookiness — but they might also recharge your “sense of wonder.” We couldn’t agree more. Ominous, and foreboding, but totally awesome. A neat technique that will elevate your nerdiness in a beyond weird spiritual level. And, that’s without the use of mind altering substances.

We’ve all been part of a fan club at some point in our lives. You all payed to join with the expectation that your hero or heroines would respond to you…the fan. In the case of then 8 year- old Teresa Juniso who back in 1988 sent off $12 to Wil Wheaton’s WILPOWER fanclub and waited. Boy did she wait. She never recieved her membership to Wil’s personal fanclub. 21 years later however, Wil Wheaton himself, star of Star Trek: TNG gave the now 29 year-old Teresa her full membership- along with one of the most sincerest apology letters ever written.

After hearing only last year that his now defunct fan club had crushed a then young fans dreams (monsters!) he somehow found a complete Membershit kit. He then proceeded to send along with the kit, a letter to the then 8 year-old Teresa. The letter included:

Dear 8 year-old Teresa,

I wanted to apologize to you for making you wait so long to get your official WilPower fanclub membership kit. You see, 15 year-old me is very busy with work and school, and the people who were responsible for getting your membership kit mailed back to you must have made a mistake.

It’s been a long time since the fan club did anything, but I’ve enclosed a membership car for you, as well as a wallet photo, and a picture that shows you how much I love Batman (HINTL It’s a lot)

Now that’s a class act from a guy people didn’t even like early on in The Next Generation (see: alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die). It really shows how far some people will go to please a fan, even 21 years later. This must be why he created Wheaton’s law, he follows his own rule “Don’t be a dick”.

OK, the Daleks from Doctor Who are badass. They exterminate anything and everything thats not of their kind. And, those voices of theirs, high pitch, monotone and mechanical. These guys are some scary ass mother fuckers, but GREATEST monsters of Science Fiction?  Well, that’s what a poll from SFX magazine says. 8,000 sci-fi fans took park of survey to determine the best Monsters, Supernatural Beings and Fantasy Creatures as part of the mag’s 200th issue celebration. And, apparently Daleks took the top spot over Star Trek’s Borg, Godzilla and even the Aliens from the Alien films!

Here’s how the results played out:

1. The Daleks (Doctor Who)
2. Lorne (Angel)
3. Aliens (the Alien franchise)
4. Death (Discworld)
5. Gollum (The Lord of the Rings)
6. The Shadows (Babylon 5)
7. Gizmo (Gremlins)
8. The Thing (The Thing)
9. Aslan (The Chronicles of Narnia)
10. Predators (the Predator franchise)
11. The Borg (Star Trek)
12. Pilot (Farscape)
13. The Cybermen (Doctor Who)
14. Godzilla (Godzilla)
15. Ludo (Labyrinth)
16. Pinhead (Hellraiser)
17. Nibbler (Futurama)
18. The Great Dragon (Merlin)
19. Frankenstein’s monster (Frankenstein)
20. Slimer (Ghostbusters)

If I may go out on a limb and say this is the stupiest list ever. OMIGOD is it such an EPIC FAIL!.  Alsan, FAIL. Pilot, FAIL. The Great Dragon, FAIL. None One but two Doctor Who Characters, FAIL. And as much as I love Lorne he’s a FAIL too. Seriously, not one creature from Star Wars made it to the top 20? That in itself makes this an absolutley awful list.

What do you think? Who do you think should have made the the list? Who do you think should not be on the list?

So George Takei isn’t lying. On Howard Stern for the past few years, George has always maintained with absolution that Bill Shatner is a total dick. Now, we have some old footage (not nearly as good as his Rocketman rendition) of Leonard Nimoy’s bike on several occasions being stolen at the hands of Shatner (Shatner!!!!) Hanging it from the rafters, and even putting it in his dressing room with Dobermans…So now we know. When Pee Wee had his bike stolen and the clown had the evil face paint on and laughed maniacally…It was SHATNER.

As you can tell by what I have posted here on Nerdbastards, I love musical mash-ups that take popular songs and place them in a video showcasing clips of a movie or TV show. The latest one making the rounds on the Internet today has become an instant hit by how amazingly the song works with the clips shown.

The song is “Tik Tok” by Ke$ha, and the video is from the original Star Trek series. You get clips from all sorts of classic episodes of Star Trek, as well as little moments for pretty much every main character that was in the show.

Not much more can be said other than: load the video, make it full-screen, pump up the volume … and enjoy!

Take the garage band experience, add some Star Trek, some sex, and some more sex, and you have the ingredients for Warp 11, A Star Trek band from Sacramento, California.

And this isn’t like a bunch of nerds translating “Surfin’ Bird” into Klingon. (”GhajtaH Qoyta’ toQ. toQ toQ toQ, toQ ‘oH mu’. yImev SoH Sov toQ? SovtaH vetlh toQ ‘oH mu’!”) These are funny, mildly dirty songs involving Star Trek.

Check out just a sampling of song titles:

“Replicate My Love”
“Baby Take Me to Your Nuclear Wessel”
“They Put Creatures in Our Bodies”
“Suck My Spock”
“Boldly Go Down on Me”

Ah, but how does it sound? Well, try this on for size:

You’re welcome.

Aliens. We love everything about them in movies. We love the way they look, their origins, their killer instincts and especially their sexual habits. We all want to fuck a green chick from Star Trek, or a Twi’Lek stripper but what about the aliens that procreate that aren’t so pretty? How does the Queen Alien get pregnant to lay chambers full of facehuggers? So it begs the second question in my agenda for our Top 10 List…Who would be the WORST aliens to have sex with in the realm of Sci-Fi film and television? The staggering amount I came up with was extremely fast paced, but to keep it a little simple, I picked most of our favorites, yours and mine, and just as an FYI this is not going to be pretty. Its going to be pretty fucking vulgar.

Please leave some of your biggest fears of who you’d fuck…Or more afraid, to get fucked by! (more…)

Set phasers to stunning! That is the best thing I’ve ever heard. Pre-order yours from Entertainment Earth now. Due out in July, you’ll be crawling with green bitches! Shirtless Kirk will be this summer’s ultimate panty dropper. (Via Topless Robot)

In March, we posted an alphabet that was just pure epic and just last week, we had Wolverine teaching us the ABCs. Now, from the fine folks from Geeks are Sexy (yes, geeks can be sexy), we get there take on the alphabet. From Star Trek to technology to video games and to TV, this alphabet will surely have something to put a smile on your face. Check out the whole alphabet after the jump. Hey, at this rate, just have your kids come to our site to learn their ABCs and more likely their English will be WAYS better than my ESL ass. (more…)

Don’t blow your load trekkies. This isn’t an opportunity to boast your knowledge, the things in here are more so trivial and even I knew half of them. But it’s still pretty awesome to get some fresh info and statistics. Hop on over the jump to see the entire graphic. (more…)
