* Here's the Star Trek Into Darkness Superbowl commercial. Paramount supposedly paid nearly 4 mil to run this during "The Big Game." New, I think, is the Kirk "Who the hell are you?" exchange with the character played by Benedict Cumberbatch, who as you probably already know is Gary Mitchell, Khan, Robert April, or somebody. There's also some new shots of the ship apparently falling out of orbit. You have to hand it to Paramount, they certainly have kept Cumberbatch's character's true identity a secret for many months now while continuing to build excitement and anticipation for the new movie, which is out in theaters in May.
* Here's the trailer for Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 3 on Blu-ray. I haven't been buying these sets, but would be first in line for a best-of-TNG set that includes all the best episodes from all seven seasons.
* We got a Roku box a few weeks ago and I've been occasionally dipping into the vast storehouse of Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes on Hulu Plus. I watched "The Lower Decks" yesterday and was impressed by how well it was written and performed. Then at dinner, my son Aaron got off his X-Box long enough to watch "Rascals" with me. He got a huge grin out of the scene where 12-year-old Picard hugs Riker and calls him "Dad." A terrifically entertaining episode, directed by Leonard Nimoy's son Adam.
