The epic saga of What's in Spock's Scanner, which began here and continued here, finally wraps up the way we knew it must -- with drunken debauchery, attempted drug use, needless violence, and possible date rape. And bollocks. And farting. And someone finally saying something. Look, I know the video is 11 minutes long, but I swear to god the entire thing is worth is just for the transporter noise at 8:23. I still haven't stopped laughing.

Specifically, the Next Generation, represented by Captain Jean-Luc Picard, and the Star Wars prequel generation, represented by Qui-Gon Jinn. Sir Patrick Stewart and Liam Neeson were on the Graham Norton Show together, when Norton decided to settle the eternal debate of which franchise is better by comparing the two actors' toys. This video is awesome for two reasons: 1) I had forgotten how ridiculous those old Episode 1 banks looked when they weren't all paired together. Qui-Gon was supposed to be placed next to an Obi-Wan and a Darth Maul bank, so they could "fight." Without his partners, Qui-Gon looks like he's having an episode of the DTs. 2) Stewart actually facepalms. Hell, he headpalms. It's divine. (Via The Mary Sue)

FYI, the only DVD of note coming out today is Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1, which I only mention for Rifftrax purposes. Hopefully DVD Day will be back next week, assuming next week doesn't also suck ass.

​Ready to talk about important people talking about important things but not actually doing them? Well, get this:

• Bryan Fuller and Bryan Singer told AICN that they've been talking together about making a new Star Trek TV show.
• Twitch has heard from its sources that Harrison Ford is in very preliminary talks to do Blade Runner 2.

Now, before either of these items get your underoos in a twist, please remember neither of these projects are even close to happening. The Bryans haven't talked to a network, and a network hasn't ordered a pilot. No one's greenlit Blade Runner 2, there are no contracts or anything, and we don't even know if Ford said yes -- Ridley Scott and him had coffee together. That's all

There are a few reasons why these non-news items are notable, though; first, Bryan Fuller is awesome, and Bryan Singer isn't bad, and if anyone was going to make a new Trek series I'd think that would be a pretty solid team. As for Blade Runner, well, Twitch is infinitely more trustworthy than those ComicBookMovieBasedonaComicBoo.co.au sites, plus, if there is another Blade Runner movie, Ford being in it would indicate it's a sequel, not a prequel or a reboot, which would be the lesser of the three evils. I'd just as soon have nothing, but leaving incredible, classic genre movies alone is clearly an impossibility at this point.

​In slightly less divisive news, Deadline reports that Stephen Amell -- of HBO's Hung and Da' Kink in My Hair (seriously! It's on his IMDB! He was apparently on it for three years!) and a bunch of not particularly notable guest spots -- has been cast as everyone's favorite comic book archer who isn't Hawkeye in The CW's Green Arrow series. Please note this is still only a pilot, though, and there's no telling whether the show will get picked up; it could get tanked like Aquaman (pun very much intended). Thanks to Steven D. for the tip.

Hey, even Time Lords need a vacation now and again, and what's better than getting together with people you love and having a pizza party in the park? Having a pizza party in the party with booze, obviously, but it's still nice to see 10 of 11 Doctors partying together. I'm not sure why they didn't invite the First Doctor (I know why he wasn't included in the video, as he explains at the end) but I'd like to think that William Hartnell is the creepy uncle of the Doctor family and no one wants him around because he keeps patting all the hot companions on the ass.

Since we've discussed the state of The Walking Dead ad nauseum at this point, let's get right to discussing this lengthy clip:
• In a word, "Awkward!"
• Man, neither of those two actresses can fake cry worth a damn.
• Say what you will, but that's one solid zombie death right there.

In other news, the WD producers are reportedly trying to get the fantastic John Hawkes of Deadwood fame (among many, many other fine performances) as The Governor, a character who I know almost nothing about except that he's possibly not the nicest guy in the series. Seriously, John Hawkes is one of those actors so fantastic, yet so understated, he instantly improves anything he's on, so this rumor makes me exceedingly excited. I can't imagine Hawkes not being suitable for a role, but if anyone who knows both Hawkes and The Walking Dead comics wants to comment, I'd be interested to hear it. (Via Blastr and MovieWeb)

Not a production video! Not a behind-the-scenes snippet! No, it's an actual, real, honest-to-the-Old Gods promo for Game of Thrones season 2, and it is fucking fantastic. So many badasses, packed into a single minute. Better (if extremely brief) looks at Stannis and Melisandre. And Joffrey being an enormous twatwaffle. Man, that kid who plays Joffrey is so fantastically douchey it's mind-blowing. How does he do it? I almost feel bad for the kid, because he's so perfect as Joffrey he's going to be typecast as a slimeball for the rest of his life. Plus, if I ever saw him on the street, I'd punch him right in his face. That's how good of an actor he is! It's actually a compliment that I want to cause him harm!

Unlike some, I'm damned excited about part two of season two of Walking Dead coming out next month, so I really didn't need an exciting, action-packed trailer for it, full of guns, running ,car wrecks, fighting, yelling, stern looks and other shit. I certainly don't mind it, though. My only wish at this point is that Rick's "WE ALL KNOW THIS IS NOT GONNA END WELL" run at the end of every single Walking Dead commercial, promo, and everything else. It's just too perfect.

​After five years, the nerd/spy comedy Chuck is finally coming to an end tonight, having unofficially earned the title "Geekiest Show on Television." Not only are their series regulars a who's who of sci-fi -- aside from star Adam Baldwin (Firefly), the show has featured Linda Hamilton (Terminator), Timothy Dalton (Rocketeer), Brandon Routh (Scott Pilgrim), Scott Bakula (Quantum Leap) and Carrie-Anne Moss (The Matrix) -- their guest stars frequently drew from the casts of the very TV shows and movies that the main characters grew up watching. These are 10 of the show's geekiest guest stars (pro wrestlers not included. On purpose).More >>

I'd like to enter a new contestant for Queen of the Nerds; meet Sillysparrowness, who built her own TARDIS. Now the fact that she built a TARDIS is not why I think she'd make a fine nerd queen, at least not exactly. Here's why she gets my vote:
• She made an incredibly awesome TARDIS
• She made an awesome TARDIS that's both easily constructable and totally portable
• She made this video documenting her making of said TARDIS
• The video is funny, adorable, and extremely well-edited
• SillySparrowness herself is funny, adorable, and if not well-edited, she's still incredibly clever and immensely talented Seriously, even you guys who aren't into Doctor Who should give this a watch, because this lady is absolutely delightful, and so is her video. Infinite thanks to my friend Mel for the tip; now if you'll excuse me, I need to go swoon for a bit.
