You can't stop the Nerd-dom!

Lileks ruminates on the Star Trek finale today. An excerpt:

(Interesting how they didn’t show the 1701-E, perhaps because the design wasn’t really beloved; it owes too much to the Voyager-class shoehorn look, and the notch on the nacelles looks distinctly unFederation-like. And yes, I just crossed over into the land of unredeemable dorkheadedness, but I’m past caring.) I’ve always liked the design of the “Enterprise” Enterprise. The 1701-D looks computer generated. But the original ship, the Constitution class – that’s the one that still has a hook in your heart. Maybe because it was actually real.

Click the links, people, they're not just there for show.

In honor of the week between the Star Trek - Enterprise finale (which I haven't watched yet) and the opening of Star Wars - Revenge of the Sith, I hereby declare Grandpa John's to be Nerd Central.

Regular visitors will notice very little change.
