I liked him in the role, he really made that character such an ass.

Books, I believe.
Internet based fan productions actually. You were close :lol: I've actually watched "Of Gods and Men" it's pretty good. It involved Charlie X and an alternate reality (not the traditional mirror universe) and stars a whole host of Trek actors. Capt. Harriman, Nichelle Nichols, Walter Koenig, guy who plays Martok, guy who plays Soval, Ethan Philips, Cirroc Loften, the guy who played Charlie X and the guy who played Gary Mitchell (i think). It was quite good, and quite well done in my opinon.

The New Voyages is a TOS Fan production which from what I understand, started out with the premise "What did the final two years of the Enterprise's 5yr mission look like?" and went from there.

Jack O'Neill wanted to call the Prometheus "Enterprise".

Bester was my favorite B5 character. I giggled like a little girl anytime he was in an episode.

B5 was probably the only realistic depiction of dealing with telepaths I've seen so far as well.

Did you know that Levar Burton was a smoker? (he's given up for a few months now!)

By the by, did you know you can follow Levar Burton, Wil Wheaton and Brent Spiner (probably many others) on Twitter?

Here's a picture of Wheaton with the tag:

"I find your lack of faith in the Rikerosity of my beard disturbing, Internet, and look upon you thusly: http://is.gd/22Uxh"

the women are mighty fine.

It's pretty good, if the excerpts posted on SDN are anything to go by - his reviews of the early TNG episodes are as good as Chuck Sonnenburg's.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

Yeah, from what I've heard he has much the same opinion of his character that we have.

Is this the one you're referring to?

EDIT:

Probably this one actually?
