I always wandered how creative humans can be. It is always surprising how simple, everyday items can be turned into great stuff. Alex Wer aka "The Pumpkin Geek" carves pumpkins for instance. The reason why I'm writing about it is that they simply look astonishing and that they are Star Trek related. As I can see, he is a great Star Trek fan and had great time at Star Trek Las Vegas Con '09. If you check his website, you can see nice pictures of pumpkins over there! I was trully amazed.
Fan part is to see in his event section Zachary Quinto, Johnatan Frakes or Rene Auberjonois standing next to the pumpkin with their carving on them! Looks really nice and funny. I bet they laughed a lot later about it. To cut it short, if you click on web site tumbnail, you'll get to see gallery of Star Trek motives, and if you check "Event" section you'll get to see Star Trek actors standing next to - you get it right - pumpkins!
Imagine what would happen if Ferengi would get a grasp on one of these and put them into replicator software! Massive sales of Star Trek pumpkins instead of DVDs or Blu Rays... Too bad I didn't know for this before Halloween this year.. :-(
There is also part with Star Trek Women characters and they look realy nice. Actually, pumpkin carvings remind me on that old style photos (the brownish ones). I wander only what will come next....
I can only imagine how would it look like to see entire movie on pumpkins instead on DVDs... Imagine, hundreds of pumpkins with movie scenes in a gallery! That would be something awesome, but I cannot imagine how much work would be involved... I bet, it would take years to do it.

T'Pol, Vulcan girl would be my bet if you are interested in Enterprise - Star Trek casting crew! Aboard USS Enterprise she was scientific adviser and first officer. One of her personal quotes: "Spock was the sex symbol. A lot of people think it was Kirk. But, no, it was really Spock."
Her Earth name is Jolene K. Blalock (Scottish derivation of Black Loch, meaning "Black Lake"). She was born San Diego, California on March 5th 1975. She has a carrier as model and actor. Currently married to Michael Rapino with whom she lives in Los Angeles.
I found some Jolene Blalock pictures (posters) that you may find interesting. See them here!
Seriously, acting:
- USS Enterprise (yeah, the ship itself, designated NX-01 to show it's experimental nature.)
- Captain Jonathan Archer (Scott Bakula) - Honestly, in first episodes of the show, Captain seemed like he was confused and lost, but later became more leadership prone. He was in personal connection with Enterprise, for his father designed the engine. Later conflict with Xindi put quite lot strain on him.
- T'Pol (Jolene Blalock) - What to say than apart from being smart, Vulcan look really hot! Joke, she was in role of special adviser and first officer... Cool, huh?
- Commander Tucker (Connor Trinneer) - Trip, he is Trip! He's combo of McCoy and Scotty - in one person! Sharing great deal of humor and brilliancy, made himself irresistible even to a T'Pol...
- Lt. Commander Reed (Dominic Keating) - Red Alert on starships should have been named after him,. so we would have Reed Alert, but history was unfair.... It was logical idea for security officer on board after all. He and Trip in combination made some of funniest episodes ever... Like two boys playing on their own playground.
- Dr. Phlox (John Billingsley) I wonder, why doctors in Star Trek play the Jokers role? Is it because they have to be weird, or is it because they are isolated... in sickbay?
- Lt. Mayweather (A.T. Montgomery) - Experience is good prerequisite for navigating distant stars... So, he was first helmsman on board.
- Ensign Sato (Linda Park) - Who would be better for role of communicator than real life multilingual person? She does know several languages... After all, somone had to understand languages before Universal translator became possible...
