STAR TREK RETURNS TO TV ON SNL

In an apparent effort to win back aging Star Trek fans who may have been offended by the current marketing campaign for the movie ("This is not your father's Star Trek ") Paramount included Leonard Nimoy among the cast members who appeared on a Saturday Night Live "Weekend Update" over the weekend. "I've spent many years of my life among Trekkies -- er, Trekkers," Nimoy said to Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto who play Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock in the new film. For them not to like the new film, he said, "would make them dickheads." But Pine said that he had been receiving angry calls in the middle of the night. "At least I think they're angry. I can't understand them. They're either speaking Vulcan or Hebrew."
