MOVIE
The next in the Star Trek series franchise, Legion offers up some great new charactes played by some great old actors. The powers that be have decided to place less importance on continuity, in fact they've disregarded Star Trek mythology completely, in hopes of bringing the franchise back into popularity. Legion takes place in an alternate dimension where the Klingons, the Borg, the Bajorans, every race known in the Star Trek universe, save humans, do not exist. There is no Federation and no Starfleet, only a military space agency that is waging war against France. In the Legion pilot, the agency creates an ultimate cyborg soldier and decides to test it using dispensible human soldiers, soldiers played by $cientologist victim Parker "Probe" Stevens, Terry Farrell, Rick Springfield, Troy Donahue, and Corey Feldman. As usual, the team splits up to find the super soldier ensuring their deaths, which occur like clockwork every 20 minutes. Of course, Terry and Parker, the two "stars" of the series get smart and stick together by having a steamy and passionate ear nibbling tryst. They find the super solider, played by Tiny Lister, sitting in a corner sobbing about all the death. Taking no pity and calling for vengeance, Parker and Terry destroy the cyborg soldier using their version of the Care Bear stare. It's really a series finale as much as it is a pilot. Alos, Chase Masterson makes a special appearance as Corey Feldman's acid lactating breasts.
