I have always been a Star Trek fan. I stated watching in 1966 when it first came out and have watched every episode of every spin off and every movie.
When Star Trek: The Next Generation came out, I was dubious. I did not like the idea that someone was continuing the series.
I soon found out "The Next Generation" was a well done show and added to the original series. When the movies came out, naturally I watched.
The absolute best show (movie) of any in the Star Trek series was First Contact. Below is a clip from the first warp drive engine flight. I love the way Zefram Cochrane blasts "Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" as he is blasting off.
The rock and roll of my youth (60s and 70s) will last forever. Now sit back and enjoy.

Khan-Mr. Roarke Dead at 88
Ricardo Montalban, the suave leading man who was one of the first Mexican-born actors to make it big in Hollywood and who was best known for his role as Mr. Roarke on ABC's "Fantasy Island," has died. He was 88.
Montalban died Wednesday morning at his Los Angeles home of complications related to old age, said his son-in-law, Gilbert Smith.
In my humble opinion, the best role Montalban ever played was that of Khan Noonien Singh in both the 1967 "Space Seed" episode of the first season of the original Star Trek series, and the 1982 film Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan. Agreed to reprise his role of Khan in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan for only $100,000 because he loved the role so much.
He was a great actor from a great generation that will be missed.

"To the last, I will grapple with thee... from Hell's heart, I stab at thee! For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee!" - Khan quoting from Melville's Moby Dick as he activated the Genesis device in Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan

What an awful story? What kind of kids would do such a horrible thing? Evidently some that haven't had their behinds paddled in quite a while - if ever. That is what is wrong with society. Parents are too busy and don't bother to correct their kids or teach them manners.
These kids need to be taken away from their parents, who should have to pay financial restitution to the family, and the ratfink kids need to be locked up. How would these kids feel if someone did that to their pet? They should not be left off because they are probably juveniles, but need to pay for their actions. I feel so sorry for the other family and the mare that lost her filly. God bless them all.

Someone needs to find these punks and beat the living **** out of them as well as the parents who raised them to be such losers.
I have my own personal view of this.
NAIL THEIR LITTLE ASSES TO THE WALL. THEN NAIL THE ASSES OF THEIR PARENTS RIGHT NEXT TO THEM.
