The Klingon Hamlet

Yes, William Shatner is there, and yes, there is a film crew, but the whole thing wasn’t for a movie, but for a “reality” show on what it’s like when a Hollywood film crew descends on a tiny Midwestern town.

I feel kind of bad for the town. Great headline for the article, though.
