It’s incredibly simple, and yet still kind of wonderful. It’s a handmade working Star Trek clock from Etsy seller YOUgNeek, and I have to admit that I kind of want one right now. The clocks – called “We Need More Time Captain” and now being made to order, after the originals sold out – are…

If you’re a fan of both Lost and Star Trek (like we are), you’ll find this action figure mashup to be both well done and entertaining. What really sold us is that the creators knew the guy who played Locke (Terry O’Quinn) also played Admiral Pressman in TNG. [The Fine Brothers – Thanks Ray!]
