I’d love to hear what you think of the Internet’s strangest and geekiest moments in
this week’s “Geek Bits.”

Poll

This
week’s poll question is about National Donut Day which happens every year on the first Friday of June.
Randy’s Donuts is a landmark donut shop in Inglewood, California, near Los Angeles International Airport. Director Jon Favreau said Randy’s Donuts was the perfect place for Tony Stark to recover from his hangover. “The
idea was, ‘What’s this guy like the morning after?’ ‘Where would this
guy go if he had a hangover?’ And then the answer we came up with was
‘He would go to Randy’s Donuts.’ “

 Which is your favorite donut scene
in a movie and why? Let us know in the comments!

Star Trek: The Animated Series – “The Slaver Weapon” (01×14) – Recommended

Official synopsis: Spock, Sulu and Uhura are captured by the Kzinti, who are trying to learn the secret of an ancient weapon.

This
episode is written by the great science fiction writer Larry Niven. He
wrote a short story called “The Soft Weapon” in 1967 about a series of
mysterious boxes left behind by an ancient race that an evil alien race
tries to exploit. They pretty much adapted it completely for the show
using different characters. Spock scientific curiosity for a stasis box
leads the shuttle crew into a trap and it’s wonderful to see him face
his hubris. Since the entire episode focuses on the three characters
they get the rare time to shine. When we watched the episode last week
we got a kick out of it and agreed it’s one worth watching.

If you’re on Twitter next week we’re doing a live Twitter chat of the
next episode “The Eye of the Beholder” on Tuesday, June 9, 2015 at 5:00 PM
EDT. You can watch it on Hulu or Netflix. Join us!
