Prim Sulu has become a barbarian.

With flowing hair and leather clothes, George Takei agreed to age 30 years for an Internet download episode of "Star Trek." The 50-minute production is being filmed at an old car dealership in the Adirondacks in New York.

The new episode, "World Enough and Time," has Sulu being unexpectedly transported. "I find myself on another alien planet. I live 30 years of my life there. I have a child," Takei said.

Then he returns to the starship Enterprise.

"It turns out to be only a minute or two that's passed on the Enterprise."
