News Around the Net!
WOW — Vince Gilligan is reportedly working on a Breaking Bad movie?! And it will apparently be set after the events of the series, telling the story of Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul)’s life after escaping from the Neo-Nazis in the series finale?! That is huge news. Will
Josh Reviews the Star Trek Short Film “Calypso,” Written by Michael Chabon!
Michael Chabon, author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay, has written a Star Trek short film! It’s called “Calypso,” and I loved it. “Calypso” is the second of four Star Trek shorts, called Short Treks, being released in the lead-up to St
Star Trek: Hearts and Minds
With his novel Hearts and Minds, author Dayton Ward has returned again to the world of From History’s Shadow, his spectacular novel that explored the secret history of aliens on Earth in the twentieth century. I adore that novel, which was a masterpiece of Star Trek continuit
Josh Reviews the First New Star Trek Short: “Runaways”
In the next few months, before the launch of Star Trek: Discovery season two, we’re going to get four new “Short Treks,” Star Trek short films. I love this idea. The people currently running CBS and Trek these days have made a number of statements to the press ab
Star Trek: Elusive Salvation
I loved Dayton Ward’s 2013 Star Trek novel From History’s Shadow. That novel took several characters and references from across the many different Star Trek series to aliens having been on Earth in the years between 1947 and 1968 and wove them together into a wonderful s

It’s been something of a rough week for my two favorite franchises with “Star” in their title. In last week’s big Star Trek news, the show-runners for Star Trek: Discovery were fired mid-way into production of season two, and replaced by Alex Kurtzman… wh
Star Trek: Further Adventures of the Department of Temporal Investigations!
The Department of Temporal Investigations was mentioned in one single Star Trek episode, Deep Space Nine’s “Trials and Tribble-ations.” But many fans (myself included!) loved what we saw of the DTI, and its agents Dulmur and Lucsley. Author Christopher L. Bennet
Star Trek: Department of Temporal Investigations: The Collectors
Back in 1996, as part of the celebration of the 30th anniversary of Star Trek, Deep Space Nine aired the fantastic episode “Trials and Tribble-ations,” in which Sisko and the DS9 contingent found themselves cast back in time and mixed up in the goings-on between Kirk and t
