Star Trek Enterprise: Rise of the Federation
I thought the post-finale series of Star Trek: Enterprise books was finished. Written exclusively by Andy Mangels & Michael A. Martin (and, in the later books, by Mr. Martin solo), this post-finale Enterprise series had gotten off to a great start. They cleverly undid the stupid
News Around the Net
This is an old clip (it’s from 2012), but I just saw it for the first time and loved it: a revival of “Who’s on First” with Jimmy Fallon, Billy Crystal, and Jerry Seinfeld! This made me laugh a LOT. Ladies and gentlemen: Good Will Batman. This is an interes
Josh Ranks the Star Trek Movies — Part 2!
On Wednesday I began ranking the Star Trek films, from worst to best. Here is the rest of my list, numbers 4-1. These are, by far, my favorite Star Trek films. These films are not only head and shoulders above the seven other Trek films in quality, but all four of them rank amon
Josh Ranks the Star Trek Movies From Worst to Best
Quite a lot of websites picked up the story of how, at a recent Star Trek convention, fans ranked the twelve Trek films from worst to best. Badass Digest’s Devin Faraci wrote a terrific piece on the ranking, sharing his thoughts on all the films. It’s a hoot to read, a

Ben Affleck is Batman? And Other News Around the Net

New production video for The Hobbit! Yay! Do you have $275 burning a hole in your pocket? Then why not consider buying yourself (or me!) a print of Drew Struzan’s gorgeous Dark Tower painting (originally featured in Frank Darabont’s vastly underrated adaptation of Step
Returning to Star Trek: New Frontier (Part Three)
I have been having a great time diving back into Peter David’s terrific Star Trek: New Frontier series of novels. Click here for my overview of the series, and here for my thoughts on several of Mr. David’s most recent New Frontier novels. Having caught up with the Ne
Returning to Star Trek: New Frontier (Part Two)
As I wrote about earlier this week, I have recently re-immersed myself in Peter David’s terrific Star Trek: New Frontier novels! Stone and Anvil — This novel, published back in 2003, is one of my very favorite of Mr. David’s New Frontier novels. It proved to be a w
Returning to Star Trek: New Frontier
About twenty years ago, I started reading the Star Trek novels published by Pocket Books. At the time, Star Trek: The Next Generation was on the air, probably in the second or third season. There were no other spin-off shows, and only four Trek movies. I’d seen those four
