Star Trek: Destiny
A few months ago I wrote about some of the exciting Star Trek fiction that Pocket Books has released over the past several years, picking up story-lines left hanging by the now off-the-air 24th century Trek series (Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager). The o
News Around the Net
Haven’t done one of these in a while… Here’s some of the fun stuff floating around the interwebs these days: The Simpsons has moved to HD! This has apparently necessitated a change in the show’s iconic opening credits sequence, which has remained constant for
Star Trek: Phase 2
Back on September 9th I wrote about Star Trek: Phase 2, by far the most interesting of the many fan-made Star Trek projects that have sprung up over the past few years, in the absence of any new official Star Trek material on TV or at the movies. The goal of Phase 2 is to […]
Quantum of Solace, Watchmen, and Star Trek!
So Steph and I caught Quantum of Solace on Friday — What a fun time in a theatre! The showing started off with several exciting trailers for some of the big blockbusters that will be arriving in the spring. Quite a few of them didn’t interest me, such as Angels & Dem
J.J. Abrams’ new Starship Enterprise design revealed — oh, the pain!
I seem to be alternating between manic euphoria over the impending arrival of J.J. Abrams’ big-screen big-budget Star Trek relaunch/reboot/whatever, and tremendous pessimism that a film trying to re-cast the iconic roles of Kirk, Spock, etc., can’t possibly be good. On the

The New Frontier
OK, this is my last posting having to do with Star Trek for a while — I promise! But yesterday — believe it or not — marked the 42nd anniversary of the airing of the first episode of the original Star Trek series. On September 8th, 1966, NBC aired “The Man Tr
Beyond the Final Frontier — Part II
In addition to the great series of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine novels that I discussed yesterday, Pocket Books has really stepped up their game across the board. They have released a number of marvelous novels in the past few years dealing with ALL the different series in the Star Tr
Beyond the Final Frontier
The other day I mentioned here that there hasn’t been any truly great Star Trek around since Deep Space Nine went off the air back in 1999. Well, that’s not entirely true. Believe it or not, in the past few years, Pocket Book has put together a terrific line of Star Trek
Familiar Faces
Its always fun to be watching an old episode of a favorite TV show and spot a great guest star actor you’d never realized was there before. This happened twice to me recently. I was watching an old episode from the first season of The X-Files called “Shapes.”
