While you munch down on your bowl of toasted fruity O’s (curiously shaped as the Guardian of Forever) we here at IoM provide you with some Saturday morning music to aid your digestion. First, Tu-Spock kicks it old school… Next, she’s totally gonna’ feel the wrath of my Khan… (from Warp 11) If you liked […]
I’m a Saint Louis Cardinals fan. Cubs fans receive nothing but mockery from me, Royals fans, even more. Some might wonder why I’m such an ass to people that are fans of different baseball franchises. Why should I care? They don’t know me, the players would leave in a heartbeat for more money if it […]
So, apparently because I’m Captain Oblivious, there’s been a viral Star Trek campaign going on involving all sorts of videos and hints that tie into the movie – read all about it here. Over the last few weeks there has been an intricate alternative reality game for the new Star Trek which has been keeping […]
I saw the new Star Trek movie last night. It rocked hard. Seriously, crazy awesome. Casting was brilliant, story was spot-on and the action was ladled in awesome sauce.

It’s kind of a sad fact, but most fans typically venture into their franchise’s “expanded universe.” Some of the biggest fans of Star Wars haven’t picked up Timothy Zahn’s excellent “Heir to the Empire” series, which (I think) makes a pretty darn good follow up to the original trilogy. A good number of people who […]
It’s Cinco de Mayo and Star Trek Week, which got me to thinking about all of those great Star Trek characters of Mexican heritage. That rich, bold… er … history of… umm… Were there any Mexican members of Starfleet? I consulted the Star Trek Encyclopedia and found an Ensign Lopez whose only noteworthy mention was […]
I think IDW may have done more with Star Trek than any other company in recent memory. Marvel did a decent amount, and Malibu had their Deep Space Nine series. Wildstorm seemed like just one big wasted opportunity. However, IDW has literally flooded the market with Star Trek material and produced some pretty interesting stuff, […]
