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 […]
Dom DeLuise always made me laugh. He was a welcome figure in many comedies of the seventies and eighties. Often associated with Burt Reynolds, he appeared as Captain Chaos in Cannon Ball Run and in many other Reynolds films. According to reports coming from TMZ.com, DeLuise passed away last night. He was recently hospitalized for […]
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, […]
The new Star Trek score has a lot to live up to – the scores for all the original movies are all very memorable (some for good reasons, some for bad), and even the TV shows had great scores and themes (I especially love the Deep Space Nine theme). Still, with a changing of the […]
Some small spoilers for X-Men Origins: Wolverine in the following article! So, proving that his healing factor can overcome even internet piracy, Wolverine managed to defeat the naysayers and make over $87 million in its opening weekend (expect that number to drop drastically this weekend, when Star Trek opens).

As a follow up to my recent article on the Burger King Star Trek promotion, after the jump is part of an official press release (you can read all of here, and find out what they’re doing for Transformers and GI Joe) that puts into more detail their plans for Trek, which began TODAY!
Yes, I have made well documented by search for the elusive Atomic Robo and Friends Free Comic Book Day issue, which manange to dodge my Burger King tainted hands not one, but FOUR times. However, Red 5 Comics have made me a happy geek, because they have put up the entire FCBD Atomic Robo and […]
I don’t think of myself as a stupid person. In fact, I think I’m pretty intelligent. Still, the Star Trek Star Fleet Academy Trainer makes me feel like a blithering idiot. In a series of three pictures, where you have to find the differences between an original and a modified version (remember how easy those […]
Like a rutting Vulcan deep in the throws of Pon Farr, I have a burning passion for the music of the Star Trek films. From the ethereal movements of Star Trek: The Motion Picture to the explosive tracks of The Wrath of Khan, from First Contact to, yes, even Nemesis, I love the music of […]
