J.J. Abrams’ re-think of the Star Trek universe was many more times Romulus shatteringly awesome than even the most optimistic Trek geek ever hoped. It re-energized an aging property. Everyone outside (and many within) fandom believed it could not be done. Making more than $380 million in worldwide box office, the film was successful in […]
I know what you’re thinking, looking at our new snazzy background. What the hell? Star Trek came out six months ago! And you’d be right Star Trek did come out six months ago. But guess what? It comes out on DVD and Blu-Ray next Tuesday, November 17th! To celebrate, we’re giving you another week of […]

It’s no secret, I loves me some Star Trek. The movies, the TV shows, and the comics? All of them I regard with deep affection. The novels though? I’m crazy for the novels. I’ve not read all of them. Hell, I doubt I’ve even read most of them. That would be a full time job. […]

JJ Abrams, please, please, please say you’ll make the next one. To give you an indication of how good the movie is and how well it […]
The most disappointing aspect for me about seeing Star Trek last night in DIGITAL IMAX was that there was literally not a single person in costume. I don’t know if it’s fear of ridicule, or just the fact that no one does that anymore, but hell, people dressed up to see The Dark Knight, and […]

With the new Trek reboot now in theaters and (hopefully) set to reinvigorate the franchise, it’s pretty interesting to note that this idea isn’t exactly a new one. While the storyline itself is original to this movie, the idea of rebooting the franchise and exploring the early adventures of the Enterprise crew was actually considered […]
Good golly I loves me some Star Trek RPGing. I’ve been running Trek games since 1982 with the FASA system. It is a system that is long out of print. Since 1989 in fact. For seven years, FASA put out the best damned Trek RPG that would ever be published. I love the system […]
