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, […]
Yesterday we chatted about the film scores for Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan. Today? Everything else. Without a doubt, the weakest of the Trek scores has got to be the music for what is the most popular films of the franchise – Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. You know? The […]

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 […]

I can’t lie. I haven’t seen a single one of these. Though pretty much the entire storyline has gotten out because of preview screenings, I’m trying to go in as blind as I can on the new Star Trek movie. Still, Paramount (who doesn’t hate us too bad after the whole G.I. Joe thing) supplied […]
As a fan of the Star Trek franchise – and in keeping with Star Trek Week here at IoM – I thought it might be prudent to do a few entries on Star Trek. Since I am just as much a whore as any other geek, I’ll use this opportunity to talk about some of […]
