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. 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 […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
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 […]
I got the below in e-mail today, letting me know that Star Trek: The IMAX Experience is for a VERY limited time. Two weeks only, in fact. Why is two weeks only? To make way for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian. Seriously. Anyway, if you’re planning on seeing Star Trek (and everyone […]
