If I need to waste my time telling you who Leonard Nimoy is, you need to get the hell out of my column.
Sorry. I’m just very passionate about Star Trek and, as far as iconic sci-fi characters go, you don’t get much better than Mr. Spock. Nimoy, of course, played Spock in the original television series and its subsequent film franchise, before revisiting and retiring the role in J.J. Abrams’ 2009 Star Trek reboot.
In recent years, Nimoy has rekindled a near-lifelong passion with photography, releasing books of portraits …

SGU failed because those in charge pandered to their own wants and needs and not their audience. They couldn’t even be bothered to check if there was a market for their product. What business rushes into producing something when there is no demand for it and when the idea alone has been met with nothing but negativity.
Brad made it clear that he thought anything he touched would turn to gold. He wasn’t interested in listening to the fans or even to his own actors. How dare anyone question him or …

When you think of Roxann Dawson and Star Trek, do you think of her more as B’Elanna Torres on Voyager or as the director of the Voyager episodes “Riddles” and “Workforce, Part 2” and 10 episodes of Enterprise, including “The Andorian Incident,” “Bounty,” “E2” and “Awakening”? These days, no question about it, Dawson thinks of herself as a director more so than as an actress. Since Voyager faded to black 10 years ago this month, she’s devoted her time to behind-the-scenes work, calling the shots on not just …

Are you feeling bereft because Star Trek 2 is taking too long to come the big screen? Are you sorely missing seeing some Vulcans, Andorians and Orions on your TV screens? The good news is: We may get some new Trek again on TV. The bad news is: It may not be the way you might expect or even care about.

Cinema Blend is reporting that a new Star Trek animated series may be in the works, based on a Twitter exchange between Trek Movie and Star Trek writer …

So episode begins with Park in the infirmary while TJ slowly peels off the bandages, after some brief checking it still appears that she still is blind. What an actual injury which will be sustained throughout the series? Actually upon reflection. Hows that back holding up Young? Oh Greer I heard you had a kidney taken out of you. It always makes me laugh when the supporting characters are more interesting and have more emotional depth than the main cast.
Young is in the background but doesn’t interrupt the moment, if …

When I first saw this post on SciFi-Nexus forums, I thought, “Wow, this can’t be for real, can it?  Gotta be a fake..  A good fake, but a fake, nonetheless.”   Then someone sent me a You-Tube link, telling me check it out there.  Yep.  There it was.  “Hmmm… Maybe it could be real?” I thought.  Then I remembered that I had dvr-ed it in case SciFi-Nexus needed an episode review and I was pressed to take one for the team.  I dashed for my remote (and that isn’t hyperbole — …

This was actually an entertaining episode. despite the ripoff of other shows like Battlestar Galactica with the whole Drones = Cylons and all of that.
There was actually a real sense of tension in this episode, and some really cool moments.
Overall I’d say this was a good episode, probably the best of all of SGU. even on par with SG1 episodes.
Maybe i’m overreacting because I was pleasantly surprised that this wasn’t as bad as most of the other episodes.
Still had a lot of WTF moments though.
First of all that deal with …

I’ll try not to engage in my little rants but here we go.
The Destiny now dropped out of FTL behind a gas giant (using same footage from the season 1 episode Darkness) to slow the ship down, the immediately come across the strike force of drones. They come to the conclusion that the drones while they can’t track them in while in FTL have found out that they need stars to recharge, with the Destiny now running low of power and the risk of engagement because every time they’ve engaged …

Australian actor Chris Hemsworth leveraged the buzz from his short but impressive turn as George Kirk in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek into the title role for Thor (opening next week). In a new interview, Hemsworth said even though he is now very busy, he would “absolutely” be willing return as James T. Kirk’s dear old dad in a Star Trek sequel.
Hemsworth ‘Absolutely’ ready for more Trek
In a video Thor video interview with Danish film site Filmz.dk, the subject of Star Trek came up. When asked if he would consider returning …
