Space… The final frontier… The 101 Sci-Fi movies brings me a chance to revisit one of the Enterprise’s most successful screen adventures.

Star Trek Into Darkness – Trailers and Thoughts
I am a Star Trek fan, from that first Saturday morning when I discovered the show in the late 70s, but before The Motion Picture came along. I can find things I like about every single one of the television series, as well as the movies. I love the world and the future Gene Roddenberry…
IDW Star Trek (Ongoing) – Issues 5 & 6 – Operation: Annihilate
The IDW re-launch and re-imagining of classic Trek continues in isssues 5 and 6, with a retelling of the Season 1 episode Operation: Annihilate.

One word and one word only to describe the blu-ray release of Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1… Wow. I’ve been with Next Gen since the beginning, I was a huge Trek fan before it, and I was clamoring for more and more and more. I ate up every little bit of the new…

Star Trek: The Bantam Books
I finished navigating my way through the original Bantam novels this weekend. As stated in my previous post there were 15 of them altogether in addition the episode adaptations (some of which I still own). I will say this, I may not be suffering from Trek overdose, but it’s never been easier to see all…
The Human Adventure Is Just Beginning..
Star Trek: The Motion Picture gets a lot of flak, which is regrettable, as I quite enjoy it. People complained about it being slow and ponderous, and untrue to the original series. I have to disagree. Is the films slow moving? It could be construed as such, but I like to see it as getting…
New To Me Trek
When Deep Space Nine rolled around the first time, I tried to get into it. It was Star Trek, and I love my Trek. But apparently I was too devoted a fan of the exploration side of the Trek universe, and had already welcomed two crews of the Enterprise into my heart. So after about…
