Spock is Ready to Ditch 'Star Trek' For 'Star Wars: Episode 7′

Jacob Hall — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 21:49:23 +0000

Many 'Star Trek' fans felt personally betrayed when director J.J. Abrams ditched the series and jumped ship to 'Star Wars Episode 7.' After all, the two iconic science fiction franchises have been embroiled in a silly war among fans for decades now -- either you're in one camp or the other, it seems. But how would Trekkies feel if Mr. Spock himself, Leonard Nimoy, took a journey to the 'Star Wars' universe?

New 'Star Trek Into Darkness' TV Spot: "Earth Will Fall"

Jacob Hall — Sat, 04 May 2013 18:31:08 +0000

Perhaps the title was a pretty clear indication of what to expect, but 'Star Trek Into Darkness' looks a little bleak, huh? For a series that's been built on the concept of humanity standing together and bettering itself, it sure is odd to see the phrase "Earth will fall" in a newly released TV spot.

'Star Trek Into Darkness' Spoilers Revealed in the New Toy Sets?

Nick Romano — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 23:16:28 +0000

Movie toy lines have a nasty habit of revealing too much information about the movies on which they're based. Either that, or we all just read too much into them. Regardless, it's become common place for die-hard fans to draw their own conclusions, which is what we did when Hasbro's 2013 Toy Fair presented it's 'Star Trek Into Darkness' Kre-O toys. So what potential spoilers were picked up?

'Star Trek Into Darkness' 3D Was Not Part of the J.J. Abrams Plan

Eric Walkuski — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 01:02:22 +0000

"To 3D or not to 3D?" is a question moviegoers often have to ask themselves when hitting the multiplex to see the latest blockbuster, but the debate doesn't stop at the paying customer. Sometimes it's the filmmakers themselves who are dubious about the technology, even as they work with it. This issue has come to light after J.J. Abrams revealed that he himself was not sold on converting his latest, 'Star Trek Into Darkness,' into 3D initially. In fact, he had it forced upon him by the studio.

Build Your Own Working Tricorder – Tech Thursday

Big Rich — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:30:37 +0000

Lately I've been on a Star Trek kick. I've been watching some old episodes of Enterprise and The Next Generation. So when I came across a story about a Canadian man building a real working Tricorder, I had to check it out. The really interesting part about it is, he's doing it open source, so anyone can take his work, and build their own, or improve it.

Top Tech for 2011 – Tech Thursday

Big Rich — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 15:30:04 +0000

The New Year is just a couple days away and everyone has their own Top Lists for every subject under the sun. So when BJ messaged me and gave me a great idea for one of my blogs I jumped on it. The top tech for 2011. My plan was to just do some Google searches and see what the consensus was on this. And BJ pretty much called it in his messages to me, iPhone 4S.

Star Trek TNG Cast Watches Star Wars Episode IV [VIDEO]

BJ Ragone — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:27:12 +0000

As a nerd I love both Star Trek and Star Wars. This morning Big Rich shared a video with me that brings both of these things together, and in hilarious fashion. The crew of the Enterprise comes across the first Star Wars film (A New Hope) and decides that they have time to kill, so they give it a watch. It's really funny to see their reactions as they dissect the movie and seem to be very confused by "the force". Good stuff for Trekies and Star Wars dorks alike.

Star Trek Turned Into A Sitcom [VIDEO]

BJ Ragone — Sat, 06 Aug 2011 23:00:29 +0000

I was a huge fan of Star Trek The Next Generation when it was on the air, and continue to be now. The show was always pretty serious, but at points it’s comedy shined through. Add a laugh track and you have MASH in space, Pretty funny stuff. I also just recently learned that they [...]
