Alice Eve: I am a nerd, not a geek
Here is a interview that the Metro did with Alice Eve. You play Dr Carol Marcus in Star Trek Into Darkness. Were you aware of her exalted position as the mother, eventually, of James Kirk’s son? I watched the series when I was younger because it was on at 5.20 on a Saturday afternoon and my grandfather used to watch it. But I didn’t know who she was until I got the part and then I did my research. Obviously, she’s a super-brain. How...

Star Trek: The Original Series Part 14: Bring on the Klingon & what’s the (anti)matter with Lazarus? by Rick Austin
Klingons are as much a part of the Star Trek universe as the USS Enterprise, and have featured in every series made, but it all started here. With the Cold War being on everybody’s mind back in the ‘60s a villain had to be created to represent an opposing force to the Federation, and the make-up for the Romulans was too expensive to recreate on a regular basis. Gene Coon created the Klingons, and with some quickly-applied shoe polish...
