More thoughts on the Into Darkness Trailer by Gail & Laura
No matter how many times you watch the Star Trek Into Darkness trailer you will always find something new to talk about. Even five days later the internet, twitter are still debating who Benedict Cumberbatch will be in the new film. So far the most obvious suggestions are Khan, Gary Mitchell. There has been some interesting discussions on it possibly being Garth of Izar as seen in the original series. A part of me would wish that it...
Star Trek…Into Darkness – A non TOS fan perspective
You’re probably expecting an article all about what I think the plot is going to be for Star Trek Into Darkness, who I think the villain is, etc. etc. Well in all honesty, I’m afraid I can’t offer you any insight into those areas. Alas, I was never an Original Series fan, and only really got into Star Trek once Voyager started (I later went back to watch TNG and DS, but TOS was just too much for me). But please put...
‘STAR TREK CREATED BY NICHOLAS MEYER’ BY LEE HUTCHISON
Gene Roddenberry, the great bird of the galaxy was the man that is credited with creating ‘Star Trek’ and being the huge influence in death over everything that has come since. However, I believe the real credit for the show we are all on this website blogging, podcasting and connect with over on twitter to discuss belongs at the feet of Nicholas Meyer. When I mention the idea I had for this blog to someone, they didn’t know who...

Boldly Going to Exact His Revenge by Thomas Oakes
The 1:11 long Star Trek Into Darkness teaser trailer released on You Tube today starts like a lamb and ends like a lion. Scenes of what must certainly be the 23rd century San Francisco skyline (yes, a modernized version of the Transamerica Pyramid and Bank of America monolith are there) dazzle the eye, then the camera pans to a ceremony held outside of what must be Starfleet Academy. Four airborne vehicles quickly streak overhead,...
My thoughts on the Into Darkness Trailer by Lee Hutchison
When Michael asked me last night to write a few thoughts when the trailer for ‘Into Darkness’ came out, I got even more excited. After years of teasing, me moaning at anyone who’d dare suggest it was Khan and generally working myself up into a fan boy frenzy about any sort of information and casting announcement. Since the day Benedict “Fuckin” Cumberbatch was added to the cast, I’ve already been...
START WRECKING! WHAT’S UP WITH THE INTO DARKNESS TEASER TRAILER? by RICK AUSTIN
Death! Destruction! Mayhem of the highest order! That was my morning until I’d had my doughnut and atomic coffee and saw the teaser trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness. Interest in the new film is building to chaotic levels amongst the fans, and when even the poster is being subjected to intense scrutiny, this teaser trailer is enough to push the levels of speculation and anticipation off the charts. I’m not even going to bother...
SPIN THE BOTTLE WITH BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH By RICK AUSTIN
First it was Khan, then Gary Mitchell. The speculation is running rampant about just who Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch will play in the new film. Sure, it could be Gary Mitchell. It’s not hard to imagine him with silver eyes, levitating coffee cups and creating George R Kirk (yes, he wasn’t just a loopy Starfleet guy, apparently he was a dyslexic one too) tombstones out of thin air. But they did want Benicio Del Toro...
THE 10 ODDEST SHOPS ON THE PROMENADE by RICK AUSTIN
After 7 years of living with the locals on Deep Space Nine, we all came to know it pretty well. We spent hours in Ops, popped by Garak’s Clothiers to watch some suits get altered and information traded, and spent so much time at Quarks that we even got to know some of the dabo girls by name. The Promenade is a busy, vibrant place with many people wandering around on their daily shopping excursions. But how much do we really know about...
Riker and Troi: Imzadi by Gail Gerard
When I first set out to write this article, I intended to write about the many loves of Will Riker, TNG’s resident skirt chaser. I’ve always felt that when they were coming up for the show bible for TNG, they knew that they had to have one male crew member who was a big hit with all the ladies. Someone to fill Captain Kirk’s womanizing boots. Will Riker, with his attractiveness and charm, managed to fill that role...
