LINDA: I have to say, at the first sight of the Enterprise I felt the same old tingle of excitement. I *love* The Next Generation, and still can’t help but look forward to the new movies. Unfortunately their movies, except for the one with the Borg Queen (First Contact), have been pretty much forgettable. TIM: …
Tim Allen & Co. play aging actors who can’t live down their roles from a sci-fi TV show called Galaxy Quest that had aired years before (and had basically typecast them for the rest of their acting careers). Yep, try to guess the show being parodied here! Lately, the “crew” has been relegated to appearing …
It is hard to discuss Star Trek III: The Search for Spock without spoiling Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan… so consider yourself warned and stop reading now. There. Now. Star Trek II ended with the death of Spock (Leonard Nimoy) as he sacrificed himself to save the Enterprise, making Trekkies across the land …
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is a refreshingly silly confection after the somber (and dull) seriousness of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Now that Spock is alive again, we can move on, and Star Trek IV surprisingly takes an unusual (but ripe for fun) direction. Kirk & Co. are now piloting a …
A few years ago, who would have guessed that of all people, an actor known mainly for a supporting role on a 60s sci-fi show, would become King of the Internet? Sure, Star Trek was not just any old show (this is coming from a Trekkie who has been to a few conventions in her …
This documentary is for anyone who is an admitted (or in-denial) Star Trek fan, or for anyone who enjoyed the movie Galaxy Quest. It’s a no-frills low budget film about Star Trek fans, hosted and produced by Denise Crosby (which proves once you’re involved with Star Trek, it will haunt your professional career forever). This …
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan has stood the test of time for many reasons. Not only is it widely agreed to be the best of the big-screen Star Trek films, it is also the one that will make Trekkers cry (in an earned way, as opposed to a “this film sucks” way), plus …
We start this journey at the apex of an already-in-progress mission where Spock (Zachary Quinto) cites the Prime Directive a few times in the first couple minutes. Once again Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) is about to deviate from it by saving a pre-industrial civilization, unfortunately by revealing the U.S.S. Enterprise to them, leaving the baffled …
Oh, yeah, I can hear it already: “What a cranky-pants! She doesn’t know how to enjoy a silly sci-fi action movie! She’s such a purist, she was probably picking apart every scene!” Well, yes and no. Yes, I’m a Trekkie (and no, I’m not one of those who insists on the silly, haughty “Trekker” moniker). …
