• Cameos Galore in New Trek Film

    Paying homage to an iconic franchise like Star Trek isn’t an easy thing to do but JJ Abrams and crew have certainly tried from obvious shout-outs to the Original Series to the more subtle nuances such as bringing certain figures known for their own attachment to the Trek-verse. The best way to do that is by cameo appearances by key personnel who have a direct link to the franchise or those who over the many years have been vocal about their love of the series in all its incarnations.

    In the late 80’s there was a rumor going around that would see Star Trek adapted as Broadway musical. That project never saw the light of day but that doesn’t mean the idea of a musical Trek died.

  • A Clue Why Abrams May Prefer Wars Over Trek

    It would appear that Disney is more than willing to work some kind of merchandising deal with Abrams while Paramount/CBS apparently has not been as eager to let go of their grip over control of the half-century blockbuster Trek universe when it comes to comic book futures, coffee mugs, ad infinitum.

  • “Star Trek Into Darkness” — A Slice of SciFi Movie Review

    It’s been four years since J.J. Abrams revitalized the Star Trek movie franchise and with each passing summer, expectations for the next voyage “where no man has gone before” have ratcheted up higher and higher. Add to it the extreme secrecy surrounding certain plot elements and character identities and you’ve got a movie that I entered with pretty much the same feeling as I did the first revitalized Trek a few years ago — equal parts anticipation and apprehension.

What If “Game of Thrones” Finishes on TV Before the Final Book is Published?

Given the amount of time it takes George R.R. Martin to craft and publish the next installment of A Song of Ice and Fire, it’s looking more and more likely that Game of Thrones will end before the final volume is published. Add in that the producers are saying they believe seven seasons of the show would be a good run for the series, that means the TV show could SPOIL the novels.
