Quentin Tarantino’s Star Trek movie is literally the last thing the world needs right now

Captain, I suggest we go to Red Alert. We’re detecting signs of a very bad idea just off the starboard bow. 
Famed director Quentin Tarantino has apparently set himself on a collision course with the Star Trek franchise, according to a report by…

Star Trek spat: Why did one Starfleet captain block another on Twitter?

TwitterFacebook

If Captain Lorca wants to hail Captain Kirk, he’ll have to use some communications technology other than Twitter. 

William Shatner (best known for playing Kirk in 1966-68’s Star Trek) has blocked fellow Trek actor Jason Isaacs (Lorca on the still-in-progress series Star Trek Discovery) from reading his tweets, Isaacs revealed on Sunday.

I’ve been blocked by @WilliamShatner. The unkindest cut of all. In what way have I broken the prime directive Captain? Was it the end of sentence minor-key uptick? The quizzical eyebrow (and blue eyeliner)? The just too-tight uniform? Forgive me my sins – it’s an homage, I swear.

Star Trek fans know well how much Trekkie merch is out there — considering the franchise was launched in 1966, trying to collect 30+ years of themed stuff is quite the task. And with the recent premiere of Star Trek: Discovery, there’s bound to be a supernova explosion of new items.

However, there is one piece of merchandise that hovers above the rest — possibly because it literally looks like it fell straight out of the show’s set. The Star Trek Bluetooth communicator is the thing that fans never knew they needed. Read more…

‘Star Trek: Discovery’ just entered a whole bunch of new universes

TwitterFacebook

If you’ve been wondering whether to jump on board with Star Trek: Discovery, the show CBS is using to sell its $6-a-month All Access streaming service, Sunday night’s episode answered your questions with an unqualified yes … just in time for its long mid-season break. 

When the show returns in January — spoilers for the mid-season finale follow — the crew of the Discovery will literally be in a new universe. And that’s not the only place that Episode 10, “Into the Forest I Go,” took us for the first time. 

We also got what I believe is Star Trek’s first proper, full-on gay kiss, as well as its first ever sex scene. Unfortunately, the latter turned out to be a PTSD-inducing Klingon-on-human rape, one that shockingly subverted all our expectations about one character.   Read more…

‘Star Trek: Discovery’ throws viewers for a (time) loop, and it’s magical

TwitterFacebook

For a show involving cosmic fungus and a giant tardigrade, Star Trek: Discovery has been pretty serious this season.  

That’s not a bad thing. But Sunday night’s episode — called “Magic to Make the Sanest Man go Mad” — marked a glorious return to the campy, cheesy version of Star Trek that made other series so much fun. 

This episode had it all: time crystals, a time loop, and a man in a cape. Oh, and plenty of old-school references for diehard Trekkies. 

Rainn Wilson, who you might know as Dwight from The Office, holds the episode together. He plays Harcourt Fenton “Harry” Mudd, a con man who features in several episodes of the original 1966-68 Star TrekRead more…
