Dr. Beckett Goes To Star Trek

Sunday, February 24th, 2008

It seems Stargate: Atlantis’ Dr. Carson Beckett (a.k.a. Paul McGillion) won’t play Scotty in the upcoming Star Trek XI, but he will make an appearance. He told Trekmovie.com:
“As you know, I have signed pages of confidentiality clauses. I can say that I had a scene with Kirk and that was pretty cool. And I am [...]

Star Trek Maps: Get ‘Em While They Last

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

As much as we’d love to show you these beautiful (and informative) maps of almost all the Star Trek universe thus described, they’re totally copyrighted by Pocket Books. How do we know this? Whomever is responsible for these dutifully scanned that page, too, and made it available with the maps.
If you get in to check [...]

ST:TNG — Yesterday’s Enterprise

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

Audra and I have been picking our way through a variety of Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes — most recently one of our favorites: Yesterday’s Enterprise. For those of you not familiar with the episode — yes, both of you — it features the unexpected arrival of an earlier Enterprise (NCC-1701C) from 22 years [...]

Yelchin On Aliens, S— Blowin’ Up, Etc.

Saturday, February 23rd, 2008

As has been widely reported, Anton Yelchin — Star Trek XI’s new Checkov — indicated in an MTV interview that he won’t say “nuclear wessels” in the new flick, but will take on the whole “w” replaces “v” bit. So maybe the real “spoiler” is that Checkov never says “vessels.”
Regardless, you should check out this [...]

It’s Not Easy Being Green

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

I’d say this is one hell of plank in the “green aliens are hotter than blue aliens” argument. Yep — that’s everyone’s favorite dabo girl Chase Masterson as Xela, the Orion slave girl in the fun new internet-only Star Trek: Of Gods And Men mini-series.
Masterson, as quoted in the Renegade Studios forum via an Associated [...]

Patrick Stewart On Extras [ROFL]

Wednesday, February 20th, 2008

As many GWCers know, Patrick Stewart has an incredible sense of humor. Here’s the latest example.
This tells me one thing: clearly I’m not watching enough BBC TV. Hopefully now that a lot of it’ll be available on iTunes, I can fix that.

Cosmos: #2 “Smartest” Show?

Monday, February 18th, 2008

The friendly folks over at TV Squad today stumbled across a list of the “10 smartest TV shows of all time” issued by MENSA. Number two on the list: Sean’s favorite kid-friendly science show, Cosmos.
What beat out Cosmos, you ask? M*A*S*H. Yes, Hawkeye trumps Carl.
I suppose I can see where they’re coming from, in that [...]

Maybe I’m Not A Prequel Hater. Really.

Saturday, September 1st, 2007

As listeners know, I recently outed myself as a prequel hater. Mr. Lucas fired up the tractor and hitched up the bandwagon by choosing I, II, and III over VII, VIII, and IX, and it seems like everyone with a hand in long-running franchise script development has climbed aboard since. And though I [...]
