For my birthday this year I decided to get the boxed set of all three years of Star Trek – The Original Series. I had been watching it on G4 on Saturdays and I thought – you know, I should just buy them on DVD. I ordered them from Amazon and they arrived a few [...]
I have yet to see the newly remastered Star Trek, but a kind community member here emailed me a link to the trailer on YouTube. I have to say I was initially skeptical – after all, part of the fun in watching an old sci-fi show is the bad effects – but they seem to [...]
I remember reading L. Ron Hubbard’s book Battlefield Earth when I was a teen and thinking what a sexist pig that L. Ron was. He permanently lost a potential Scientology recruit with this book; but the film version has done an even better job in turning folks off of Scientology. Not that this film is [...]
The classic book by H.G. Wells doesn’t necessarily translate well to the big screen. In this case, in order to make The Time Machine more exciting, the film version adds a lost love and a ghoulish villain at the end. Alas, such changes to the basic story end up removing the biting social commentary that [...]
The first “real” episode of Star Trek: New Voyages is light years ahead of the clunky pilot. While some problems still persist (acting classes, guys, acting classes), this episode actually got me excited about Star Trek again. After years and years of Rick Berman, it is so refreshing to watch a good Star Trek show [...]
Having recently discovered this wide, wild world of Star Trek fan films, I am truly excited at the potential. For too long, science fiction fans have been at the mercy of television executives.

What could I say about Star Trek that has not already been said? It was this very show that turned me into a Closet Sci-Fi Geek back in high school. I couldn’t get enough of it. And I don’t care what anyone says, no Star Trek series since matches the original. There would be no [...]
From the Star Trek New Voyages website: “Walter Koenig, the actor who portrayed the character Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek series on television and the first seven feature films, will introduce the premier showing of the Star Trek: New Voyages episode “To Serve All My Days†at the Star Trek: 40th Anniversary Gala [...]
SciFi.com has launched a series of 10 original webisodes of Battlestar Galactica connecting the season two finale with season three, which premieres October 6. I watched the first one put up today. It was brief, not that exciting, and involved some minor non-characters I’ve never seen before. (I don’t know if these are the cheap [...]
Fan fiction has now become fan video as homegrown production companies are now making their own video versions of Star Trek and other science fiction favorites. One very promising series is Star Trek: New Voyages, which simply continues the adventures of Kirk, Spock, and the rest of the Enterprise crew at the end of the [...]
