Star Trek at Comic-con

So on a day where there was supposed to be announcements galor we get this new Star Trek poster(oohhh retro) and confirmation that Zachary Quinto (SYlar from Heroes) is spock and Lenoard Nimoy is coming back to. and that's it. Oh well if they are really going to start filming in November, it won't be long till we hear who is going to be Kirk.
Indiana Jones posters are cool too. 2008 may be the best Geek year ever. It's nice to always think that, but frankly this year has been outstanding.

trek fest is um

really a small town faire. Its kind of neat that they have the whole star trek thing label on it but really its just a small town fair with nothing much more to it. We only stayed about 1/2 an hour. I did see the future birthplace of Captain Kirk though. It's behind an alleyway. Someone had taped a picture of Uhura to the back. Funny.

The Shatner Show

O.k. up in Canada, birthplace of William Shatner, they are having a art show called, The Shatner Show. Pretty awesome pieces. Someone buy me that gorn and shatner kiss fest, or at least buy me the book. Seriously buy me the book:> Anyway you can check out the show here which is also where you can buy me a book. Going to be a busy day of Shatner today as Iowa City is showing Wrath of Khan for free tonight under the beautiful but hot June skies. Khaaaaaaaannnnnn!!!!!

Star Trek Of Gods and Men

So I've been aware of all the fan made films of Star Trek on the web the past couple of years. Exeter and New Voyages never really drew me in. Not that they were bad by any means, I just couldn't really get into it. Now I've seen this trailer for Of Gods and Men and seen the actual trek alumni in it and Im kinda blown away. It looks like more fun than any episode of Voyager ever was and it's a mirror universe tale so how can I pass that up? Walter Koening can play evil. I wonder how weird it is for these actors to be going back to these characthers for free after so long. I mean did anyone think we would see Uhuru on screen again? Even on the Innertube. My geek sense is tingling and I love this trailer. you can see and learn more at startrekofgodsandmen.com

Comic Review.

Star Trek The Space Between # 3 Very good story that must have taken place in season 7. These comics are nice reminders of TNG and just how simple the show really was.

Also I highly reccomend you pick up the Cross Bronx trade in stores today. It may be Oeming's best work besides Powers.

Star Trek XI is go!

O.k. Star Trek Eleven has officially been announced by Paramount for a Christmas 2008 release. It could be the best christmas present ever or the worse blow to my most embarrising favorite show. J.J. Abrams is definetly directing and IGN is now saying that Matt Damon is indeed deep in negotiations to play KIrk, Adrien Brody as Spock and Gary SInise as Mckoy. They also claim James Mcavoy(Last King of Scotland) may play Scotty and Daniel Dae Kim (Lost and Enterprise) is a possibilty for Sulu. I'd be surprised if they get all these actors but if they do then a reboot may indeed be neccesary. That's some serious star power and you got to believe this will be a bigger budgeted Star Trek than we have ever seen before.
Fingers crossed. If this thing bombs, well that will be it for the franchise for a long long time. If it succeeds expect a new show of some sort(maybe animated) and then watch CBS exploit the name until it grows stale again and we need another rebooting. Fingers Crossed.

civil war concludes, sci-fi comics

Civil War # 7 Finally this series wraps up although it will be a while before all the tie ins die down, Im pretty pleased with the conclusion even if it leaves me hating half of the marvel heroes. I guess that means it did its job then and really kind of impacted what was becoming a very stale universe. Wonder how full reaching they will take the initiative thing. It would be cool if we had defined teams for all fifty states. Who would represent your State?

Bsg #6 Yeah im about through with this. It's just too short. Has no real impact for me.


Star Trek TNG Space Between #2. This feels like an episode of Next Generation, so if you enjoyed them, youll enjoy this. I did by the way.

there are klingons in the white house.

I'm actually kinda speechless.

sf media tie in comics week

Star Trek The Next Generation The Space Between #1 0f 6 IDW publishing. The first Star Trek Comic released in years comes from IDW on this the 20th anniversary of the Next Generation. The story feels very TNG and the only complaint i can have is that it's set during the 1st year. I'd prefer to explore things that took place after the movies, to further the story but I can see how that could just be wishful thinking. The story has some good elements and the art is pretty good. All in all it's Star Trek in the four color boxes again and I'm definetly o.k. with that. b plus

BattleStar Galactica #5 Dynamite Publishing. More on the old cyclons and the returners and a setup for a pretty cool Sharon Valeri fight with herself. It's not really for anyone other than fans of the show and held to the shows' high standards it unfortunately can't compete. b-
