Here’s the “official teaser” trailer for J.J. Abrams’ Trek reboot, Star Trek into Darkness. It’s full of action and excitement, but not much else in the way of story. As a first taste, this is probably the best way to do it because it certainly creates a lot of Oohs and Ahhs. Directed by JJ Abrams, [...]

Wil Wheaton explains how it went down: It was Sunday at Austin Wizard World Con. I had the flu, and almost missed this photo session. Though I had a fever and no cowbell, I sat there and smiled for everyone as best as I could, grateful that I’d spent the entire night throwing up so [...]
J.J. Abrams went on Conan last night, and brought the first footage of the second Star Trek movie, which is called Star Trek into Darkness. That’s a terrible name for the new movie. Just horrendous. Anyway, don’t get too excited because the clip is more of a joke than anything else, but, I guess we [...]

So there’s a new Star Trek videogame and apparently it’s going to be the first game to be officially considered part of the Trek Canon. I don’t really have any feelings on the matter, but it seems significant for people that are into videogames and Star Trek, no? Slashfilm, Badass Digest and Bleeding Cool all [...]
Best Week Ever got the scoop, though there seems to be little context for the image. Apparently, this was taken outside a plaza of sorts and just happened to be a random photo — not some pre-planned PR stunt. If that’s the case, this photo is doubly awesome. I’d like to think the two actors [...]
The Star Trek bathrobe from ThinkGeek is pretty much the only housecoat you should purchase for the geek in your life. Right now it comes in either the Captain Kirk yellow variety or the Spock blue variety for a reasonable $50. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to make one in “red shirt” variety — which is [...]
