Alien Voices at Macabre Mansion

Back in the 90’s, Leonard Nimoy and John de Lancie formed a production company dedicated to reviving radio plays.

Capt. Kirk Blasts J.J. Abrams on YouTube

And of course, one of the biggest controversies surrounding that one is that William Shatner will not have a cameo as Captain James T. Kirk. Those that have followed Shatner’s career might […]

Hamlet Hears A Who

Reuters UK reports that The Doctor himself, David Tennant, is earning rave reviews in the most talked about production of Hamlet in recent memory.

Star Trek HD Now Online

CBS.com has added some of the fully remastered episodes of the original Star Trek to their new HD gallery. Yes, they’re streaming online, but the quality is amazing.  A wider screen, sharper colors, sound quality is probably better but not so that I’d notice on my cheap headphones.

Shatner Hosts Animal Planet Series

Spock!  Look. . . at. . .that. . .elephant. . paint! 
Okay, so the whole, William Shatner halting speech pattern joke has been done to death. It’s still a classic. But it’s something you won’t hear when Shatner takes on hosting duties for the new Animal Planet series Extraordinary Animals.

Not Even Sulu’s Singing Could Save It

CBS has axed Secret Talents of the Stars after one airing. We got to see George Takei sing “On the Road Again” and Clint Black attempt standup comedy.
But sadly we’ll never see Ric Flair salsa dancing or Roy Jones Jr. rapping. Actually, I don’t think I’m sad about either of those things. Secret Talents drew […]
