Star Trek Online catching up on 30 years
Written by Derek Kessler on Saturday, 30 August 2008
Star Trek OnlineSet three decades into the future, Star Trek Online players will clearly have some catching up to do if they want to understand the universe in which the upcoming MMORPG will be taking place. To that effect, the Star Trek Online website just launched a new section called “Universe” which will tackle the details and nuances of the Star Trek Online galaxy and the changes that have been made in the intervening thirty years. The first part of this is “The Path to 2409”, which is starting off by picking up right where Star Trek Nemesis left off. The full text of 2379-2380 is after the break.

How would you change Star Trek: Voyager?
Written by Derek Kessler on Friday, 29 August 2008
Star Trek: VoyagerIt’s been a month since I last asked “How would you change?” so the time has come again to pose the question. With the debate still raging over Star Trek Nemesis, it seemed like an interesting point to take a look at what many consider to be one of Star Trek’s more flawed television series: Star Trek: Voyager. Lost in the Delta Quadrant for seven years, Voyager had a few more, shall we say, quirks than the other series. So I’ll put forth these talking points, and you may take it to wherever you like. Were the Borg overused or neutered in Voyager or did the ship stay in unrealistically pristine condition? What about all those shuttlecraft (seventeen total) that blew up, fell apart, or crashed? Or what of that magical reset button that almost without exception had ship and crew healthy, hearty, and even closer to Earth at the end of every episode? You know the question is just on the tip of my digital tongue, so enough teasing: how would you change Star Trek: Voyager?

Pegg: Star Trek not a remake, getting back to the good stuff
Written by Derek Kessler on Thursday, 28 August 2008
Simon PeggIn an interview with Starlog, Simon Pegg addressed the issue of Star Trek (2009) being a remake vs. a reboot vs. the recently coined “reimagining.” The actor, who is playing Scotty in the upcoming Trek prequel, said this about the remake talk: “The weird thing - and I think this goes for both Star Trek and Doctor Who - is that neither of them are remakes. I often see Star Trek being referred to as a remake, and it really isn't. It's another Star Trek film; it's another movie in the series. It's the continuing mission.”

Final word: William Shatner not in ST09
Written by Derek Kessler on Thursday, 28 August 2008
William ShatnerThe rumor mill has been swirling on Shatner’s involvement - specifically his lack thereof - in Star Trek (2009). The original Captain Kirk has long said that he is not involved and knows nothing about the production, but it seems that some people just couldn’t let it go. So the burden of proof fell to ST09 producer/director extraordinaire JJ Abrams, who flat out says, “No, the only cast member from the original films is Nimoy.”

Clifton Collins on ST09’s Romulan connection
Written by Derek Kessler on Thursday, 21 August 2008
Clifton Collins, JrBeing that the actor is playing a Romulan, or at least so we assume, there’s quite the connection. Clifton Collins, Jr., has been case as Ayel, Nero’s Romulan cohort in Star Trek (2009), and as part of the role, he had to learn to speak Romulan. As in the language. “The had a linguist come in and invent Romulan!” Collins said, in an interview with E! Online.

More Star Trek (2009) posters: Sulu, Scotty, McCoy, and Chekov
Written by Derek Kessler on Thursday, 21 August 2008
Star Trek (2009)At the official Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, Paramount Pictures saw fit to release four more Star Trek (2009) character posters in the same vein as the four loosed upon the public back at Comic Con San Diego. Up this time are John Cho as Hikaru Sulu in black, Simon Pegg as Montgomery “Scotty” Scott in red, Karl Urban as Dr. Leonard McCoy in blue, and young Anton Yelchin as Pavel Chekov in yellow. These four, like the previous set of Nero, Uhura, Spock, and Kirk, are all cropped in such a way that when arranged properly create the famous Star Trek delta shield. [minor spoilers]

Chris Pine: Not Shatner-style, but Kirk still gets action
Written by Derek Kessler on Tuesday, 19 August 2008
Chris PineIt wouldn’t be Star Trek if James T. Kirk didn’t rip his shirt and lock lips with a lady of otherworldly hues, now would it? While we have yet to get confirmation of the obligatory shirt ripping, Chris Pine recently chatted with E! Online, where he revealed (unsurprisingly) that he’s not going to attempt to mimic William Shatner’s Kirk and the requisite dramatic... pauses. Said Pine, “Really what Shatner did was very specific and very unique to him. I think if I went to mimic-ville, I went to try to do Shatner, it would not have been smart.” Good call.
