Is the new Star Trek movie part of the original series canon or a reboot? According to a recent interview with Robert Orci, the answer may be “both.” But why does “canon” matter, anyway? Talking to TrekMovie, Orci – one of the scriptwriters of next year’s movie – explained that time travel explains away the…

First Look At the New USS Enterprise

Entertainment Weekly‘s got an exclusive first picture of the new Enterprise, also known as the old Enterprise, also known as Kirk’s Enterprise. It looks quite Enterprisey—a sort of mashup between the old sensibilities of TOS, the more advanced special effects of the USS Enterprise E (Picard’s latest ship) and Scott Bakula’s lousy junker. Looking at…

Lost: The Movie?

Now that ABC has agreed to let Lost end after a six-year run — meaning no more Dharma bums after 2010 — show helmer J.J. Abrams is finally contemplating a Lost movie. He says that’s mainly because the show will be able to end well, and not get dragged out for years. Somehow the idea…

The Not-So-Secret Fantasy of Every Fringe Fan

This week on Fringe, a hopeless dork who lives with his mom and has a dead-end job finds himself made into something “special” by science.

Why Fringe Is SF TV’s Most Reassuring Show

We admit it; We’re fascinated by Fringe, and not just because it reminds me of The Venture Bros..
