Recalled To Action: 20 Heroes Pulled Out Of Retirement

Just when you thought you were out, they teleport you back in. The hero who comes out of retirement for One. Last. Mission. is one of the great cliches of science fiction. Here are twenty heroes who can’t go quietly. The “old soldier who gets dragged out of retirement” story is a great old chestnut.…

Star Trek’s Third Movie Being Plotted Out Already?

It’s been months since we’ve heard an update on the next Star Trek movie but last night at we got this little tidbit from screenwriters Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman. Sounds like the next film is part one of two. Last night at the Wrath Of Con party at Comic Con we got a few…

Movies And Spider-Man Fare Well In This Week’s Comics

It’s the week of San Diego, which can only mean one thing, right? All manner of new projects to premiere at the con! Surprisingly… not. But don’t worry – that doesn’t mean it’s an entirely dull week at the store. Blame it on publishers focusing on con announcements and con exclusive releases, but this week’s…

Where’s The Bathroom On The Enterprise? 9 Space Toilets

With the toilet on the International Space Station busted once again, we can’t help but wonder whether humanity is doomed to a space-faring future without working facilities. Fortunately, there are plenty of fictional, functional space toilets to ease our minds. Star Trek: The Federation may have given us huge advances in transportation and energy-matter conversion,…

The 1979 Klingon Happy Meal

You may think the weird Happy Meal bundling came during the ’80s, but McDonalds was already busy making sure kids got their fix of movie-promotion McNuggets by 1979. Today is a good day to supersize. Gizmodo ’79 is a week-long celebration of gadgets and geekdom 30 years ago, as the analog age gave way to…

Star Trek DVD Takes You Aboard The Enterprise

Get Into Tribble-Related Trouble

David Gerrold, author of the infamous “Trouble With Tribbles” Star Trek episode, has done a charmingly silly video spot about how you can get a free tribble at Comic-Con. And then take weird pictures of yourself with it for him. Sometimes a viral marketing campaign gets so weird that it becomes its own art form.

Star Trek Review

Star Trek: The Motion Picture isn’t just a film that should be important to original series fans, but it’s a film that’s influenced media (Star Trek or otherwise) for the next 30 years.

How Star Trek Was Sold Around The World

J.J. Abrams’ Star Trek reboot is the most successful Trek movie ever internationally… but is that because international audiences didn’t know what they were going to see? In different countries, targeted publicity tries to make Trek into different movies. Variety reported on the variations in Trek marketing for different regions: In Mexico and Russia, for…

Science Fiction’s Greatest Legal Minds – Revealed!

If the countless works of science fiction can agree on one thing, it’s that the future isn’t perfect. And, on the rare occasion when disputes can’t be solved with an epic starship battle, it’s time to bring in the lawyers. I think there’s an argument to be made that lawyers are underrepresented in science fiction,…

Is Superman Really Damaged Goods?

One of the more troubling things to come out of the Siegel/Warners/DC lawsuit decision this week was the feeling that everyone involved in creating Superman stories has already decided that the character is broken. Is Superman’s failure a self-fulfilling prophecy? Perhaps the most damning part of the decision document was the revelation that executives at…

Will Old Spock Reappear In The Next Trek Movie?

Think that Leonard Nimoy was in JJ Abrams‘ Star Trek as a way of appeasing old fans and passing the torch onto the new cast, only to never be seen again? Think again: Nimoy is open to reprising the character. Talking to SciFi Wire, Nimoy hinted that, depending on what the writers end up planning,…

It’s no secret this summer’s list of blockbusters has been a lackluster collection of underachievers. But who’s to blame for this debacle? We point a stern finger at the weak collection of villains.
