2+ hour, 58+ min ago (335+ words) "Battlestar Galactica" star Edward James Olmos (who played Commander William Adama) previously starred in "Blade Runner," one of the most famous man-versus-machine movies ever (though director Ridley Scott doesn't see the picture as science fiction). The connection was not lost on Olmos, and he even suggested'half-seriously that "Blade Runner" and "Galactica" could share a universe. How? To quote the'Marvel comic "House of X"/"Powers of X" (by Jonathan Hickman, Pepe Larraz, and R.B. Silva): "Artificial intelligence is like fire. It's a discovery, not an invention." In "Galactica," whenever a new human civilization rises, it destroys itself by creating life, and then the cycle repeats.' In the reimagined "Galactica," the Cylons were created by and looked like humans. The human Cylons began as a budget-saving move, per co-creator Ronald D. Moore. At a 2013 Comic-Con, Moore recounted how the costs of both practical Cylon…...

3+ hour, 33+ min ago (556+ words) Paul Giamatti isn't just one of the big-name, Oscar-nominated stars of the next Star Trek series, Starfleet Academy (the other is Holly Hunter). He's also a big Star Trek nerd himself, and he proved it to me when I chatted with him at the CCXP con in S'o Paulo, Brazil, this week. "Seven years old, seven, eight years old," Giamatti immediately responds when asked when his fandom began. "I watched it with my father, who was a fan from the '60s, watching in the '60s. So yeah, I go back, way back." Cut to half a century later, and the actor is standing in front of thousands of fans promoting his own Star Trek show on CCXP's Thunder Stage " the Brazilian con's version of SDCC's Hall H. To rapturous cheers, Giamatti unveiled a clip from the latest series (this is the twelfth Trek…...

5+ hour, 36+ min ago (533+ words) | December 7, 2025 | By: Anthony Pascale 0 comments so far Our successes were becoming ridiculously expected. There was a sense we could do no wrong. But when we first thought of making a movie out of the Star Trek series, which had ended ten years previously and had a relatively small audience, no one in Hollywood could believe that such great geniuses would try to take a middling, long-ago-canceled TV series and turn it into an actual movie. Our self-described "shiny-ass accountant," Art Barron, Paramount's chief financial officer, was obsessed with resurrecting Star Trek. Ever since I arrived at Paramount [in 1974], every once in a while, shyly, given his purely financial position, Art would say to us, "We ought to do something with Star Trek." And every time he brought it up, we ignored him. We thought it'd be ridiculous to make a…...

7+ hour, 43+ min ago (368+ words) The classic "Star Trek" episode "Mirror, Mirror" is one of the series' most high concept stories, and thus one of its most remembered: Captain Kirk (William Shatner) and co. wind up in a parallel universe where Starfleet serves a Terran Empire, not a United Federation of Planets. This "Mirror Universe" has endured as one of most reused settings in "Star Trek." Whenever the best episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise" are counted, "In A Mirror, Darkly" invariably finds a place on that list. It's definitely one of the "Enterprise" episodes that I revisit the most. While the two-parter may not be "Star Trek" at its most cerebral, it is a starship-sized load of entertainment " the kind of fun you can only have while breaking the rules." "In A Mirror Darkly" often feels like a grab bag of Easter eggs. It is…...

Kristi has written for many digital and print publications, including Film Fracture, VOX Magazine Oklahoma, and Oklahoma Music Magazine. 8 Star Trek Episodes With Twists No One Saw Coming "Star Trek" fans have been taken on hundreds of memorable adventures over the decades, from nuanced sociopolitical dramas to weird holodeck LARPing romps and everything in between. While some of the best story arcs in the franchise are long ones spanning several episodes or even seasons, just as many are formulaic one-and-done tales. There are feel-good "Star Trek" episodes to restore your faith in humanity and there are "Star Trek" episodes that are actually horrifying when you consider their implications. Every once in a while, the writers toss audiences a curveball so wild and…...

11+ hour, 34+ min ago (468+ words) While Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has plenty of talented actors taking on familiar franchise characters like Pike, Kirk, and Spock, the show also features its fair share of fresh characters. This includes Christina Chong, whose La'an character (a stern security chief who is learning to show her softer side) often manages to steal each scene she's in. Recently, she discussed her hopes for an official Star Trek/Doctor Who crossover, but her ambitious plan is one that would kill both franchises quicker than you can say "bow ties are cool."

15+ hour, 12+ min ago (466+ words) The USS Athena is finally done with its quiet school days because, in a new sneak peek shown at CCXP in Brazil, Star Trek: Starfleet Academy proves it's not here to give us teen-drama energy at all, to say the least. The preview opens with explosions and cadets screaming while Holly Hunter commands the bridge. So we can imagine if this is our first look at life inside Starfleet's newest class, for the incoming cadets, the "extracurriculars" would likely even include life risks. Perhaps the biggest headline on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy is that the Athena has reached the Badlands, and everything goes to hell from there. The clip at one minute shows us Captain Nahla Ake (Holly Hunter) and first officer Lura Thok (Gina Yashere) prepping students for an academic survey of the Badlands. The Balands for the inverted…...
