Netflix has just added lots of Star Trek to it’s streaming line up. The Original Series, The Next Generation, Voyager and Enterprise are all available. All the episodes are available. Deep Space Nine is suppose to be available later this year. I’m not sure about the Animated Series. It looks like they have taken all the movies off streaming except for the J.J. Abrams reboot

Star Trek: Khan: Ruling in Hell

I just got finished reading the 4 part comic from IDW called Star Trek: Khan – Ruling in Hell. It is about Khan and his follower’s time on Ceti Alpha V. It is a pretty good series. I probably would have liked it a lot better if I had not read Star Trek: The Original Series: Khan #3: To Reign in Hell already. If you haven’t read the book it is definitely worth picking up the comic. Here are the covers for the comics & the book.

New Star Trek on Netflix streaming

ray — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 22:10:39 +0000

For a while the only Star Trek on Netflix streaming was The Original Series Season 1. Looks like that has been taken down and replaced with Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home and Star Trek: First Contact. Hopefully they’ll add more soon.

The Wesley Crushers

I need this shirt! This is from the latest episode of The Big Bang Theory entitled “The Wheaton Recurrence”. This is the first episode I have ever watched, and we only watched it because my wife hearts Wil Wheaton. We may end up watching more episodes, since we are both geeks.

Deep Space Nine comics are back

ray — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:48:14 +0000

IDW Publishing has announced that DS9 will be back in comics starting tomorrow with the release of its new series “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”. The first issue is “Fool’s Gold!”. Here is the description from IDW: Captain Sisko and the crew of Deep Space Nine make their triumphant return to comics! When the station begins to be overrun by thieves, treasure-seekers, bounty-hunters and other assorted ne’er-do-wells, Major Kira and Constable Odo must find out why. Can they get to the bottom of it before the station’s new visitors bring things to a boiling point?! It says Captain Sisko so I am not real sure when the comics are set and the IDW site didn’t make it real clear. Be sure to check it out. Let us know what you think.

Star Trek – Ode to the Original Series

ray — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 23:24:53 +0000

Star Trek 11 from director JJ Abrams had many odes to the original series. Hopefully you saw most of them, if not now that Star Trek is out on DVD it is the perfect time time to go back and watch the movie and look for them. Here are some of my favorites. These are in no particular order. 1) Captain Pike being in a wheelchair. Ode to “The Menagerie”. 2) A tribble when we first meet Scotty. Ode to “The Trouble With Tribbles”. 3) The Red Shirt dies when Kirk & Sulu jump down to the mining rig of the Narada. Ode to many episodes. 4) The Kobayashi Maru. Technically an Ode to Star Trek II, not the Original Series. 5) Kirk “befriending” an Orion woman. Ode to many episodes. 6) Sulu being able to fence. Ode to “The Naked Time”. 7) Chekov’s accent. Ode to many episodes. What are your favorite Ode’s to the Original Series?

Over on StarTrekMovie.com they have a really cool model gallery of the Enterprise. Looks like they will be introducing a total of 25 of them. So far they have 17 of them up. This one is my favorite #10.

Star Trek: The Experience Closing

ray — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:21:26 +0000

Star Trek: The Experience is closing September 1st. This is sad news for me since I was planning a trip to Las Vegas next June to see it. This is also kinda weird timing since there is a new movie coming out in less than a year, which should boost the number of visitors considerably.

Most people have seen Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and even Space Seed. There is more however to Khan’s story. A series of 3 books and another episode of Star Trek. I have read the first 2 books and I enjoyed them, of course I am also a sucker for prequels, and these ones are done pretty well.

Book – The Eugenics Wars Vol. 2: The Rise and Fall of Khan Noonien Singh

Episode – Space Seed

Book – To Reign in Hell: The Exile of Khan Noonien Singh

Movie – Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

As a side note the pitcure for this article is a fairly recent creation from Art Asylum.
