Star Trek Into Darkness Goes, and Goes, Just Not Very Boldly

by Zoe Chevat | 11:03 am, May 20th, 2013

Into Darkness, that colon-less second installment of New Trek kicking off the summer season is a lot of things, including plentifully humorous, bombastic, well-designed, and confused about its purpose. Like the villain that menaced us from all those teaser posters, Into Darkness makes us wonder what, ultimately, it’s up to. Identity is a key factor to wonder about as, two movies in, even casual Trekkie patience is worn thin by a stream of visual and idealistic incursions that belong to other films. Make no mistake; Into Darkness is a good popcorn-crunching experience, swift on its feet and full of action and jokes. It’s just not, like its predecessor, much of a Star Trek film.

Ensign, take us to SPOILERS.

I Guess This Charming Leonard Nimoy/Zachary Quinto Sketch is a Car Commercial Or Something

by Susana Polo | 1:11 pm, May 7th, 2013

Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy shill for Audi, but you’ll forgive them after you watch this video full of fake coughing, nerve pinches, and even everybody’s furry footed hero.

Star Trek’s Uhura And Spock Were Supposed To Hook Up Years Ago, Then William Shatner Pulled Rank

by Jill Pantozzi | 4:00 pm, April 20th, 2013

Well this is a surprise. We all know about the interracial kiss that rocked the world on Star Trek on November 22, 1968 but did you know that kiss was originally supposed to be between Uhura and Spock, not Uhura and Kirk?

Leonard Nimoy Circa 1981 Wants You To Buy a PlayStation 4 [VIDEO]

by Rebecca Pahle | 5:45 pm, February 22nd, 2013

And who are you not to take the advice of Leonard Nimoy circa 1981 when he tells you what gaming console to buy? Honestly. That moustache and those stunning graphics would not lie to you.

To Boldly Go

Star Trek’s Leonard Nimoy Narrates NASA Asteroid Video

by Jill Pantozzi | 5:43 pm, January 7th, 2013

I’m convinced having Leonard Nimoy doing voiceovers for space videos is the only way to go. Here he is now narrating a video about NASA’s Dawn mission. It’s goal is to study two of our universe’s largest aesteroids – Ceres and Vesta (though the Doctor Who fan in me keeps seeing Vastra instead of Vesta). Enjoy the dulcet tones of Nimoy as you travel into the beyond…

Happy Hobbit Day!

by Susana Polo | 9:34 am, December 14th, 2012

Surely now is a great time to be a Lord of the Rings fan, a time when the movies are a household name. But there was a time when the books were a cult phenomenon in the U.S., when Frodo Lives! was a slogan of the hippie movement and scrawled across buildings as graffiti. While there’s something undeniably romantic about a nerd bastion like The Lord of the Rings worming itself into culture at that level, well, it was also the environment that created this video.

Leonard Nimoy is Very Sad That Fringe Didn’t Get Any Emmy Nominations

by Alanna Bennett | 2:50 pm, July 20th, 2012

Emmy nomination time is tough for a lot of people. For sci-fi/fantasy shows, though, it can be a particularly irritating reminder of how underappreciated their work remains to be. This is something veteran sci-fi icon Leonard Nimoy‘s had to face for over fifty years. He’s being pretty vocal about it, too; the actor’s taken to the web to express his disappointment in Hollywood for snubbing Fox sci-fi show Fringe.
