It’s time once again for some Podwits goodness, straight from our mouths to your ears (in a not so disgusting kinda way). This week Dion and J. debate whether or not George Lucas or Shia LaBeouf is the root of all evil and heap lots of gooey praise on the the one and only Joss […]

What I mean by that, in a nutshell, is that Roddenberry had not only been marginalized by Paramount by the time Star […]

Do you know who Bryan Fuller is? According to his IMDB page he is an accomplished figure in television. He’s not a Joss Whedon or a Steven Bochco or a Stephen J. Cannell or a Glen Larson or a Danny Thomas, etc. But he has been attached to some big-name shows in the past like […]

In January 1998, Star Trek: The Experience opened its doors in the Las Vegas Hilton. One part museum, one part ride, one part casino, one part food court, the attraction was supposed to offer visitors the ultimate Star Trek experience. People could walk through Deep Space Nine’s Promenade, grab a drink at Quark’s, walk onto the […]

So many of the images I love were born out of an artist whose work is known by so many, but whose name is not. Ralph McQuarrie created many of the worlds movie and television fans dream of visiting. Our first impressions of the STAR WARS films are thanks to him!
A Lost STAR TREK Episode Surfaces… [UPDATED]
Posted: 24th February 2012 by J. Marcus in Books, Science Fiction, TelevisionTags: Gene L. Coon, Gene Roddenberry, Milton Berle, Norman Spinrad, Star Trek
In my opinion, one of the all-time greatest episodes of the original Star Trek was called “The Doomsday Machine.” Written by Norman Spinrad, it stands as one of the most ambitious entries in the program’s 79-episode run. A new take on Moby Dick (a running theme in the franchise’s history), the episode set the bar very high when it came to […]
