To Boldly Go Where All Shows Have Gone Before: 'Star Trek: Discovery' Was Supposed To Be An Anthology Series
The world of Star Trek is getting some new life later this year, and CBS is boldly taking us where no series has gone before (apart from Enterprise) to chart the earlier days of Starfleet in Star Trek: Discovery. An all-star cast of Michelle Yeoh, Jason Isaacs, and Sonequa Martin-Green will take to the bridge alongside some slick visuals and a faithful homage to Gene Roddenberry's '60s masterpiece.

Not All Trekkies Are Paying: 'Star Trek: Discovery' Pilot Becomes Most Pirated Episode Within 24 Hours
Star Trek fans are a devoted lot. They will shell out the $10-$15 to see a new movie about their beloved U.S.S. Enterprise as shown by the last few Star Trek movies. However, when they are already paying for cable television and a streaming platform or two, fans aren't interested in another monthly payment for another proprietary service in order to watch new episodes of a series they're not quite sure about yet.

William Shatner Had No Idea That Leonard Nimoy Would Return To The Star Trek Franchise After 'Wrath Of Khan'
It's been thirty-five years since Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan debuted in movie theaters, and viewers witnessed one of the most powerful on-screen deaths in sci-fi history when half-Vulcan Spock sacrificed himself to save the U.S.S. Enterprise. The scene was made more intense by the belief that Leonard Nimoy really was leaving the role he'd made unforgettable.

'Star Trek: Discovery' Will Klingon To Ex-Showrunner Bryan Fuller's Ideas Even Though He Beamed Up For A New Enterprise
When Bryan Fuller, the creative mind behind Pushing Daisies, Hannibal and American Gods, stepped down as the showrunner for Star Trek Discovery in October 2016, there were concerns about whether the show had lost power to its rear thrusters. Would it still bear the marks of its creator, or would everything Fuller had written be reimagined?

Exploring The Seven Kling-Doms: 'Game Of Thrones' Influenced 'Star Trek: Discovery' And Now No One Is Safe
Death comes to us all, especially in the land of television, but nowhere is it more prevalent than on HBO's Game of Thrones. In the time before Thrones butchered all and sundry, most TV spectacles were reserved for the odd big death that had us reaching for the tissues. From Charlie on LOST to George O'Malley on Grey's Anatomy, Adriana on The Sopranos and Maude Flanders on The Simpsons, death was a big shocker from which we thankfully had time to recuperate.

'Star Trek'—Celebrating 50 Years of Logical Friendship
When I saw the original Star Trek for the first time, it had already been off the air for several years. Though much time had passed, the show captured my attention like it must have the original Trekkies back in 1966. Though the space and science fascinated me, the characters drew me in more. I couldn't imagine a human and a half-alien being best friends.

'Star Trek Beyond' Says An Honorable Goodbye To Ambassador Spock
Warning: This Post Contains Spoilers for Star Trek Beyond! Read At Your Own Risk! I honestly didn't want to watch this movie simply because I knew there would be a huge void. In February 2015, we'd lost our beloved Spock, and I didn't know how his death would be handled. And I wasn't ready for the final goodbye. But, tonight, I decided to take a chance and sit through what I hoped would be an honorable goodbye to a distinguished actor and character.

Women in Space
I grew up watching Star Trek. My father watched it almost religiously whenever it came on TV. I, as a kid, thought it was awesome. I thought I was so cool watching this show about over-dramatic people traveling through space and, occasionally, shooting lasers at each other and alien lifeforms. My phaser was always set to kill.

In Space, Star Treks You: Is Gene Roddenberry's Vision For The Future Communist?
#GeneRoddenberry dreamed of a better world when he created Star Trek: A utopian society with no need for money, where war and disease were distant memories.

'Star Trek: Discovery' Theme Pays Tribute To The Past While Looking To The Future
Have you heard? The new opening theme for Star Trek: Discovery has been released – and it's great.
