Don't be mislead by the Headline, oh and this review WILL contain spoilers, so if you haven't seen the movie yet I suggest you finish off this paragraph then go see it. Again this review … more
J.J. Abrams made quite a splash when he released 2009’s “Star Trek”. I suppose it was the right approach to revitalize the franchise, by creating a re-boot that gave him all the needed … more
I don't know what the critics were saying in their preliminary reviews. I loved this film from start to finish and am looking forward to the next installment. As the whole universe changed … more
I'm taking a risk in saying I actually liked Star Trek into Darkness. On a website such as Lunch.com where liking just about any damn mainstream movie (let alone J.J. Abrams) is considered not … more
Star Trek (2009) re-ignited the Trek world and set it on fire. Loved it or hated it, no one can deny what a reboot and shot in the arm it was for what was a tired series. The worst thing that … more
By Joan Alperin Schwartz The boys are back...Capt. Kirk (Chris Pine), Spock (Zachary Quinto), Scotty (Simon Pegg), Chekov (Anton Yelchin), Bones (Karl Urban), Sulu (John Cho) and Uhura (Zoe … more
I’ve already heaped plenty of praise on the story that was STAR TREK: COUNTDOWN – the four-part comic book story published by IDW Comics that, literally, set the stage for the … more
What was your first impression? Very negative Plot summary? A new cast of the characters having the same name is introduced with a new storyline. Kirk and Spock forge … more
I should start this review by disclaiming a remarkable fact: I purchased the complete series of Star Trek Enterprise a few years back without ever having watched a single episode of the show during its … more
In early 2009, IDW Comics launched a terrific mini-series called STAR TREK: COUNTDOWN. I couldn’t say how many comic book readers or Star Trek fans read it, but my … more
Crossovers are not always an easy sell. What might look like a stroke of genius bringing two separate worlds together on the face of it could just as easily backfire, leaving … more
You’ll have to pardon me if I seem a bit cynical, but I, like an awful lot of other STAR TREK fans, aren’t exactly all that enamored with Brannon Braga. Yes, as a screenwriter, Braga … more
I’ve always loved a great Star Trek book. Not a “good” Star Trek book. But a G-R-E-A-T Star Trek book … and what makes a Trek book into a great Trek book isn’t … more

Trekscribbler reviewed The Captains.
March 13, 2012
It’s charming – as fans of William Shatner will assure you: ‘the Shat’s a charming guy!’ – and that’s the best that can be said for THE CAPTAINS. It’s … more
Balance of Terror is certainly one of the best episodes of the original series. It featured the first major action scenes with the Enterprise in space, it introduced the Romulans which would become … more
You gotta love it when Kirk pontificates on then current events. In any other show, it would be preachy or corny, but somehow Trek makes it work. … more
Another one of those classic Trek episodes that everyone knows about-the one with the insane man who comes aboard and knows something evil is going on down below on the benevolant planet. The head … more
In my years learning about Trek, this one episode always came up. The planet that looks like Earth with all the kids who act strange. The disease. The title of the episode pulled from … more
This episode is a classic. It's the infamous "Good Kirk and Evil Kirk" episode. It's also noteworthy of bringing to light that this is where we get to see both sides of … more
Teenage adolescence is both awesome and horrifying. You start to have sexual feelings, think about the future and enjoy those times with your friends before they leave for school and maybe even … more
In the world of Star Trek, there are many names that come to mind as far as who made the show such as Gene Roddenberry and DC Fontana and Herbert Justman and then of course the stars like William Shatner … more
No one likes clip shows. Even if the clips are good, all it reminds you of why you couldn't be watching the episodes the clips came from instead of the clip show. It's not even like … more
Star Trek The Next Generation may have been a landmark show but looking at it's first two seasons, you wouldn't know that. While things improved slightly in season two before going into … more
Spock's Brain. Offen a contender with "The Way to Eden" as the worst episode of Classic Trek. I much perfer Spock's Brain for many reasons and the chief one being that Spock's … more
I kid, I kid. Rather her in charge then flying the ship. Watch out for that planet in Generations. Season 5 was certainly one of TNG's better years and there … more
