Technically she’s the Reaper and not death itself, but I just want to say that I adore Bernadette from Death Vigil.

So, that Slashfilm article linked under the blurb about the Beastie Boys music in the Star Trek Beyond trailer is actually an extended interview with Justin Lin, where he addresses not just the music but the entire trailer and the film itself. I’m really glad I clicked it, and would encourage any fellow Trekkies with…

(OH MY GOD NEW STAR TREK NEW STAR TREK whew ok I’m calm, it’s cool.)

Eh, if the Overlords were just interacting with America,* that would make great sense. But they’re here on a global mission. The UN may not command a great deal of respect right now, but symbolically it’s the closest thing we’ve got to a world government. Speaking to the Secretary General at least signals that the…

Wow. Some of the comments on this article are really surprising to me. I read the book ages ago (I think I was 12 or so?) so I don’t remember all the details... but I certainly would not describe it as dystopian, or having a dark ending. My 12-year-old mind was totally blown by the combination of emotions in the…

I have no idea who ROM is, but based on the level of enthusiasm in the comments, I’m suddenly interested.

Clicked in anticipation of Sharktopus references in the comments, and was not disappointed!

“I’m bored” is the problem... but “wolf lady” is clearly the solution!

Welp, this review pretty much confirms the impression I got from the trailer. Too bad.

And that was a mistake, because the audience was like, ‘We know he’s playing Khan.’ That was why it was a mistake.

This was sort of difficult to answer given that my active friend group is almost entirely comprised of people I work with / go to school with.

Oh god, I need a ticket to Tokyo right now.

Oh boy. So when I was in middle school, some genius at the public library decided to shelve a book called Black Juice in the young adult section... it was an anthology of short stories, the first of which (“Singing My Sister Down”) chronicled a boy watching his older sister being slowly executed in a tar pit. Which,…

And after months of rumors and speculation, it’s actually happening—Star Trek is coming back to TV.

Seconded. An honest mistake is not a fraud. The subsequent analysis, showing how a false positive could reasonably arise, provides evidence that it was an honest mistake.

I desperately desire this. Gomez!Master is amazing, evil(?)!Clara would be really interesting, and they have the chemistry to make it work.

Thank goodness; skimming the first page of comments I started to think I was the only person who enjoyed the episode!

I have nothing to say about this except: YES, GOOD. The Master is one of my favorite characters, and Gomez is so far on track to become one of my favorite Masters.

That book wasn’t even good, but dammit, I read it anyway out of sheer stubborn desire to thumb my nose at the death-by-bridge crap.

I think the most important reason that Kirk survives in pop culture is the same reason he’s such a good captain in-universe: he’s a people person. He’s extremely intuitive, persuasive, and optimistic. Kirk’s default approach to people is one of support and encouragement. If he sees someone who’s scared or conflicted,…
