This ("new crews") is the kind of thing that makes me hopeful. One thing Trek needs to do is break out of its long-time narrative formula of one captain, one crew, one ship. A Trek series that bounces around and showcases a wide variety of locales and character threads would be something new.

I like "Where No Man…" all right, but the prominence of Mitchell and Dehner, especially in the final act, drags too much of the spotlight away from the regulars.

Not sure I want to see them make a full TV series out of Faber's excellent novel (which had only a handful of real characters and a pointed lack of traditional sci-fi action), but I will say this much:

No more Uncharted 4 because I finished that last weekend. A smooth, scenic ride, that series.

Slow Club is, of course, the name of the club where Isabella Rossellini sings in Blue Velvet.

Ugh, I didn't notice this was Disney until you pointed it out. You've now diminished roughly 25-50% of my optimism, thanks!

I think you mean L'Engle (unless you're contrasting her with LeGuin). I don't think the L'Engle books are perfect, but they definitely grabbed me as a kid because they had such a deeply emotional current, enveloped in some freakily cosmic, almost dreamlike sci-fi of a kind I didn't see in the male-written Golden Age…

It's at least a milestone, if not a triumph.

There are indeed talking animals in the story, in the form of alien centaurs and blind, alien "beasts". And they will definitely need CGI to depict the space travel and other planets seen therein.

I probably read it thirty times as a kid. Not just claiming.

If the first installment is successful, I can see DuVernay or someone else continuing on with the rest of the trilogy, A Wind in the Door and A Swiftly Tilting Planet. Each of those have wildly different premises and settings from the first book (although the very fate of the world is imperiled in each) and I can…

Even apart from Ms. DuVurnay's achievement, I'm also kind of excited just over the project itself. A Wrinkle In Time has never been adapted properly for the big screen, and I'm hoping this could be both a definitive take at last and something that could benefit from a new 21st century approach.

Agreed. He has to punch someone.

When Ditko was drawing the earliest Doctor Strange stories, it was 1963, and he was well ahead of the curve of psychedelia as represented in pop art and pop culture. Moreover, Ditko's style had been evolving in that fashion since at least his weird late '50s sci-fi work, if not before, and it was as wholly a creation…

Nobody actually "has" to watch her perform, and your equivalence of those two things is disturbing.

TOS did have its share of action, and even its attempts at social relevance could be ham-handed, but any sampling of more than a handful of episodes will reveal that TOS was actually seriously about something; it often tried to tell stories that resolved questions of societies, and the way people live. TNG and the…

That headline.

I Kant Hardly Wait for that!

The Trek comic has also had recent crossovers with Doctor Who and Planet of the Apes.
