First Contact: The Last Best Star Trek Film?

01.02.2016 –This year marks the 50th anniversary of Star Trek and the new film “Star Trek Beyond” is the big thing fans are hoping to see. The first teaser trailer was somewhat mixed due to its content that inspired another sci-fi film.

But for those who have seen the previous films and television series they would say this is not Star Trek. There will be debates but like a Vulcan with an open mind some would just accept it as the way things has changed since JJ Abrams rebooted the franchise back in 2009. Yes this is the current Star Trek but for those who know Abrams would recall he was more of a Star Wars fan.

When you talk about Star Trek some would be too excited not about the old films and television series, but the current one and for the longest time Trekkies would silently just accept this.

Though the truth is the true Star Trek was not about phaser pistols blazing of the Enterprise getting blown up again it’s about space exploration and more about what the franchise is all about. There would be some individuals going to start an argument or a healthy discussion what is Star Trek.

Leonard Nimoy, Lived Long & Prospered 1931-2015.

02.28.2015 – If you haven’t been informed in the trending news Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy has passed away he was 83 years old.

For those who have heard of his name and his recent roles in television (Fringe) and the last two Star Trek films, JJ Abrams’ “Star Trek” and Star “Trek Into Darkness” should know by now his great influence.

DLD Tribute: Mr. Spock Rememebred (1931-2015)!

Captain Spock has sadly indeed gone to explore the final frontier (Leonard Simon Nimoy - March 26, 1931 - February 27, 2015). At 83 Terran years of age, Captain Spock, now Ambassador Spock, finally succumbed to end-stage chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. He is survived by his wife, Susan, and his two children: Adam and Julie. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

We will always remember him as one of the best - if not the best - Captain of the Enterprise.

We're consumed with grief right now, but even with his death find ourselves comforted by Captain Spock's words from Wrath of Khan:


Spock:  "Do not grieve, admiral. It is logical. The needs of the many outweigh ..."
Kirk: "the needs of the few,"
Spock: "Or the one ..." I never took the Kobayashi Maru test, until now... What do you think of my solution?"

Spock: ""I have been and always shall be your friend. Live long and prosper."

His soul was indeed the most "human."

Space Seed: Where Khan Begins!

05.26.2013 – Star Trek: The Original Series never got the highest rating in the 1960s but it has built itself a cult following that preceded with the revival in the big screening in The Motion Picture.

But the status of the franchise would put itself up one more notch when they brought in The Wrath of Khan.

The one true villain that put Star Trek in the map of science fiction mythos thanks to the memorable performance of the late great Ricardo Montalban. Any Trekkie, casual or even passing fan would be familiar with this poetic tyrant.

Graham Norton Show: Battle of the Action Figures!

10.01.2012 – Graham Norton Show is popular in the UK and North America with his humor and some geeky related topics that feature some of the popular actors and personalities from movies and television and early this year one episode would definitely caught your attention.



The show might not be shown in the Philippines or in selected parts of Asia but surely a segment gets syndicated via You Tube. The Philippines very own comic book artist Gerry Alanguilan was a subject matter for one particular segment with his “Hey Baby!” viral popularity.
