Next month will mark the release of the remastered 10-disc DVD (and HD-DVD) set of the original Star Trek series, and the Trek publicity machine has been busy. We’ve seen an asteroid named for George Takei, both Takei and Nichelle Nichols appearing on Heroes (which also houses the proto-Spock), and the world will even witness…

Some may consider it cruelty to animal companions, some the ultimate tribute. As Hallowe’en approaches once more, Good Housekeeping, of all places, considers pets dressed as Star Wars characters. Sundance here is probably my favorite: "I find your lack of cheezburger disturbing…"
This is why we’re sometimes reticent to pass along casting call news. Everyone beleived Variety when they said that Jessica Biel’s talks to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming Justice League movie were solid and the real thing and so on. We even found you a photo of Biel in a WW t-shirt to seal…
With all the talk about the Canadian dollar reaching par with its American counterpart, now would seem the perfect time for a US animation studio to branch northward.
