Today I’m going to diverge a bit from my usual spiel, but not by much. Oh, who the hell am I kidding? This is pretty much par for the course at this point. Last week millions of us bore witness to the Republican National Convention, a subsidiary of Trump. One of the points that was…
Kirk: We make a good team Spock: Yes, we do. Bones: We could be mauled to death by an interstellar monster! Kirk: Thatâs the spirit, Bones. Considering today is Monday the 25th and Star Trek: Beyond came out only three days ago, how much can I tell you about it without doing the dreaded HERE…
The third installment of the rebooted Star Trek franchise, Beyond, is set to hit theaters July 22nd. It’s been announced that in this film that Hikaru Sulu, portrayed by actor John Cho, will be revealed as gay.

This past weekend, fellow ComicMix columnist Molly Jackson and I went to see Allegiance on Broadway starring Lea Salonga, Telly Leung and George Takei.

In October, one gay icon meets another, in Archie Comics. Kevin Keller #6 will co-star George Takei, best known as Lieutenant Sulu.

The new season of CELEBRITY APPRENTICE is loaded with dramatic personalities and we’ve got two right here. STAR TREK Alumni George Takei and actress Tia Carrere join Donald Trump to talk about what we can expect on the show in the next few weeks. Plus was that a WALKING DEAD spoiler we saw? The Point…
Finally, we have the solution to all the problems currently bedeviling Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark… we’ll get George Takei to play the lead part. He certainly has a fan following from his time in Star Trek, Heroes, and the original cowboys and aliens film, Oblivion. However, while I think Broadway is finally willing to…
Tomorrow is the day you’re supposed to officially fill out the US Census. As you should know, the Census is used to determine allocation of House seats, electoral votes, and federal funding relating to transportation, agriculture, health, education, and housing. But there are other reasons to fill out the form as well, and I’ll let…
Ohhh my. George Takei. Captain Hikaru Sulu. Kaito Nakamura. The Warlord Shank. Announcer for the Howard Stern Show. Lok Durd in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Activist. Asteroid. And, oh yes, comic book writer. He’s 72 years old today. Long may he wave.
George Takei has flown Down Under to become the oldest contestant on the British edition of I’m A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here. “I’m physically fit. I used to run marathons, now I work out every day,” he told the Daily Mirror. Of the grueling challenges awaiting him in the Outback,…
George Takei, known for his roles on Star Trek and Heroes, as well as co-writing Star Trek comics with Peter David, was the first to pay $70 for a same-sex marriage license in West Hollywood early today.

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…
