Star Trek Problems: Welcome to DS9

Vincent’s Comments: While Chris jokes around with DS9, we both agree that it is arguably the best Star Trek series even though there’s a Space Jew in it.

Toy Hunt: NECAs Dutch, Robocop, and Predator!

I’m on a bit of a NECA Toys kick lately, since I realized how sweet it is to be able to own pop culture icons from the 1980s all in the same scale. Read on to see three of the NECA figures I’ve aquired recently: Jungle Patrol Dutch, Robocop with Spring Loaded [...]

Star Trek Problems: Its Continuing Mission

Vincent’s Comments: You know what? That J.J. Abrams sure knows Star Trek. His Star Trek movies captures EXACTLY what Star Trek is all about, blowing up shit and fighting aliens. I’m really glad this property was put into the hands of someone who wouldn’t cheapen it and keep it’s true to it’s original vision [...]

Ender’s Game Trailer and some Thoughts on Orson Scott Card

Well the first trailer for Ender’s Game is here and boy, do I have some thoughts.

For the uninitiated, Ender’s Game is a science fiction novel that practically all sci-fi reading nerds have read and loved. There has been rumors or actual movies in the works for years and years and [...]

Star Trek Problems: Yamok Sauce

Vincent’s Comments: Today’s Star Trek Problems boldly goes where no Star Trek Problems has gone before! This time we get a look at the problems on board Deep Space 9 aka DS9. I missed out on DS9 when it first came out. I thought it was boring. Only later did I catch up on [...]

Star Trek Problems: Catch Phrases

Vincent’s Comments: Wow, today’s Star Trek Problems really made me “bust a gut” as the kids say. Worf totally seems like the type to go half cocked with a poorly thought out plan like this. Too bad they could never use this kind of language on Star Trek: The Next Generation.

Friday Round Up: Star Wars, Robotech, Alien, and Bravestarr!

Movie Stuff

Patton Oswalt: Patton Oswalt went on an unscripted rant about what the next Star Wars film should be on Parks and Rec and the internet lost it’s shit. It was amusing to some extent, but I feel like there was huge over reaction on this one. It’s like I’m the [...]

Star Trek Problems: Beam Me Outta Here

Vincent’s Comments: Wow, Chris really nailed this Star Trek problem. I never really thought about how beaming worked until a few years ago when I was reading some sort of pretend technical guide to the Enterprise. This is essentially what happens on Star Trek. It’s crazy.

Star Trek Problems: Command Structure

Vincent’s Comments: This is an older one by Chris, but still one one that I really like. I’m fairly certain that this is how command works in Star Trek: The Next Generation. You see it’s funny, because it’s true.
