Being an avid reader (most recently I’ve fallen in love with eBooks on my Smartphone), I was thrilled when Outpost Gallifrey put up this listing of the Doctor Who books to come this December on “Boxer Day”.

Forgetting for just a moment that in a strange and (some might say sick) way I’d totally do Nichelle Nichols (no disrespect meant whatsoever) it turns out that Zoe Saldana, the actress who is portraying Uhura in the retcon (ahem) I’m sorry . . . “re-imagined” Trek film, says she wasn’t a Trekkie before she got the role.

To say that this tidbit didn’t find us from under a rock would be an understatement! I was on IESB.com earlier today when I found this little gem. It turns out that my fondest and wildest dreams are about to come true! After several television revamps and a poorly executed live action film. He-Man is on his way back to the big screen…hopefully.

The actor, who shot to fame as Captain Kirk in the original 1960s TV show, states tensions built up between himself and Nimoy after the dueling pair indulged in a bout of verbal spats on set.
Where No Fan Has Gone Before…

Well for a mediocre fan film I must say that I’m shocked that this series is getting this sort of treatment. It turns out that Slice Of Scifi has reported that the fan film STAR TREK FARRAGUT is getting its own version of the 1974 STAR TREK ANIMATED SERIES.

Oh yes friends…not only does he do the film equivalent of spooky sleight-of-hand, but M. Night Shyamalan has been tapped to bring the first of what promises to be a quadrilogy of ‘Avatar: The Last Air bender’ to the big screen.
