Star Trek Cologne “Red Shirt”.. Now You Can Smell Like A Nerd Too!!!

There is a guy out there who thought that this would be a great idea, and somewhere there is a nerd out there who agrees. A new Star Trek cologne called “Red Shirt” is about to hit the market, carrying the tagline “Because tomorrow may never come”. Now I can’t say that I didn’t have a good laugh at this, especially with the inside joke about Red Shirt officers from Star Trek.

I’m just waiting to meet the first guy who slaps this stuff on!!!

Some of this stuff just writes itself.

New Star Trek Movie Trailer Bootleged

Ok, now I'm excited!!!

Check it out before they yank it!!!

LCARS Your House

You've landed on this page because you're either a really big Star Trek fan, or you're morbidly curious about what kind of nerd would want these items. I would like to speak, for a moment, to that first group. Ignore the haters, guys - they don't understand Trek. They don't get how cool it is to travel at Warp 9.975 through the Delta Quadrant, or snapping around a singularity at faster-than-light whipping you into the past, or applying two annular confinement beams slightly out of phase onto a Starfleet officer just as an atmospheric window closed causing a duplicate to materialize on the planet’s surface... The shows were epic, and those poor souls will just have to live in the sad technologically-vapid world they've created for themselves.
You're different - you practically LIVE in the 24th century. You've got a communicator, sure. You may even have tribbles and shirts, but do you have 24th century wall panels? No? Well, step right up, my friends! Why, for just a few strips of latinum, you can decorate your own 21st century domicile with lighting and power wall-plates, complete with LCARS interface designs! Of course, the panels are non-working - probably because our primitive electrical power-systems are incompatible with 24th century technology. Perhaps you need a new phase-inducer, or maybe you can run an EPS purge of the primary relays?

The New (Old) USS Enterprise

Photos of the new Star Trek movie are slowly making there way out to the public, and Entertainment Weekly gives us our first look at the new USS Enterprise. Well, I guess it would technically be the old Enterprise but with some new twists. I'm still intrigued over this movie, but I'm still keeping my guard up for major suckage that this film truly could be.

New Star Trek Photo’s Hit The Net

I’m trying not to get my hopes up for the upcoming Star Trek prequel, as I’ve been very disappointed by these movies before. Now J.J Abrams (the guy who brought you “Lost”) is heading this one up, and does say that hard core fans most likely will be pissed off with this version. Abrams goal is to appeal to a wider audience who may not be familiar with the Star Trek lore, and will not let continuity stand in his way. Now why I can understand and appreciate a revision of a show (i.e “Battlestar Galatica), I’m not sure that this is the way to go with a franchise that has 40 years of developed history behind it.

While I’m not writing it off, it does give me pause.

Well new photos have turned up for the new movie from Empire magazine, and while you can never tell about a movie from a few stills, it certainly shows promise. Now with that kiss of death that I just gave it, watch it suck ass.

Could Star Trek Online be out sooner than expected?

Saw this comic over at GUComics and thought, wow, would that ever be cool, since they had announced that development had stopped and the property sold to Cryptic Studios. Now they had this pop up on their website.

Now, clicking on this just goes to their in development page, but a lot of people are noting that this is one of the old screens from Star Trek Online when it was in development at the now defunct Perpetual Studios.

Where Can a Geek Go for a Getaway

My Wife and I have always enjoyed "Geek Getaways". The last two DragonCon's have been in our home base of Indianapolis, there's always a few Star Trek conventions in Indy or in several cities a few hours away. Our favorite Geek Getaway is in Las Vegas at the "Star Trek Experience"! They have the definitive Star Trek Museum, a few interactive shows that are AWESOME and when you are through with all that you can buy some Romulan Ale and kick back at Quarks! (Romulan Ale is Blue! It's also quite smooth and yummy) They have all the Klingon Delicacies; as well as food from all over the other parts of the known galaxy.
All that being said, I found a wonderful article on "Geek Getaways" on MSN City Guides. This article, written by Sean Mahoney will have you dreaming of places to go you never knew existed! Click here for the story; and let us know which getaway you'd like to go see! If it's not listed here; then make one up and tell us what would be in your "Fantasy Geek Getaway".

Case Closed... I'm firmly in the HD-DVD Camp

Toshiba's done it. They've made a classic style Star Trek Phaser HD-DVD remote control. Need I say more? Check it out here!

First Star Trek Online Screenshot

Shacknews has posted the first known screenshot of the up and coming Star Trek Online. It looks good, but let's hope it doesn't suck.

First Images Of Zachary Quinto As Spock

JFX Online is the first to post photos of young Spock on line for the upcoming Star Trek movie. For fans of the show 'Heroes', you might recognize Zachary Quinto who plays the villain Sylar. But for the latest installment of the Star Trek franchise, he will play one of the most popular characters on the show, Spock. JFX also has other photos, some with minor spoiler locations, so if you're interested hit the jump.

Star Trek is set to hit theaters on Christmas 2008.

Can You Spot the Problem?

Ok folks, There is new news regarding the forthcoming J.J. Abrams Star Trek movie revolving around the original crew, but much younger and in their Starfleet Academy days.
The following report talks about the latest cast member to join the ensemble cast. Let's see if you can find the GLARING ERROR in this story that is totally unacceptable for any Trekkie out there. Oh, and it's not a mistake MSN made; I've seen this reported in several other web sites as well. They better fix this or they are going to lose MAJOR credibility regard one of the most favorite crew members on the Enterprise.

p.s. If no-one points out the GLARING ERROR, I will post it in a day or so. Please give it a shot and leave comments for your guesses. Also, please discuss what effect you think this will have on this installment of the franchise.

Star Trek Coffin: Geek Dirt Nap Never Looked So Good

I'm sorry, this is the funniest thing I've seen in some time.

I can't seem to convince my wife to stick my butt into this when I head to the final frontier, but geeks everywhere can give their corpse the Star Trek treatment. This casket is based off the 'Photon Torpedo' design from 'Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan', and is created by Eternal Image. The piano black coffin has the Federation insignia inside, and handles to carry your geek ass to where all men will go before.

Ultimate geek putter

I so wish I had more time to golf, I love the game, but when you work 6 days a week 10 am to 6 or 8 pm, walking a few miles to chase a ball is the last thing on your mind. The designers didn't actually intend to make this a Star Trek putter at first, but when they saw how the final double-nacelle cylindrical balancing weight design looked so similar to Kirk's baby, they had to go and get Star Trek licensing and make it an official product.



Check it out at Gizmodo.

And The New Captain Kirk Is........

Alright my friends, I'm finally done with two soul sucking all day meetings that were mandatory, so now I can get back to what's really important, geek stuff.

It looks like J.J. Abrams has rounded out the crew of the Enterprise for the next Star Trek movie. And it looks like Chris Pine will play young James T. Kirk for the reboot movie of this franchise. So the cast as of today is:

Zachary Quinto-Young Spock

Leonard Nimoy- Old Spock

Eric Bana-Nero

Simon Pegg-Young Scotty

Anton Yelchin-Young Chekov

Zoe Saldana-Young Uhura

John Cho-Young Sulu

Rumor of Karl Urban playing "Young Bones" is still unconfirmed.
Star Trek is due in theaters on Christmas day 2008.

Thanks to Mania for this information.

Star Trek's Lt. Uhura Joins Heroes

Tim Kring the creator of the hit TV show 'Heroes' must seriously love Star Trek. Not only did he cast George "Sulu" Takei to portray Hiro's father during Season 1, now he's cast Nichelle “Lt. Uhura” Nichols for the upcoming season 2.

Nichols will play Nana, the New Orleans-based grandmother of Monica (who is a new hero this year). Word has it that she will be a main character, but on this show, that doesn't mean you'll be on it very long.

New season begins September 24th, and I can't recommend this show any higher than I have.
