When IDW announced its latest Star Trek comic, The Last Starship, much of the focus was on the fact that the series would, somehow, resurrect Captain James T. Kirk for a story set in the 31st-century timeline introduced in Star Trek: Discovery. Now the series is here; the premise is much more than nostalgia for the original Trek […]
The ‘Star Trek’ Anniversary Float Will Put Its Most Beloved Location on Parade
Your eyes do not deceive you: those are indeed the iconic Vasquez Rocks taking their place on the Star Trek float rendering ahead of its debut at the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day. Squint and use your imagination, and you can almost spot Captain Kirk battling the Gorn alongside them. The rock formations—which couldn’t […]
‘Magic: The Gathering’ Is Boldly Going to ‘Star Trek’ Next Year
At MagicCon Atlanta today, Wizards of the Coast lifted the lid on its plans for the next year of Magic: The Gathering, and after the whirlwind success of Final Fantasy earlier this year, the Universes Beyond sets are not going away any time soon: if anything, they’re going further and further beyond, where no one has gone […]
Get a Fascinating Look at Some of Nacelle’s New ‘Star Trek’ Figures
Even without a single one of them actually released and in our grubby little hands yet, the thing we love most about Nacelle’s line of Star Trek action figures is the company’s willingness to get as weird and dorky about its lineup as any Trekkie would. Picard and Kirk before calling it a day? Not here: […]

‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Needs to Imagine More for Its Female Characters
Star Trek‘s utopian vision for an equal society, especially in terms of gender equality, has always been a complicated aspect of its idealized vision. It’s true that the franchise has a legacy of beloved, nuanced female characters and has championed putting those characters in the spotlight over six decades of storytelling. But it’s equally true […]
Noah Hawley Elaborates (a Little) on His Never-Made ‘Star Trek’ Movie
As Star Trek eases out of its TV revival era, winnowing down its number of series to just a handful (Strange New Worlds, the upcoming Starfleet Academy), Paramount has signaled fresh interest in returning the stalwart sci-fi franchise to the big screen. As fans know, it’s been trying to make that move for years now, […]
Oh Dear, ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’
At San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Paramount teased our very first look at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds‘ third season with a clip that proved to be rather baffling. A contextless gag that saw Pike, Chapel, La’an, and Uhura seemingly permanently transformed into Vulcans, the clip immediately sparked discussion about the Vulcan crew’s sudden racially prejudiced treatment […]
‘Star Trek’ Journalists, Ranked
The potential for what journalism looks like in Star Trek is a heady idea that’s been around as long as the series itself. What does reporting the news look like in utopia?
