A Closer Look At Star Trek: Discovery’s Phasers

A Closer Look At Star Trek Discovery's Phasers
The official Star Trek: Discovery Twitter page has shared a close up look at the phasers that will be featured in Star Trek: Discovery. The new phasers are very reminiscent of the one’s from “The Cage”, with a more modern look.

Set 10 years prior to the five-year mission of the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: Discovery follows the adventures of Starfleet on their missions to discover new worlds and new lifeforms, and one Starfleet officer who must learn that to truly understand all things alien, you must first understand yourself. The series will feature a new ship, new characters, and new missions while embracing the same ideology and hope for the future that inspired a generation of dreamers and doers.

Star Trek: Discovery will premiere on September 24.

Star Trek: Discovery Gets A Premiere Date

Star Trek: Discovery Gets A Premiere Date
CBS All Access has announced that Star Trek: Discovery will premiere on Sunday, September, 24th. They even released a motion poster that you can check out below. It features the U.S.S. Discovery in flight.

Other news is that the 15-episode first season will be split into two. The first eight episodes will air on Sundays from September 24th through November 5th. The season then will resume in January 2018. I’m trying to keep an open mind about this show, but they make it hard. It just seems like they are failing on every level here. BUT, fingers crossed that somehow it is a good Star Trek. I can’t see how, but one can only hope.

First Star Trek: Discovery Trailer

First Star Trek Discovery Trailer
We have waited long enough. Now we finally have a trailer for Star Trek: Discovery. I really like what I see, but at the same time, in a way, it doesn’t feel like Star Trek. That may be a good thing. Time will tell. This is a great first trailer in any event and I want to see more. A couple of things: The Klingons are… Strange. What’s with the lens flares? Between that and other visual cues, this feels like New-Trek. Hmmmm. The level of technology and polished look of everything seems off for just 10 years before Kirk and Crew. Still, I’ll see where they take things before I complain too loudly.

Doctor Who 8th Doctor Sixth Scale Figure

Doctor Who 8th Doctor Sixth Scale Figure
The Doctor regenerated into his eighth incarnation in a hospital morgue on December 31, 1999. The Eighth Doctor was one that we didn’t get to see much of on screen, but his legend endures. The Eighth Doctor was last seen trying to avoid fighting in the Time War. He was killed in a spaceship crash on Karn and temporarily revived by its Sisterhood. You really have to love this version of the Time Lord. And this all-new 1:6 Scale Collector Figure from BIG Chief Studios is a marvelous piece that gets it right. Each figure has an uncanny likeness of Paul McGann in his frock coat three-piece suit from the TV Movie. This 8th Doctor sixth scale figure comes packed with plenty of accessories including: a key to the TARDIS; Beryllium Chip; Sonic Screwdriver; bag of Jelly Baby Sweets; Magnifying Glass and more. Get this one while you can.

New Trailer For Doctor Who Season 10

New Trailer For Doctor Who Season 10
Season 10 of Doctor Who is almost here. It’s been a long wait. Now we have a brand new trailer for Peter Capaldi and Steven Moffat’s last season of Doctor Who season 10 and there is a lot of weirdness, which is not all that unusual for the show. It looks like we have a lot of cool stuff to look forward to. There are the old-school, cloth-faced Cybermen from the 1960s, Missy, Female ice warriors, a human-looking girl who says “exterminate” like a Dalek and more. There are many other things to see as well. It is jampacked with cool stuff.

Doctor Who Is Bringing Back the Original 1960s Cybermen

Doctor Who Is Bringing Back the Original 1960s Cybermen
The new era of Doctor Who has had many episodes featuring the Cybermen, but these Cybermen were not the original monsters from the classic series. Just parallel world versions. However the original 1960s Cybermen are finally coming back. The BBC has officially announced that the Mondasian Cybermen will appear in episodes 11 and 12 of Peter Capaldi’s final season of Doctor Who. Which likely means one heck of an adventure that will end with his regeneration. It’s about time they came back. They are far creepier than the current “Iron Man” Cybermen in New era Who.
