This cool infographic was made by Cody Johnson and it is a tribute to the original series. It shows Gene Roddenberry along with the crew and has all kinds of facts about the original Star Trek.
Everything from how the Jeffries got their name to when the series first aired. Cool art with some fun facts. I love the retro design.
This fun video shows off how robots evolved in movies and TV. Nowadays Sci-Fi flicks just aren’t complete unless they feature robots. That’s cool, because we love robots around here. Some of the best movies of all time have robots. The artwork is from Scott Park and Sploid turned his work into a cool video.
Sit back and enjoy the evolution of these synthetic beings. It makes me wonder what kind of robots we will see next.

Head on over to Milk’s Vimeo page to see the video. It is a fun look behind the scenes at this past season’s VFX.
Remember those hands with the eyes on Skaro? The snake man with the face that twisted like a puzzle? The Zygons? It’s all here. They don’t go into great detail on how these shots were done, but you will get a good idea how the scenes were shot, what was added digitally etc.

This handy infographic comes from Wallpaperdirect. It shows some of the Doctor’s most fearsome villains and the Doctors who faced off against them! It’s pretty awesome. It is updated until season 9, but covers a lot of ground. Obviously a lot of bad guys are left out, but this is just a highlight of some of the best and most dangerous.
Star Trek’s 50th anniversary is next year, and so Roddenberry Entertainment has announced that next year they will be releasing a ton of rare photos, memos, script pages, documents and more from their archives. One can only imagine what is in those archives. It is a treasure trove of Trek.
They are calling this “The 366 Project,” and starting in 2016 they will release one piece of Star Trek history on their social media channel every single day. So over that year, we will have 366 pieces of historical Trek artifacts in total. I can’t wait to see what is coming. There should be a lot of good stuff in there.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was a really bad show. Let’s be honest. The 80s were a strange time and a lot of weird stuff happened. Now that doesn’t mean that I don’t have love for this show. It gave us a lot of cool and fun stuff like Twiki, Hawk, and some cool starships. So, bad as it is, it still holds a special place in my heart. That’s why I am drooling over this Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Starfighter Limited Edition 1:24 Scale Statue.
It is cast from the original studio scale patterns and comes fully wired to light the engines and the interior console. It really is a beautiful ship. Buck Rogers is in the cockpit! This stunning replica statue measures 22-inches long x 13-inches wide x 9-inches tall when on the base, and is limited to only 200 pieces worldwide!

This book is full of rarely seen photos and illustrations. It also has tons of information not commonly known and many stories that were previously untold.It is the perfect companion book to Star Trek 365: The Original Series Book.
This is a fun and fascinating video that takes a look at the evolution of Batman’s home, Gotham City. Evan Puschak (The Nerdwriter) explores the city in this seven-minute video essay. This is well worth your time. I don’t think I have ever seen an examination of Gotham like this one. It offers a lot of food for thought if you are a Batman fan.
Gotham is as much a character as Batman himself and just as fascinating, with a history just as rich as the Caped Crusader’s. After all, they are forever intertwined. Did Gotham create Batman? Did Batman create the hellish out of control version of Gotham? Maybe the real question is if they can save each other.
