“Star Trek (2009)” podcast – Greatest Science Fiction Film Tournament
The first of our podcasts about contenders in the Greatest Science Fiction Film Tournament is ready for your listening pleasure. In this one, Brian and I discuss the 2009 rebooted Star Trek film, with some minor digressions. If you subscribe to the Bureau 42 Master Audio Podcast feed through iTunes or straight RSS, you should find it in your feed already. Due to the unpredictable nature of the release schedule for Great Science Fiction Film Tournament podcasts, these will go in the master feed, but will not get a feed of their own. Warning: this is a long one. In fact, it’s about half an hour longer than the actual movie.
Zachary Quinto vs. Leonard Nimoy: “The Challenge”
Sure, it’s a car commercial, but it’s beyond awesome.
I hope Audi does more of these. Hell, match up other old and new Star Trek cast members. My vote would be Takei/Cho or Nichols/Saldana for more awesomeness.

Star Trek, Star Wars combine

Star Trek Into Darkness – Trailer (With some actual plot)
We’ve seen a bunch of teasers for the movie, but this would be, what I would call, the first real trailer.
Twenty Years of Deep Space Nine
On January 3, 1993, Star Trek took a turn into a darker, grittier place with the premiere episode of Deep Space Nine. The pilot episode, “The Emissary,” introduced us to a Commander who hated Picard and was looking to retire early, an ex-terrorist turned first officer, a 700 year old Science Officer, a shapeshifting security officer, a morally challenged barkeep, and a slew of others that, frankly, did not get along.
What emerged was a show that was the first Star Trek not created by Gene Roddenberry. In fact, before his death, he was pretty pessimistic about it. Gone was the doe-eyed optimism of his original vision of the future and replaced with the harsh realities of war, occupation, and…well…life.
So, twenty years later, what’s your take on DS9?
