For lack of a better name for our villain’s ship…

Star Trek, Star Wars combine
I don’t know how I feel about this. On one hand, the two have always been distinct in the past, but on the other hand, I’d love to see Jedi Spock.
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?

Saying Goodbye and Hello to the Enterprise
The aircraft carrier, USS Enterprise (CVN-65), went officially inactive on December 1 after over 50 years of active service in the US Navy. She is the second oldest ship in the US Navy, after the sailing ship Constitution.
Originally scheduled for decommission in 2015, she was retired early to make room in the fleet for the USS Gerald R. Ford. You can reread that previous sentence all you want, it won’t change, they are naming a ship after President Ford.
But, the good news for naval enthusiasts and Star Trek fans alike is that the US Navy won’t be long without a “Big E” in the fleet. During the inactivation ceremony, the Secretary of the Navy made a surprise announcement: The next carrier under construction (CVN-80) will carry the honored name of Enterprise.
So, for the super-Lucas-level-special-edition versions of TNG, will they add another model to the conference room wall?
