Was the Space Shuttle Program a Success?

​Each week, Death by Science sends out an all-points bulletin for the latest science and technology news, tracks it down and beats a confession out of it.

When Nerd-dom and Dinner Collide

​As far as completely unnecessary food implements go, this one is pretty great. And honestly, we're surprised it took so long for someone to come up with it: when we sat through the 2009 version of Star Trek, our thoughts were not of alien warfare or prosthetic ears, but of how perfect the pro ...

George Takei Called Me!

​For our scheduled interview!

Star Trek Writer/Producer Regrets That There Were No Gays

​Gays would have loved to say mildly suggestive things like, "Beam me up, Scotty"! But there weren't any in Star Trek. (I'm talking about the characters, not the actors, mind you.)

Did The Chris Brown Apology Get To You?

Are you still choked up from Chris Brown's video mea culpa that emerged a couple of days ago? I hope that's why you're choked up and not because some thug is at your throat. I thought his performance was fine, and I even liked the Star Trek outfit and hoop earrings. But I thought Chris spoke way t ... More >>

Let's Boycott All Sequels!

With very rare exceptions, sequels aren't green-lighted because there's a burning need to creatively extend the story of the first film. They're done because the first one made a big heap of cash and they want to rake in more of it! As a result, I generally avoid sequels, prequels, and so on like t ... More >>

Which Star Trek Stars Were The Sexiest?

I haven't seen the new Star Trek movie, partly because I could give two shits about it and also because I wasn't invited to a screening.
