Rod Roddenberry Reflects on His Father’s “Star Trek” Legacy for Centennial Year
Star Trek has beamed audiences to strange and mysterious worlds for more than half a century. The franchise is adventurous, exciting, and explores the promise of an unlimited future.

Through the eyes of aliens, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry hoped to gain greater insight into the potential of humankind.
Quentin Tarantino Discusses his Potential Star Trek Film
Quentin Tarantino has long said that his tenth film would be his last. That means his upcoming Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is his penultimate movie, and we’ll only have the auteur around for one final movie after that. That’s sort of depressing, is it not?
It’s wonderful to be able to set the terms of your own career in such a way, and Tarantino has had, objectively,

Sequel Synopsis: A Quiet Place and Cloverfield Scare Up More Films
People often talk about the superhero dominance in theaters right now. While it is valid to say we’re seeing some of the best comic movies ever, horror is also having a moment. Cerebral thrillers from Get Out to A Quiet Place are redefining the genre, and audiences are rewarding these risk-taking filmmakers. We are unbelievably pumped for Laurie Storde and Michael Myers to meet face to mask again this Halloween.

In Honor of Star Trek: Into Darkness—Our 7 Favorite Invented Languages
Admittedly, writing about Klingon on the Internet is akin to shaving one’s entire body and jumping into a salt bath—we're opening ourselves up to an onslaught of criticism and fastidious fact-checking, so we’ll tread lightly here. But when Bing introduced Klingon to its web-based translation service on Tuesday in anticipation of this weekend’s release of Star Trek: Into Darkness, it couldn’t go without mention.

For The Sake of Good Television: TV Shows Saved By Fans
Last night's Emmys program demonstrated a universal love for quality television, but we'd be remiss not to acknowledge the scores of excellent shows that didn't make the cut. Truth be told, there's a long history of great TV programming that has suffered the fate of critic negligence, low ratings, and — worst of all — early cancellation. But behind every great show cancelled, there's a dedicated fan base fighting for its return.
There are few examples of broad social action as varied —
