Video: Spock on the origin of the Vulcan salute

I bet that you don’t know where the Vulcan salute came from? I also bet that you don’t know Leonard Nimoy himself that suggested the hand gesture for Star Trek and that it comes from his religious background. Click through to watch a short clip on the subject. → Read More

Please do not carry this Star Trek Tricorder replica in public

It’s probably best to playact with this Star Trek Tricorder in the privacy of your own home. Please do yourself a favor and if you must spend $49.99 on this, keep it on a shelf somewhere and only play with the working sound effects and lights when no one is around. Sound good? → Read More

MSN Video: Why Is This Klingon Holding A Dolphin?

In honor of the latest Star Trek release, MSN Video has rolled out a Klingon version of its Star Trek video page. Klingon, of course, is the tongue spoken by the race of the same name in the fictional Star Trek universe. For those of you who aren’t Trekkies, Klingons are the warrior race and usually are portrayed as the enemy in the Star Trek series and movies.

SNL Star Trek skits new and old

Why the Star Trek IMAX isn't real IMAX

Didja catch Star Trek last weekend? Some people did ’cause the movie brought in an estimated $72.5 million. Anyway, one of Joel Johnson’s friends just so happens to be an IMAX engineer and offers up an explanation on why the new Star Trek isn’t a real IMAX film dispite being shown on IMAX screens. She goes into a bit more detail than “it isn’t IMAX ’cause it’s not film on IMAX.” → Read More

Star Trek TNG remixed into surreality, hilarity

These little minute-long episodes, cut from actual (or slightly modified) Star Trek: The Next Generation footage, are simultaneously bizarre, ingenious, and unbelievably hilarious. Some are NSFW, but you shouldn’t watch them at work anyway because you’ll be firing coffee out of your nose and into the next cube. I couldn’t pick a favorite if I tried — though 12 is pretty off the chain.

Video: The Death Star vs the USS Enterprise

It looks like we have an answer in the endless Star Wars vs Star Trek debate. If the USS Enterprise showed up in Imperial controlled San Francisco, the Death Star could easily blast the starship out of the sky. It’s that simple. Star Wars wins. Or so says the must-see video after the break. → Read More

Star Trek TNG on Family Guy

Love you some cartoons? Well, an upcoming episode of Seth McFarland’s Family Guy will have a Star Trek feel. Apparently the Griffen family is off to a Trekie convention, which judging by the pic, produces hilarious results between the old cast members and Stewie. I can’t wait. → Read More

Build the Enterprise from stuff laying around the office

I take issue with the idea that binder clips are “useless,” as this article implies, but if I’m honest, making a starship out of them is a cooler function than their intended one. The best thing about this instructable is that it’s super easy and once you’ve done it, you can probably remember how to do it again and again without looking at the web page. Plus, you can… → Read More

Sulu snubs Captain Kirk on his wedding – or something like that

  There’s nothing like a good ‘ol fashion Treky feud. Apparently, William Shatner was under the impression that former Star Trek co-actor George Takei invited others from the Star Trek cast to his wedding, but not Captain Kirk. George had previously said though that he and his life partner did in fact send out an invitation, but Shatner didn’t send back the RSVP. Oh well, at… → Read More
