” It is my intention to live an authentic life… “
October 16th, 2011Zachary Quinto has identified himself as a gay man in a New York Magazine profile and elaborated on his reasons for coming out in a post on his blog.
While some related news articles mention the on-screen romance between Quinto’s Spock and Zoe Saldana’s Uhura, none have touched on the Star Trek fan culture/ subtext that pairs Spock with James T. Kirk. To read about the phenomenon, check out our article on Slash in the Fandom section.

So much for retirement!
April 13th, 2011As of last April, Leonard Nimoy was retired from acting. However, it seems a couple of projects have managed to bring him back out again. Firstly, Fringe’s latest promo (don’t worry, it’s non-spoilery!) for this Friday’s episode teases Nimoy’s reprisal of character William Bell; he teased us on Twitter about the return back in January. Nimoy also recently recorded two sessions for this summer’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon, in which he will voice “long lost Autobot leader” Sentinel Prime. (You may recall that he voiced Galvatron in 1986’s animated Transformers: The Movie.)
Of course, Nimoy is also being rumoured to to be the voice of the dragon Smaug in Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit. I, for one, would love to hear him voice Smaug and I hope something comes of this particular rumour!

March 27th, 2011A section on the 2009 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation episode A Space Oddity has been added to the Satire article.
Also, five new tunes appear in the Jukebox, including two from William Shatner. Like Leonard Nimoy, the Shat is also 80 years old this year, and still kicking. Celebrate with a hearty round of Mr. Tambourine Maaaaaan~ !
