* Entertainment Weekly has posted its Star Trek Into Darkness cover story from last week's print issue, in which director J.J. Abrams talks about the sequel, taking on Star Wars, and more.
* Startrek.com talks to actor Richard Herd, who you may remember as the head lizard on V in the 1980s, or more recently as Tom Paris's father on Star Trek: Voyager. Herd is another character actor whose love of Star Trek comes as a pleasant surprise. I always assume it's just a job for most actors; when it turns out it really means something to them, that's nice to know, and probably explains the quality of Herd's performances in Trek. Update: Here's part two.
* 10 facts about Spock Must Die, the first real Star Trek novel, which was written by James Blish. A pretty indispensable piece of Star Trek history, Spock Must Die always struck me as about as canonical as the very best animated series episodes.
* Mick Martin has posted the fourth in his series of review of Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes I told him were awesome. Perhaps coincidentally, Mick covers three truly great episodes in this batch, and also kindly links to this blog.
* For some reason, they're re-releasing ST: TNG on regular, non-hi-def DVD, at a lower price point but with hideously designed packaging. This seems like a huge mis-step from multiple points of view.
* I have a review copy of Stuck on Star Trek, but I can't work up the whimsy to crack it open. If you're the type who enjoys goofy stuff like this, I bet you'll love it. Certainly it recalls such kitschy 1970s' fare like ColorForms and the animated Star Trek series.
