by Chris Laverty

Friendly and hostile. Folded: Star Trek ’09 (boldly go, beam me up, etc. The mythology’s cack, but this re-boot is terrific) Tanqueray gin (that’s right, from the Amy Winehouse song) Dr. Beardface (“it’s Beardfacé!!!”) I Remember by Deadmau5 (sing along any lyrics you like, we guarantee they’ll fit) Mikado chocolates (ridiculously sexy advert and tasty [...]

There’s Going To Be A Star Trek Sequel Or 11

by Stuart Heritage

Have you had trouble being convinced by the new Star Trek trailer because Captain Kirk isn’t in a wig and a girdle?

Us too. But hope is at hand. Even though Star Trek hasn’t been released yet, Paramount has hired a bunch of writers to script a sequel. This is obviously the start of a series of relentless, progressively worsening Star Trek movies that will end when the cast are tubby 70-year-olds who openly despise one another.

In the meantime, however, at least we have Chris Pine’s album of spoken-word Bob Dylan interpretations to look forward to. Which is something.

Watch The New Star Trek Trailer

by David Schwartz

There was a time when the thought of another Star Trek movie would have filled us with dread.

There is only so many times you can see William Shatner waddling around the set saving whales or whatever.

But, having just watched the new trailer of the upcoming Star Trek movie, we are actually quite looking forward to it. Well, as much as the cynical gits in this office can get excited about a movie. It looks quite, um, good.

Anyway, take a look yourself, and see what you think.

William Shatner: George Takei Loves His Husband But Hates Me (With Video)

by Shawn Lindseth

When you invite William Shatner to your wedding, you only give yourself two possible outcomes. The first outcome involves him trying to convince the big, white cake he really is a lawyer – and that he absolutely understands all the legal jargon and everything – for the complete duration of your first dance. The second [...]

The 26 Hottest Star Trek Babes

by hecklerspray staff

They are the babes we’d all like to boldly go with – the hottest women to ever appear in Star Trek.

But compiling a list of the sexiest ever was never going to be easy. With all its different incarnations and the sheer volume of life-forms Captain Kirk alone has sullied, it’s certainly a tough job. But Hecklerspray has never been one to shirk a challenge and is prepared to risk the wrath of Trekkies across the world by compiling a list of lovelies that are the envy of the galaxy.

And we are pretty happy with the results. Put it this way, we’d certainly love to get our hands on their tricorders. However, we are sure you will have your own suggestions. As always, please let us know of any glaring omissions – not that you need any encouragement, you pedantic, miserable bastards.

And before you ask, we have not included the upcoming Star Trek film, which is due to be released next year. So the names Zoe Saldana and Jennifer Morrison have not been added to the list this time, but would certainly come into contention next time if we decided to do this list again.

Anyway, set your phasers to stun and enjoy.

Winona Ryder: Spock’s Mum

by Stuart Heritage

The forthcoming JJ Abrams-helmed Star Trek movie is one of the most breathlessly-anticipated movies for a long time, especially by people waiting to see if it can out-bad the one about Captain Kirk wanking around with some whales.

And the latest Star Trek-related news suggests that it might just be able to, thanks to another piece of wayward casting. It’s been announced that, as well as the bloke from Heroes, one of Harold and Kumar and Simon Pegg, Star Trek will also star Winona Ryder as Spock’s Vulcan mother. What Winona Ryder will actually do in Star Trek remains to be seen, although it’s probably safe to say that there’s going to be a subplot where Spock experiences all sorts of emotionally-conflicting erotic thoughts about his own mother. Well, he is part-human, after all.

No New Star Trek Role For Pissy William Shatner

by Stuart Heritage

William Shatner brings a sparkle of class to whatever he touches, whether it’s TV work, movies or inexplicable covers of Elton John songs sung between three different William Shatners – but the new Star Trek movie won’t see any of that.

And that’s because William Shatner won’t be in the new Star Trek movie. Although he was rumoured to have a cameo in the movie alongside Leonard Nimoy, William Shatner has revealed that meetings with the new Star Trek director JJ Abrams were unsuccessful and the movie will go ahead sans Shatner. And now William Shatner can’t stop bitching about the Star Trek snub. But can you blame him? After all, we’d be bitter if our derided egomaniacal role in a TV show that hasn’t been made for almost 40 years wasn’t reprised in a movie that’s set several years before the TV show we starred in 40 years ago, too. Or something. Oh look, we’ve confused ourselves now.
