Strange New Worlds Delivers Inebriated Kirk and Animated Cameos
New Star Trek Movie to Feature All-New Characters, Furthest Future Yet
Star Trek Celebrates 60th Anniversary with Vegas Screenings and a New 'Archive'
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds continues its genre-bending with Season 4, Episode 3, 'Human Best Friend,' featuring an inebriated James T. Kirk played by Paul Wesley, a surprising animated segment, and a 'Hangover' style comedy. Directors revealed the next Star Trek film will introduce all-new characters set further in the future than ever before. Plus, Magic: The Gathering unveils new Star Trek cards, the franchise gears up for its 60th anniversary with major events in Las Vegas, and the Star Trek: Legends RPG is being decommissioned. We also look at Star Trek comics and the enduring legacy of the original series.
