Notable links: Week of 1/15 (part two)

Credit: Angry Asian Man Here’s the second batch of Notable Links. Some of this is really old though…But, a lot of it deals with various things I’ve been writing on, like Pan Am and Sherlock, and other things dealing with race and culture in entertainment. Again, no small recaps this time, just the titles....

The worth of Viktor Krum: More on accents, pt. 2–Destin and Chekov

Krum (l) and Chekov (r). Credit: WB/Paramount I’ve written quite a bit on how I feel about the representation of Viktor Krum’s accent, but in the article I wrote on it the most, I had to use Youtube to help me. Now, after coming back from my vacation in Destin, I have real-life proof,...

What’s the Ado about Valerie: The ‘Velma’ of the group

The one thing I thought was impressive about the cartoon “Josie and the Pussycats” was that Valerie was not only the only black character on the show, but also the smartest one on the show. In the “Scooby-Doo” paradigm almost all Hanna-Barbera shows followed during the late ’60s and throughout the ’70s, there has...

Valentine’s Day!

Between reviewing movies, doing work for Shockya.com and applying for jobs and doing other post-grad stuff, I haven’t had time to even change out the theme of my site for Valentine’s Day. But that doesn’t mean that I’ve forgotten about it. I frequently blog about love and relationships on Moniqueblog, so I thought I’d...

Live long and prosper, Leonard Nimoy

Recently, the news broke that beloved Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy would be retiring from acting (and possibly sci-fi convention stints) after his character’s arc on Fringe as Dr. William Bell. The worst part of the news is that there will be no more of his donning the ears as Mr. Spock. Ever, not...

Spock/Uhura analysis

This might be a little indulgent on my part, but this is one aspect of the new “Star Trek” continuity that has to-nay- it MUST be discussed. Spock and Uhura. Uhura and Spock. “Spohura”, if you will. It’s official-they’re an item now. It’s pretty cemented that they’re locked together by the middle of the...

Review: Star Trek boldy goes as the year’s first summer blockbuster

originally written May 2009 Yes, I said it’s the first real blockbuster; compared to this movie, “Wolverine” and the FOX suits behind it should sit in a corner and cry. I originally had “Watchmen” as my end-all movie experience, but “Star Trek” has taken that title. What made “Star Trek” so fantastic was the...

Set phasers to Star Trek: part three

SPOILER ALERT! In case you still haven’t seen the movie (and I suggest that you do, because in my opinion, it’s really good), don’t read much of this article (and my “much”, I mean “all”). Another disclaimer: Because this article is about fanfiction and Star Trek fans, I’m employing some fanfiction and fan-centric terms,...
