Raules Davies fronts CBS Action‘s Star Trek: The Next Generation broadcasts. The “Trekologist” steps up to the task by using the @cbsaction Twitter account to answer questions, award prizes and discuss the show. Here at Geek Native we’ve landed an interview with this TV star in the making and have lined up a few questions […]
CBS’s weird Patrick Stewart Star Trek interview #sttng
Freesat channel CBS Action (meh, okay; it’s on that Murdock channel that has the rights to Game of Thrones in the UK too) have got their hands on Star Trek. I was pointed in the direction of this so-called interview with Patrick Stewart as part of the launch party. Really; I can’t get my head […]
Leonard Nimoy as you’ve never seen him before: the Bruno Mars music video
This is a music video for Bruno Mar’s album Doo-Wops & Hooligans (iTunes link). It’s all about Leonard Nimoy. I didn’t spy much of a Fringe shoutout in it but there’s more than enough Star Trek references. The vid’s clealry working. There’s been over a quarter of a film views on YouTube since this went […]
China bans time travel
There will be no Doctor Who on Chinese TV. There won’t be any Star Trek either. Why not? The Chinese govenment has banned any and all time travel in TV or in movies. There. Of course. That’s your answer. If you’re wondering why the Chinese have done this then you need to consider the importance […]
Buy your very own Romulan Ale Star Trek energy drink
Heads up folks – this isn’t booze – this Romulan Ale is actually a caffeine packed energy drink. Oh – and Think Geek can’t ship it out of the States or Canada. Not sure whether that’s due to the faff of shipping food around, the EU having a different view of what a wise amount […]
Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan told in 60 seconds with puppets
Khaaaan! If you need to remind yourself or quickly sum up The Wrath of Khan to someone who’s been living in a cave for the last twenty years then this animation should, in a pinch, work well for you. Hand-made puppets ooze DIY appeal. I don’t think it matters how the animation actually works out… […]
Meekakitty’s Star Trek Girl
As far as I can make up Meekakitty is one of these DIY YouTube video hosts. I quite like the idea – teens showing their talent, rather than just claiming they have it, by essentially hosting and putting together their own show. Meekakitty’s cleverly tapped into a meme of potential with her Star Trek song. […]
Sci-fi amigurumi masterpieces

The pictures below are just a sample. Highly recommend checking out Smapte’s Deviant Artpage and soaking up the rest of the goodness. There’s more Firefly and Tron behind the link. […]
Air-powered Star Trek style door
It’s surprising how many people really dig the sound doors in Star Trek make. The swoosh sound seems to reassure people. Step forward UI Produtions and a rather clever air-powered Star Trek door. This, as you can see, isn’t something from a spaceship. This is a door for your flat. Enough chat; check out the […]
Star Trek’s Enterprise in Minecraft. Full size.
Have you given into the temptation to try Minecraft yet? I’ve got as far as starting the game for free, without registering and smashing a few holes into the ground. In just so those few seconds I could easily see why a certain type of builder geek would become addicted. It’s with addiction in mind […]
