The Reviewinator: Star Trek III – The Search For Spock (1984)

Posted on October 18, 2016 by Rob

Posted on October 14, 2016 by Rob

The Reviewinator: Star Trek – The Original Series (1966-1969)

Posted on October 12, 2016 by Rob

Space, the final fron—nope, not doing that! After 50 years, we all get it: Star Trek is a space show, with fast ships and quirky aliens and exotic new worlds, and the kind of visionary technology that would later inspire things like cellphones … Continue reading →
