Star Hack: The Wrath of Roo (Star Trek 2009 Review)

At the ends of the Reviewaverse lies the beginning of a frakkin' Hackdown.  Starring Roo of the Clan of the Gray Wolf and Apollo Z. Hack, an epic battle commences to prove once and for all who's opinion reigns supreme when it comes to J.J. Trek.  Watch out for lens flares!

Star Trek Review-Off Challenge (A Response to Apollo Z. Hack)

Mr. Hack does not believe in the creamy goodness of the latest Star Trek movie.  Strap in folks - it seems someone's wrong on the internet.

Oh, snap!

This will require a proper response.  One that consists of kicking names and taking ass.

... You heard me.

Second Thoughts - Star Trek: Online

After spending more than a month in the world of Star Trek: Online, Roo has a few more thoughts to add to his initial impressions of the game.  Now that it's officially launched, does he still believe it's worth playing?

First Thoughts - Star Trek: Online

After spending a few days of quality time with the Star Trek: Online open beta, Roo (our resident Star Trek nerd) gives his thoughts.  What's good?  What's bad?  And is it worth your time and wallet fodder?

Star Trek: Customizable Card Game - Retrospective Review

Do you remember Star Trek: The Customizable Card Game?  Of course you do.  And now, thanks to the cards being as cheap as dirt now, Roo and the Commodore do as well.  Watch as they celebrate the 15th anniversary of Star Trek CCG by playing the game for the first time in a decade, and then give their thoughts as to why it was so great to begin with, and why it ultimately failed.

Star Trek = Good

 
So I saw the new Star Trek Movie for the second time last night (it was the last showing at my local theater before it went bye-bye). I have to say that I was just as impressed with it the second time as I was when I first saw it. More than anything, it’s great to feel energized about Star Trek again, while also having clear direction for the franchise as a whole. And clear direction is good rather than ridiculous conjecture of whether the next movie would feature Riker on the Future Enterprise or O’Brien at Starfleet Academy.
 
I’m certainly not here to review the movie – that’d be way late in addition to being redundant as there are plenty of worthy (and almost universally glowing) reviews of the movie on the internet. But after taking a short glimpse back yesterday at the entirety of the Trek film franchise before I saw the new movie (again), I couldn’t help but smile widely at the effort that was put forth on this movie. I remembered in an instant why Nemesis was so bad and why this film was so good. Let me offer up a few thoughts on how all of this went down.
