Space Academy: First Assignment


Star Trek
As mentioned previously, I was in LA doing interviews for the new Star Trek film back in March. It has yielded something of journalistic bonanza, with not just my Sunday Times Culture feature but spin-offs for the Daily Mail, Yorkshire Post, Scotland's Sunday Herald. and a syndicated piece on Simon Pegg which has cropped up all over the place, including such far-flung outposts as Malaysia's The New Straits Times. More will follow. With frothing advance reviews out there already (and from people who are normally quite restrained), it's a rare and definite case of "do believe the hype" for this film. And not a single trite Trek reference in this post (damn it Jim, I'm a journalist, not a cliché-monger).

And, purely gratuitously, did you ever see this Tenacious D tribute?
