Star Trek & Lightsaber?

So I found this little gem in a antique shop. Patrick Stewart with a lightsaber? Yes please!

July 24, 2018July 24, 2018

Star Trek Book Challenge 87: The Devil’s Heart (Star Trek: The Next Generation)

The Devil's Heart (Star Trek: The Next Generation) by Carmen Carter is a well rounded novel. The characters were well written and going back and forth in between each crew's story plot blends nicely. It is a little slow in the beginning, but there is a reason for it as the book goes on. Action …

Star Trek Book Challenge 84: Three Minute Universe (Star Trek: The Original Series #41)

This is an interesting read.. Sackers for one are one of the most creative alien so far in the Trek. But at the same time it comes across as a alien of the week where they throw a dart at a wall filled with skin color, forehead abberation and human culture analogue.. It's really fills …

He may have celebrated his 60th anniversary a couple years back with the release of Legendary Pictures' Godzilla (2014), the second American-produced film in the fra […]

The Year of Trash

2015 was not particularly great for It's Trash Culture. My attention shifted from posting here and turned to other social medias, like Twitter and Instagram, where minimum effort paid out a much larger reward. Those accounts have accumulated several hundred more followers than this blog, which is equal parts awesome and sorta' heart-breaking. Neith […]
