Star Trek

In September, William Shatner of 'Star Trek' fame declared that his sci-fi series is vastly superior to the 'Star Wars' franchise. And now, Carrie Fisher (AKA Princess Leia) is hitting back. Time to settle the "great nerd debate" once and for all.

Facebook's latest redesign has left many of the social network's users feeling antsy. To quell this unease,  'Star Trek's' George Takei took to YouTube to offer a glimpse into the future. The powerful, yet soothing, voice of Captain Sulu assures humanity that it will all be OK.

Doing his best to provoke an intergalactic geek fight, William Shatner unfavorably compared 'Star Wars' to 'Star Trek' during an interview he posted to his YouTube page Thursday.

Trekkies will have the perfect place to enjoy a little fun in the sun, come 2014, when a 1.5 billion dollar Star Trek-themed resort is scheduled to open in the Middle Eastern kingdom of Jordan.

While 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' would occasionally make a stab at humor, few would describe the sci-fi series, which ran between 1987 and 1994, as a comedy. But it turns out there was a great sitcom lurking beneath the intergalactic quandaries and technical jargon all along, and all it took was simple laugh track to unleash it.
