Star Trek series set on a space station around Bajor remembered

Read MoreBut could some of the backlash be from theater owners who would have to pay for upgrades?
Last September, independent filmmaker James Kerwin criticized Peter Jackson's announcement that he would film and display "The Hobbit" at 48 frames per second, far faster than the standard 24 frames per second that we see in nearly all films.

Read MoreActress loves Star Trek and fandom, but is ready to move beyond that in 'R.U.R.'
It's been 13 years since "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" ended its seven-year syndicated run. But like anything else with the name "Star Trek" attached, it's still hard to get away from.

Wow, I can't believe San Diego Comic-Con will be all over tomorrow. But first, we get to one of our busiest days, which doesn't feel like it, because I won't even be at the convention myself until around lunchtime when I hobnob with the voice and creative talent behind the recently revived show "Fut ...
Read MorePLUS: Extra production week added in July to celebrate 'Warehouse 13' episode
Since its return last November, Alpha Waves Radio on BlogTalkRadio has been airing shows just twice a month. But in July, think about having a show almost every week. That's because San Diego Comic-Con -- the "super bowl" of science-fiction entertainment -- resides in the hot summer month, an ...
