“City on the Edge of Forever” is one of the greatest episodes of Star Trek, let alone television, ever produced. But there has been controversy surrounding it since day one. Harlan Ellison’s original teleplay was rewritten so many times, that only two of his lines made it from script to screen. Now, for the first time, Harlan’s original version is being presented to a mass audience in the form of a comic book miniseries from IDW. Read the full details after the jump.

A hero is only as good as his rogues gallery. Breaking up muggings and robberies is all well and good, but taking down a super villain and his diabolical machinations is an entirely different story.

With today being the release of Star Trek: Into Darkness, I’m celebrating with a sci-fi list. Not best series or anything, but best elements from sci-fi.

One more day left, so let’s just get to it. Sunday! Sunday! SUNDAY!!! Featuring Gates McFadden, Chase Masterson, Ethan Phillips, Rene Auberjonois and Aron Eisenberg.

Let’s not dilly dally, let’s jump right back into my coverage of last weekend’s Official Star Trek Convention. Saturday featured all the big name guests, including Nana Visitor, Michael Dorn, Avery Brooks, Cirroc Lofton, and the costume contest.

So this past weekend was the “big” Star Trek convention in lovely Cherry Hill, NJ, celebrating 20 years of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Because it’s only 3 miles from my house (and I prepaid for it at last year’s show), I headed on over to meet most of the cast of DS9 and take some expensive pictures.

To celebrate the successful landing of the Mars Rover Curiosity, for this weeks Friday Five, we discuss our favorite things that happened in space. We promise not to scream too loud about it. Besides, no one would hear us anyway in space.

Finally some E3 news for the non hardcore gamers. Namco Bandai revealed today at E3 that the villains in the new Star Trek co-op game, which is set in the universe of the new JJ Abrams films, and takes place between the 2009 film and its upcoming sequel will be . . . the Gorn!
