  Star Trek Into Darkness was built on the back of the past #startrek shows and series. Here’s why they were so great. http://t.co/wPYDGV6mxL

  Why does this brawl between rival Star Wars and Doctor Who fan clubs sound like a scene from Fanboys? http://t.co/YecFnnhdpl

  I can’t wait for someone to release all of the pages of the writers’ guide for the original Star Trek series. http://t.co/HgogGH3hhG

  If you can’t find enough #startrek content on Wikipedia, perhaps you’ll have better luck with Wikia’s latest project. http://t.co/Jb5MguVSK1

  The Arthur C. Clarke Center for Human Imagination is set to open. Wouldn’t Clarke have spelled it Centre? http://t.co/DQ0RsmkcCV

  What kind of Star Trek fans give their kids boring Trek names like these? Why not call them Worf, Spock and Data? http://t.co/bSA90TEAJ8

  That arts degree that you thought was useless may not be, if these #scifi characters are any guide. http://t.co/JKmYyM9Vvh

  I’m still on the fence about #Vine, but these #scifi -themed clips are amusing enough. http://t.co/eHsu3FgXVE

    Played a bit with it when it came out it was fun but I quickly forgot about it… I still prefer making animated GIF

  This Klingon karaoke cover would be even funnier if I knew the original song. (Why does Klingon sound like Hebrew?) http://t.co/S9542ZP2nd

  Sounds like author William Gibson was reluctantly impressed by Google Glass. I must say the concept scares me. http://t.co/Ac1GteafmI

    I think that just like Bluetooth ear sets, they look silly. Considering the cost I doubt we will be seeing many of these for now, also, Google disclaimer says that the unit is NOT transferable, it is link to a single account and cannot be sold or given away, or they will brick the unit and render it unusable. Nice for something so expensive.

      I think I’ll wait for the cheaper Chinese knockoffs.

        Interesting. There seems to be a growing backlash against Glass due to privacy concerns, but the public seems to be more than willing to abandon privacy in exchange for something shiny so I fully expect we’ll all be happily recording every moment of our lives in the future and think nothing of it.

  Oblivion steals too many ideas from other #scifi movies, according to this critic. http://t.co/naWM4h5UYy

  Sounds like a #scifi story waiting to be written: an Iranian claims to have invented a time machine. http://t.co/GKT6MWkUyn

    There was a statement from the government that this was a crackpot stroy… On the other hand, if you had invented a time machine would you really tell anyone about it?

  More evidence that we’re not good at predicting the future? Read the L.A. Times imagined future of 2013 made in 1988. http://t.co/GVvIGh86md
