Attention, Star Trek fans, if you don’t already have an Amazon Prime account, you should maybe reconsider.

According to CinemaBlend, the streaming service’s lineup for the end of July’s flooded with bold content. Joining what’s already available – including the original TV series, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Star Trek Voyager, and more – will be Stark Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Star Trek: First Contact, Star Trek: Insurrection, and finally, Stark Trek: Nemesis.

I know that’s quite a mouthful of titles to throw at you, so let’s break it down. For those who don’t know, two of the films are led by William Shatner’s Kirk crew, and the other three follow Patrick Stewart’s Jean-Luc Picard. While this may be a bit of a stretch, we’d recommend The Undiscovered Country for a possible double feature event with Avengers: Endgame,...

Did you catch all of these Star Trek references and Easter eggs in "Such Sweet Sorrow"?

Spoilers ahead for Star Trek: Discovery Season 2, Episode 13, “Such Sweet Sorrow.”

The penultimate episode of Star Trek: Discovery’s second season is jammed with perhaps more old-school references than any episode before. Because the USS Discovery hooks-up with the USS Enterprise, there are probably more Easter eggs than are reasonable. It will likely take several repeat viewings — and a lot of freeze frame — to catch everything in this thrilling episode.

And yet! We tried! From classic starship designations, to how you blow up a spaceship, to Sherlock Holmes, and Shakespeare, here are all the Easter eggs and references we caught in Star Trek: Discovery season 2, episode 13, “Such Sweet Sorrow.”

The episode title references Shakespeare and Future Klingons

The title of the episode comes from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet: “Parting is...

Rosanne Cash is set to release her first new album in nearly five years and has unveiled the first two tracks from the LP, titled She Remembers Everything. Out November 2nd on Blue Note Records, the album follows the triptych of the deeply personal Black Cadillac, The List and The River & the Thread, through which the singer-songwriter dealt with the loss of her father, Johnny Cash, and the deaths of her mother and stepmother, while also exploring her family’s Southern heritage.

The villain quotes Moby Dick with his dying breath, ambitiously cementing Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan as a cinematic space epic rightly revered for its passion, story arc, and brave sacrifice of one of the most famous characters in pop culture. It's time for 10 things you never knew about Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

It was made without Gene Roddenberry

During the three months of filming on The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry worked on other projects on the Paramount lot, but not this one. He'd been offered a producer role but without any real creative control. The studio had blamed him for the huge cost and middling reception to the first movie.

If any big star gets cast as a superhero, or their name is even mentioned online as part of the casting rumor mill, you can always count on BossLogic to drop fan art of what said actor might look like in that iconic costume. And today, he may have outdone himself with a sneak peek at what Zazie Beetz will look like when she suits up as Domino in Deadpool 2. Says BossLogic about the art he dropped on Twitter.

After months of speculation, 20th Century Fox has finally found their actress to play the iconic Domino in Deadpool 2, with the studio hiring Atlanta star Zazie Beetz. Star/producer Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter earlier today to announce the casting news, in quite the unusual fashion, while later debuting a mock comic book cover featuring Domino standing on Deadpool's back while falling from an airplane, which has Zazie Beetz's face placed over the comic book head. This casting comes slightly out of left field, especially since there were previously a number of other candidates mentioned last year.

Ryan Reynolds took to Twitter this afternoon, showcasing a unique photo comprised of actual dominos, which were aligned and digitally altered to spell out the name Zazie Beetz. Domino has long been believed to be included in this sequel, with a number of actresses reportedly testing for the Domino role back in October,...
