At this very moment, we are all getting bombarded with nostalgic marketing. All our favorites have been rebooted or are getting a reboot. They won’t stop putting Batman on the big screen and people are ready to sell their first-born for a Star Wars: The Force Awakens movie ticket… admit it, you considered it amidst yesterday’s advance-ticket-pocalypse. Even Gilmore Girls is getting a renewal via Netflix (don’t ask me why).

Meanwhile, I am sitting here and eating up anything and everything that has to do with the new X-Files season that will premiere in January 2016. Six whole new episodes of my favorite show ever and ever? I need it. I want it.

We ran into Julie Doll/Smileysquid!

Last night, Gizzy B and I watched Star Trek Into Darkness and we really enjoyed it! We won’t say much for now because we don’t want to spoil it for everyone out there, but feel free to let us know what you thought of the movie if you’ve seen it!

What were your favorite parts? Personally, I am not the biggest Benedict Cumberbatch fan (don’t worry, everyone else on Defective Geeks are inlove with him . . . just not me! Ha!) but what did you guys think of him in the movie? Who was your favorite character? How did this one compare to the first movie?

Zoey Zaldana rocked Uhura so hard, I thought! And the Kirk and Spock moments? Priceless.

We spoke to Curtis Fortier and Helen McElwain — and Stephanie Sheh also joined us for a few minutes in the beginning! — about their upcoming comedy sci-fi webseries, Hollow Ship. Curtis and Helen joined forces to bring you a unique spin on a sitcom that takes place in a science fiction world. They spoke to us about what inspired the idea and the characters, plus what it took to get this project off the floor. Still, they need your help so please check out their Kickstarter page and donate or help spread the word!
