Description

They vowed to go where no one has gone before. But can the crew of the Enterprise really go new places without paying tribute to the old? And what are those old places that brought us to where we are now?


David Goodman is something of a “Star Trek” historian. He’s the author of “Star Trek Federation: the First 150 Years.” He’s even written for the Star Trek franchise, specifically for the TV series “Star Trek: Enterprise.” And he’s also the man who penned the famous “Futurama” episode “Where No Fan Has Gone Before.”


Nygard shares his knowledge of the history, characters, and adventures that make up the Star Trek universe, and weighs in on whether the newest film, "Star Trek Into Darkness," would make Gene Roddenberry proud. 


In this week's look at new movies, Rafer and Kristen share their thoughts on one of the most highly anticipated films of the summer: J.J. Abrams's "Star Trek Into Darkness," starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Zoe Saldana.
