I run a local weekly Star Trek club out of my home called Trek Forever and this year marks our Fifth Anniversary. We do a lot of trivia in club and in honor of our anniversary, I wrote a comprehensive test for my crew to test their individual knowledge of all five Trek series and the films. The test is multiple choice, fill in the blank, matching, and more. The test is very even with respect to each series and the movies.

I decided that other Trek fans might enjoy taking the test as well so here it is. If you’re a die-hard fan and into more than one series, you should really have a good time with this. If you’re a more casual watcher, you may enjoy it too but don’t hit yourself too hard if you don’t do so well– you’ll probably find it pretty hard.

Seems like it’s been nothing but movie news this week! According to EW, the fourth Terminator film will be releasing May 22 of next year, starring Christian Bale as John Connor. I knew Bale was up for the role which is what initially got me excited about the film, but what I didn’t know was that it’s only the first of a planned trilogy. I am very impressed with this development. If you’ve read my blog on The Sarah Connor Chronicles you already know that I’ve always found Terminator to be a concept ripe with possibilities that have never been explored and instead the same time travel plot has been rehashed continuously. Finally we’ll get to see the interesting part– post-apocalyptic Earth taken over by machines and the larger-than-life John Connor actually being the resistance hero he’s destined to be rather than a kid or young adult pushing against his destiny and whining about it every step of the way.

Christian Bale is the perfect choice for John Connor and one lucky guy. He gets to be Batman AND John Connor! And he gets to be both in highly successful franchises that will do nothing but increase his popularity. Some may grown at the prospect of Terminator FOUR, but this will be a brand new animal. Considering its premise, I imagine it will far outshine Rise of the Machines, which did have a decent box office run despite most fans’ loathing of it now.

I have to wonder what impact, if any, The Sarah Connor Chronicles will have on the new movie. It’s has a successful run so far and I imagine it will still be on when the new film is released. The strange thing is, Rise of the Machines set up Terminator Salvation perfectly. However, the TV show seems to ignore those events. So will the Terminator Salvation films follow the show or the set-up from the last movie?

Regardless, one thing is for certain: putting Christian Bale in another film that has the word Begins in it has to be one of the smartest ideas of the y ear.
