Entertainment News #7: 9-1-1 Mini Crossover, Kyle Gallner and Paul Wesley

- Angela Bassett's 9-1-1 character Police Sergeant Athena Grant will be appearing on the upcoming Monday's episode of 9-1-1: Lone Star titled Prince Albert in a Can. The episode will center around an investigation where a 911 SWATing prank turns deadly. According to Lone Star's showrunner Tim Minear, "They are trying to figure out where the SWAT-ing call came from, and they trace it to Los Angeles". I kinda wish this hadn't been reported so that her appearance would be a surprise.

New Release Tuesday: Mulan: Before the Sword, The Stationary Shop and Star Trek: Picard

It's New Release Tuesday and I really want to read, Mulan: Before the Sword by Grace Lin, Star Trek: Picard: The Last Best Hope by Una McCormack and The Stationary Shop by Marjan Kamali.

I've watched the trailer for the upcoming Mulan movie so many times, it looks really good and even though I haven't found a description for the book, I'm still interesting in reading it. Since I don't have the CBS streaming service, I can't watch the new Star Trek: Picard TV Series but I can read this book. Who else has this book on their list? I could totally see this being a book club pick, what do you guys think? The third book, The Stationary Shop really seems like it's going to be something rather moving with the focus on lost love.

What new books do want to read?


Fairy Tale

Book: Mulan: Before the Sword by Grace Lin

Description:

New York Times bestselling author Grace Lin pens this novel filled with adventure and wonder set before the upcoming Walt Disney Studios Mulan film.

Trailer for Star Trek: Discovery

I was so wrapped up in watching the last episode of Teen Wolf that I forgot Star Trek: Discovery was premiering tonight. As much as I can't wait to see this, I'm going to have to tape this and watch it later.

Star Trek: Discovery airs at 8:30pm EST on CBS

Fashion Meets Comics: A Star Trek 'Live Long' Raglan Shirt

I like this, it's a cute everyday geek chic shirt. Featured on the front is the Vulcan salute and on the back is "Live Long and Prosper",  one of Mr. Spock's most well known and popular sayings.

Toy Corner: Barbie 50th Anniversary Star Trek Lieutenant Uhura Doll

Happy 50th Anniversary, Star Trek! The first episode premiered September 8, 1966. The fact that this show has stayed popular since then is absolutely astounding. And to think  it went on to launch a very successful franchise.

For this Toy Corner post, I wanted to post my Barbie Star Trek Lieutenant Uhura doll that I received as a birthday gift. For anyone who's interested, the Lieutenant Uhura is still available to purchase as well as Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock from The Barbie Collection store.

I think they did a really good job with the molding because she very much resembles actress Nichelle Nichols.

365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #234 (for Tuesday): Star Trek vol #1

I recently read Star Trek: Starfleet Academy (I should have review up in a few days) and I really enjoyed it. So much so that now I want to read the rest of the Star Trek series. I guess I will be adding this first volume to my wishlist.

Book: Star Trek volume #1 by Mike Johnson with illustrations by Tim Bradstreet and Steve Molnar

Description:

The adventures of the Starship Enterprise continue in this new story that picks up where the blockbuster 2009 film left off! Featuring the new cast of the film, these missions re-imagine the stories from the original series in the alternate timeline created by the film, along with new threats and characters never seen before! With creative collaboration from Star Trek writer/producer Roberto Orci, this new series begins the countdown to the much-anticipated movie sequel premiering in 2012!

Toy Corner: Barbie 50th Anniversary Star Trek Dolls

It's hard to image that Star Trek only stayed on for three seasons yet ended up becoming this iconic series. To celebrate the 50th annivesary of the TV series, Barbie has created the 50th Anniversary Star Trek dolls: Captain James T. Kirk, Lieutenant Nyota Uhura and Mr. Spock. The dolls are currently available for pre-order from The Barbie Collection for $34.95 each. These are pretty cool, I think they did an amazing job with the likeness of the actors. I wonder if anymore of the characters will be created?

I would love to get all three but at least I know I will be getting Lieutenant Uhura. My mother recently asked me what I would like for my birthday and of course I told her. It doesn't matter that this will show up sometime after my birthday, I'm just happy that I'll have one. I love that my family totally gets me. 

Collectors, will you be adding any of these to your collection?

365 Days of Books of Interest: Day #67: Star Trek/Green Lantern: The Spectrum War

I love when publishers do these crossover miniseries because isn't it possible that the Star Trek crew could have cross paths with the Green Lanterns?

I don't usually like to think about Christmas until after Thanksgiving, but I wanted to make today's Geek Chic post about Christmas Ornaments. I'm a fan of all types of ornaments from the traditional round ones to the ones with characters, the latter is what I focused on today.

From Star Trek to Star Wars and everything in between, these are just a tiny selection of Geek Chic ornaments that are out there.
