To celebrate the premiere of the new Star Trek film directed by JJ Abrams, test your knowledge of Star Trek lore. The show's been around for over 40 years, had numerous spinoffs and movies, and developed an insanely rabid fanbase. Are you a Herbert? A Trekkie? Trekker? Find out.

We got 19 / 20. Seems that someone here forgot that Bill Shatner directed the god-awful Star Trek V.  Of course we can't really blame them for forgetting.

A brand new clip from the upcoming 'Star Trek' features Spock as acting captain of the Enterprise. Spock meets Scotty for the first time and apparently Kirk and Scotty both transported aboard while at warp.

In the youtube video shown below, William Shatner talks about performing TV's first interracial kiss with Nichelle Nichols. It's interesting that The Shat talks about this being the first interracial kiss here but, in his book 'Star Trek Memories' describes how the censors required him and Nichelle to turn their heads blocking the kiss from view. Even though we don't see it, the kiss from TOS episode "Plato's Stepchildren" is still recorded as the first interracial kiss.

Reuters reports on the opening of 'Star Trek' at the Sydney Opera House. It includes fan reaction and interviews with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto.

As reported by Trek Movie, JJ Abrams and the stars of 'Star Trek' answer fan questions in a series of videos from the world premiere in Sydney.

Questions were submitted by fans through the social networking site Twitter. They ranged from "how does the music in this movie compare to the other Star Trek movie scores?" to "How did you prepare for the role of Bones without having DeForest Kelley around to offer guidance?" ask of Karl Urban.

As reported by Acedshowbiz.com, the Hollywood Reporter has uncovered a new behind the scenes video of the upcoming 'Star Trek'.

The nearly five minute video mostly contains interviews with screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci. In it, they talk about various things from the challenges of rebooting a franchise like this to whether or not there is a Tribble in the movie.
