Truth be told, I am generally not a fan of flavored coffee, but when Pop Culture Coffee released 4 new branded Star Trek coffees, I couldn’t resist. Like Janeway, I can’t start the day without the “finest organic suspension ever devised,” and I live with others who feel the same, so we took on the reviewing task together. Specifically, we were sent the ground coffees; but each flavor is also available as whole bean if you prefer. Separate from the coffee itself, the packaging on these is gorgeous.

Last week, TrekMovie spoke to members of the cast and crew of Star Trek: Section 31 at the premiere in New York City. One of the actors we spoke to was actor James Hiroyuki Liao, a Star Trek fan who was thrilled to get the call to play San in Star Trek’s first streaming movie. How much did you know about Star Trek going into this? So I’m a Trekkie. When I was a kid, I started watching Next Generation. So I’m a Star Trek: The Next Generation guy, but that brought me into the world.
