Four years after J. J. Abrams gave new life to the storied but creaky space adventure franchise, the director-producer has returned with a new chapter that promises to be darker, more exciting, and possibly featuring even more fan service (Does Benedict Cumberbatch play the evil Khan?

But don&#8217;t boldly go just yet: early reviews indicate that the movie&#8217;s slam-bang action might&#8217;ve taken some of the heart out of the venerable series.<\/p>\n<p>A number of us in Media Services are self-professed Trekkies, so we&#8217;re understandably a little excited. We have a big chunk of <i>Star Trek<\/i>&#8216;s 47 year history in our collection.
