The Needs of Many
Did Star Trek Into Darkness satisfy the needs of many, or was its dense plot overpowered by the needs of the few, or the one? As ever, J.J. Abrams' vision of an alternate future has divided fans and critics alike. But what did you think? We present our in-depth, spoiler-filled review, and find out what cinemagoers and critics had to say.
Bone Dry
As a life-long fan of Star Trek, playing Leonard 'Bones' McCoy in J.J. Abrams' Star Trek (2009) and hit follow-up Star Trek Into Darkness, was a dream come true for Karl Urban. The New Zealand-born actor talks about his love for the show, and his hopes for the five-year mission.
Nog For Profit
A Ferengi in Starfleet uniform? Over the course of Deep Space Nine's seven seasons, the ever-resourceful Nog overcame the constraints of his profit-orientated upbringing to embrace the values of the Federation, and for actor Aron Eisenberg the role was an equally transformative experience.

Peak Practice
Artist Bob Peak created some of the most striking movie posters in the history of film before lending his signature style to classic posters for Star Trek's first five cinematic outings. His son, Tom Peak, tells us about his father's work, and a new book celebrating his legacy.
The Gadget Man
Prop master Andrew Siegel reveals that, when it comes to props, the devil is in the detail.
The Kids Are Alright
Nurturing the young has always provided a source of dramatic tension in Star Trek, from problem children Charlie X and Miri, to the difficult early lives of Kirk and Spock as witnessed in J.J. Abram's movie timeline. It seems growing up is hard to do, even in the future.
