Fifty Years of Star Trek

[Recusant]

On September 8, 1966, the first episode of "Star Trek" aired on American TV. Some of the followers of its many incarnations have decided that September 8 is "Star Trek Day."

So, cheers.   

Boldly go where no one has gone before.

Live long and prosper.

As a Klingon, I approve!
(I'm buying the Gagh...)

BTW, if you haven't watched "Star Trek Continues", it's worth a look.

Very nice homage series to TOS.

Here's their channel (with 7 episodes):

Boldly go where no one has gone before.

Though the original was to, "Boldly go where no man has gone before."

I'm assuming everyone knows the original theme song has lyrics:

No, I didn't know that! I think they're wretched.

Almost completely unrelated: I did know that the "I Dream of Jeannie" theme has lyrics, which actually aren't too bad.

Other TV trivia from the 60s: "The Prisoner" began filming in Portmeirion on September 5, 1966. I didn't hear that until today, though, so rather late to the party.

Great show - horrid remake, though.

[Recusant]

Yes, I watched it, and regretted that decision. I'm glad McGoohan wasn't around to see it. Now apparently Ridley Scott would like to try his hand at screwing with near perfection.

I wasn't aware that the franchise was from that far back. 

Live long and prosper indeed!

Did anybody watch 'Star Trek Beyond' and like it?

[Recusant]

I go to those movies because . . . I can't help myself, but I'm not impressed. It's all about the spectacle, and whatever cerebral content that the pre-"reboot" Star Trek had seems to have been binned.




By the way, I'm digging the Max Actor avatar, joeactor.

Oh, my Asmo! Max Headroom! I remember him!


I knew I had seen something similar to that avatar somewhere before, but I couldn't remember where!
Thank you! Now I can sleep in peace.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
