Happy 50th Anniversary Star Trek!

My gosh, 50 years went by at warp speed

Opening lines by Leonard Nimoy

METV (free to air) is doing it Saturday!

Tomorrow is Yesterday.

Yes, it was brown. :)

SyFy channel has all the movies on. We are watching Voyage HOme now.

Not sure I can watch The Wrath of Khan still.

I had them in the 1970's.

Blish was a fantastic writer.

I saw him in the 80's. And that is funny. I wonder how many of them he had

Yes he was.

"The Gamesters of Triskelion" is a second season episode of the original science fiction television series Star Trek.

Captain Kirk and his companions are abducted into slavery and trained to fight as gladiators for the gambling entertainment of three disembodied beings who call themselves "the providers".

Roddenberry understood what was coming (as with many of the episodes).

This was a huge deal back in the day.

"Plato's Stepchildren" is the tenth episode of the third season of the original science fiction television series, Star Trek, first broadcast November 22, 1968. It is episode No. 65, production No. 67, written by Meyer Dolinsky, and directed by David Alexander. This episode is notable for depicting an inter-racial kiss between a white man (Kirk) and a black woman (Uhura), which was daring for 1960s US television.

What is old is new again:

Cool find!!!

Free to play Star Trek Online just hit consoles. It's actually not a bad game if you love Star Trek lore. Me I've watched all of the series multiple times and the movies, besides TOS. I have never managed to get through all of TOS yet.

Voyager was the best for all the Borg lore and I think Q was the all time best entity encountered.

.c.c

But you have to watch all the TOS!! Old and a bit cheesy on cheap sets but that is what started the movement!!

I know and I have been meaning to. It's just im in my 40s and it's a bit dated. TNG was my passion though. DS9 was dark, then along came Voyager to recapture that exploration aspect. Ent was a bumpy ride but worth it in the end.

It's been said that Gene Roddenberry was influenced by positive ET to make Star Trek. I think many starseeds definitely gravitate to it. What if there really is a Prime Directive that keeps advanced benevolent ET from contacting us until we are ready?

:jgsttngclap:

If nothing else, Star Trek has always been optomistic about the future of mankind.

Love the smilie !! You always make the best.

My wife and I attended the Star Trek Missions convention in NYC.....fun times....Walter Koenig (Chekov) looks frail....the next gen panel was cool except some guy proposed to his GF during the Q&A....seems she said no....Awkwaaaaaard....

Rod Roddenberry was pretty cool....he didn't charge for autograph and chatted with fans about his father......Julie and Adam Nimoy was also there to talk about their father.....

And that blond Thrall was amazingly fuckable.

Trump will found the Federation.

Now that would have been fun. Would loved to have been there! I didn't know anyone charged for flippin' autographs till I heard Shatner did before he quit giving them all together.

Oh dude!!! That is priceless!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice!

LIve long and bung hard!

The line must be drawn here!
No further!
