Star Trek Turns Fifty and Other News Around the Net!
Last Thursday, Star Trek turned 50 years old! Wow! It was fifty years ago that NBC aired the first episode of Trek, “The Man Trap.” It’s unbelievable that this franchise has lasted for fifty years. I have loved Star Trek for as long as I can remember. Star
Star Trek Continues: Embracing The Winds
Yesterday was the fiftieth anniversary of the premiere of the original Star Trek on NBC. Fifty years. That’s incredible. Despite Paramount/CBS’ draconian attempts to shut down all of the Star Trek fan film projects (by halting production of the Axanar film and then r
