Hearing Nimoy talk really makes me sad cause I'll never get to hear him speak again in anything new. Ah well, such is life, he lived well and entertained millions. Great man.

[@daffidavit]

I'm very proud to say the D.C. Fontana (Dorothy) was an alma mater of my high school. She was graduated from Passaic Valley Regional High School in Little Falls, N.J. sometime in the late fifties, many years before I was. Nobody talked about it when I was in school, probably because Star Trek was not yet in syndication. I think that's something to brag about. She wrote a few of the best episodes in the Original Series like "Charlie X" and "Tomorrow is Yesterday" and a few others. She went on to write in the Next Generation and possibly some of the early movies. Dorothy, I hope you're still with us and if you ever read this stuff, you were wonderful.

[@cherylresnick-cortes1939]

I was 14 when I started watching Star Trek in 1966. I wrote a letter (I still have a copy) to keep the show on the air, I have been attending Trek conventions since the mid 1970's, and I write fanzine poetry (have done so since the late 1970's). Star Trek was positive, hopeful, demonstrated what was best in people, and displayed a future where we were all able to get along regardless of race, religion, nationality, or even what planet you came from. As Kirk has said a place where "Mr. Spock and I are brothers..." Nothing then, or since, has painted so beautiful a future for humankind, as Star Trek.

[@sjr7822]

Hard to believe William Shatner is now 85 and still riding horses for show. Multi-talented Just watched him and Sterns in a youtube clip, like his tongue in cheek sense of humor

[@switchbladekid1365]

Are you sure that he is actually riding or just posing atop his mount for a few photos? I ask because he's awfully heavy for a real rider.

[@Rickwmc]

I didn't watch the original run in the 1960's. But in the 1970's I'd arrive home from a hard day at college classes with 3 hours of study facing me in the evening. But my mother heated a TV dinner and gave it to me while I watched Star Trek reruns on WGN-TV Monday through Thursday. It was magical.

[@williamanthony9090]

We didn't get a second TV in the house until 1969. Before that, for the most part, we watched what our parents watched. Fortunately my parents were science fiction fans. I got to watch Star Trek in primetime!

I don't know who wrote this. I agree with all the actors who played these magnificent rolls in this series. When it began in the 60s I told my, then wife, that this would be one of the greatest programs to ever have been produced. I was & am correct about one thing in my life. Thank You, Gene, Bill, Leonard, DeForest, James, Nicole, & all of you whose names I have forgotten already. To coin Deforest's comments it been a Great Ride. Thank You all !!!!

[@lmoore5264]

Star Trek is so engrained into me. I grew up with it as it was in syndication. I was only 2 yrs old when the Cage pilot was created. Spock is my hero and I learned so much. I am along in years now and it still touches me and takes me back to my childhood and probably always will. As you get older and the world changes around you, you will find yourself wishing things were again as you remembered them when you were much younger, it brings a certain comfort inside.

[@cynthiarobinson5053]

Nichelle's story about meeting Dr. King always brings a tear to my eyes. Wonderful.

[@Morgana888]

Thank you for the happy tears that stream down my face. I began in the 60's not realising what Vietnam was. Then in college my entire gang dared anyone to use the parlor for anything except Star Trek at 5 pm Monday - Friday. Mr. Roddenberry's ideas were coming through to us in the 70's. We were living what he wrote. Thank God for Star Wars which was conceived BECAUSE of Star Trek. Lucas was inspired by ST and when Star Wars did so well, Paramount brought Star Trek back to the big screen, a family reunion begat....and you all know the rest. This was grand!

[@cjgangi0123]

I love listening to DFK talking about "the hippies". He's the best.

I remember watching ST as a kid in re-runs every day when I came home from school. For that one hour this un-happy kid could leave this world and be some were where people like me had a voice. I love ST in fact I have a com badge that will one day go with me on the great adventure that is when I die. It means that much to me I am sure that there will be a few who will make something of this. But one thing I have learned no one is all ways right and no one is all ways wrong. Peace and long life.

[@davidburroughs7068]

Lee, having read your comment about Shatner's Star Trek Memories, well, you won't get teasing from a kid who when the show was live made his own communicator from a fine piece of one by three pine and handwriting the controls on with pencil.... It is unfortunate we must now think of the original as Star Trek TOS, but only because others were denied our coming of age experiences, richer to us for being our own. Personally, I was always an Enterprise fan first, then Shatner, and last the others. Good luck to you, sir.

[@HonkytonkSue2]

Star Trek was the best of us as human beings on this planet and beyond. We wanted a better world, where there was equality, empathy, dare we say love for our fellow beings. No more war, no more aggression, no more territorial possession, a cooperation of knowledge, and peaceful co-existence. Is it too late to make this a reality now, even only with the people on this earth now?

[@1978rharris]

It's never too late to make it real now! And do you know who is MOST likely to make it happen? Star Trek fans are! Don't you agree? :)

[@MrSymbiosis1]

Just attended the last Star Trek Convention at Cherry Hill NJ. Nichelle Nichols was there and it tore my heart out to see how time has caught up with her. She was talking about her experiences with the series, and was answering questions, however she began to answer questions in a confused way. There was a lot of nervous laughter among the audience as we looked at each other and didn't know how to respond. We still love her, but felt bad that this has finally, happened to her. I still got her autograph, and was in awe of being in her presence!

[@ksol1460tv]

I have this idea that if she'd cut back on the cocktails she'd be fine. She's not an alcoholic but she likes to have a couple and she might not be able to handle them memorywise as well as in younger days.

I've been watching the original series on Netflix since the summer | it's fantastic | William Shatner De Kelley and Leonard Nimoy made so many great performance decisions it boggles the mind | I've noticed how many single take scenes were shot, long single shot scenes | it has the effect of watching a stage play | I also noticed how big and important a role Uhura plays in the stories | She, Zulu, Scotty and Chekhov are all great | Also I love the music and the sound design | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ + ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | fantastic

[@buck_maize111]

I just discovered star trek.. and im hooked. Nearly finished the original seasons. Can't wait to watch the movies

[@pdoylemi]

+Nick Clutterbuck See you in 20 years when you catch up! I almost envy you. I watched the first episode with my parents when I was five, and several more, but did not really get hooked until the early 1970s when my local station started re-running episodes at 5 o'clock every day. It was "must see TV" for us. hen we watched the Star Trek Cartoon when it came out, and it was nearly as cerebral as the show - something we never saw on Saturday mornings before. Then of course came Star Wars, and then the Star Trek movies and all the new series, and it was a wonderful ride. I sort of wish I could take that ride again, but I can't. I know every twist and turn and while I enjoy going back, it is like Scotty said in the TNG episode "Relics" - "Ah, it's like the first time you fall in love. You don't ever love a woman quite like that again." You have a great ride ahead of you.

I love the "mythology" idea that Shatner has at the end. I've never thought of it that way, and I think he is absolutely right!

[@davidmustoe4935]

+pvtawol (Spock) Indeed! (-:Actually I think William Shatner answered his own question. I think Star Trek is an example of modern day mythology. Mythology inspires creative thinking and dreamers,that end up contributing to reality. I think cultures have always been mythology driven. I remember reading about a woman who went into the space program because of Nichelle Nichols. We even make people mythical. If Mount Olympus actually existed, and people were allowed to gaze into it for awhile, bserving the Greek Gods so to speak. What would they do? Paint them? Draw them? Then later make statues of them? When people gaze at the stars on the red carpet, they don't paint or draw, but in this modern era, they do take pictures, and try to get their autographs. Mythology is literally a part of our reality. I think the mythology of Star Trek is what actually created such a 'storm the gates' following.

Even though a committee from Boston University concluded unequivocally that MLK plagiarized major portions of his dissertation, they were too cowardly to strip him of his wrongly awarded doctorate. Still, he's no more a "doctor" than any other person who cheated his way through the academics of the institution.

[@doristhomson3082]

I watched Star Trek from the beginning and still enjoy re-runs of the episodes today. I also watched the spin-offs, but was never really that impressed with them,. Once in awhile they hit it, but they missed the mark too many times. Star Trek came at just the right time. People were becoming more and more aware of the racial situation in the US, and many of us were thrilled with the diversity and daring of Star Trek. I went to many many of the conventions and wrote many letters trying to get the series revived, but they went for the movies instead. I would say it was my favorite tv show of all time.

Perhaps Star Trek is representative of the world in which we all want to live. Onboard the Starship of life with good friends that, even though very different, have each others back and succeed as a team and, in the end, never let each other down. Qualities such as, loyalty, duty, understanding, integrity, vulnerability, deep respect, adventure, risk, excitement and of course surviving successfully for the next episode. I.D.I.C -- Infinite Diversity in Infinite Combination - with a constant effort to understand those differences. "These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before."

No coincidence, The Space Shuttle 'Enterprise' was named after, USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)

[@colquitt74]

Also not a coincidence that members of the cast were at the inaugural presentation of the Enterprise and the marching band started to play the Star Trek theme as it was unveiled. Ironically enough... There is a tie between Star Trek and 2001 A Space Odyssey. That connection being Richard Nixon. He watched 2001 created a budget for NASA and told them that he wanted a functional shuttle craft like the one in the movie. So when the first one came to be, they named it 'Enterprise' as a direct homage to the series that was an indirect inspiration. Many who worked at NASA were huge fans of the series and saw inspiration within it as to what could be possible. To this day, This show, the original series, has been the inspiring muse that has pushed the evolution of technology. If you don't believe it... Look up various pioneers in the technology fields. Many of them were huge fans... The cell phone... Which everyone seems to be addicted to these days. The most popular models for a number of years was the flip phone... And I must confess, I programed mine to make the communicator sound when it opened up. Lol

I didn't get into Star Trek through the original show but through the movies. On the small screen, TNG and Voyager were my shows. I didn't get to really properly watch the original until a rerun in 1999 when I was 11, where it was paired with new episodes of Voyager (at the time the fifth season in my county). My first episode was "Devil in the Dark" and I was amazed how nuanced and just well written it was (though I wouldn't have put it that way back then as a lad). I was intimately familiar with the big screen adventures, but that was quite an introduction to my heroes' early years. It's the kind of show where you discover new things every time. After film school and my own time spend watching and researching old movies, knowing what films at the time looked like, again gave me a new perspective on the show in the late 2000s. Star Trek is just my favorite for its varied and of ten though provoking stories, great characters and the optimistic future I know we are capable of reaching a semblance of. Even the new shows still carry that in their hearts... more or less.

There was a magic to TOS that is hard to explain unless you actually grew up watching it before the movies came out. Before it was popular, in other words. We watched the show in my home, and my parents told me I was fascinated by the show from the beginning, even as a toddler. When it was canceled, it went right into syndication: M-F. Needless to say I've seen every episode more times than I can count. The new movies don't capture that. But then, I think the main vision of ST as a whole has been degenerating since Roddenberry died.

[@pdoylemi]

Watching Kelly talk about the Hippies was interesting to me because I was a boy when the series first aired, living in Virginia, and I recall some of the (shall we say) less enlightened people living there griped about this "commie, hippie show", and yet they had the episode with what I still think of as the "space hippies" who commandeered the Enterprise to seek Eden which they thought was a planet, and they found it only to discover that the fruit was poison and it was not really paradise. The show was careful to be sympathetic to the utopian ideal that a lot of hippies (and frankly today, libertarians, and even Trumpists) were clinging to while bringing the message that their utopia was a dream, not reality, and that working together and accepting compromise and difference is likely as close as we will get. In other words, they were not one sided - they pointed to flaws in many ways of thinking.

[@endorbr]

D.C. Fontana hit it on the head about people and television. "Too cerebral" still pretty much means death for good shows even today. Shove The Biggest Loser or American Idol or some other nonsense at people and they'll sit happy all day long dumbly staring at the box in their living room. Ask people to think and don't veil it well enough in entertainment and you can forget having an audience.

I always loved this show. The movies were great too but all of the other Star Trek that followed the original series and movies 1-6 just wasn't the same and I didn't care much for them. Star Trek just wasn't Star Trek without Kirk, Spock, Chekov, Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, and Dr McCoy and I just couldn't gain interest in any of the others.

William Shatner is the only one alive from Twilight zone and Star Trek.

Star Trek is William Shatner, and William Shatner is Captain James T. Kirk.
