In 1966 Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future of our Earth and space travel was realized when the television series Star Trek first aired on NBC. Set in the 23rd century, circa 2278, Earth is now a member of an intergalactic alliance called the United Federation Of Planets, and employs a fleet of starships, manned by uniformed officers and enlisted,both human and alien, to operate them. The first TV series, named Star Trek, chronicles the five year voyage of the Constitution-class starship Enterprise, captained by James Tiberius Kirk(played by William Shatner, and including the exec/science officer Spock, a Vulcan(played by Leonard Nimoy), and the medical officer(and Kirk's pal) Leonard McCoy(played by the late DeForest Kelly). The other primary cast members include the Chief Engineer, Montgomery Scott(played by the late James Doohan), the Communications officer, Uhura(played by Nichelle Nichols), the helmsman/asst science officer Pavel Chekhov(played by Walter Koenig), and lastly, the helmsman/navigator Sulu(played by George Takei). The ratings for Star Trek were always a bit shaky, despite the interesting episodes and plethora of alien species that were often featured. After the series went off the air in 1969, a long run of TV syndication would begin with this show, and it still appears today on the Sci-Fi channel from time to time. The first series was followed by other ST television series: Star Trek-The Next Generation, Star Trek-Deep Space Nine, Star Trek-Voyager, and Enterprise. There have also been ten(10) ST films on the big screen, all featuring the casts from the original series or from that of ST-TNG. Next up: a ST film in 2008, the rumor being that the plot will involve a young James T. Kirk and Spock, together in their first adventure. Talk about all things "Star Trek" here. All replies welcome. Thread starter: Packmule's favorite ST television series: the original 1966 series Favorite Captain: James T. Kirk Favorite alien species: the Andorians Favorite "Enterprise": the Galaxy-class vessel from ST-TNG Favorite babe from ST- T'Pol(played by Jolene Blalock) from Enterprise ![]() Pictured: a montage of the great Starfleet Captains: James Kirk, Jean-Luc Picard, Kathryn Janeway, and Ben Sisco |

I don't know Pack. The last I heard and read, the entire cast was under contract for two sequels after the first movie. I'm very much looking forward to this one though. |

Killing off Spock sounds like a huge mistake to me. The crew have so much to yet accomplish; it seems kind of dumb to kill off one of it's most iconic characters. |

I take this back. I have finally gotten to love this franchise. After looking around I've grown to really enjoy it. I still find the original o be the best. I haven't watched the 2 new movies and in truth I have interest in doing it either. Topic: Has anyone watched the original series on BD? I was wondering how the transfer went. |

Click Meh!

I'm hoping the "Gorn" will be featured in the third ST film following ST and ST-Into Darkness. I just want to see some alien races not named Klingons and Romulans. My favorite alien races among all the various ST films and TV series and in no order: Andorian Vulcan Gorn |
