Olympics aside, this may be the biggest London event of the year. At least for Trekkies.
The actors who played captains on the five live-action "Star Trek" television shows - William Shatner, Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew and Scott Bakula - are set to appear on stage for the first time. The five are due to attend the "Destination Star Trek London" fan convention, which takes place between October 19 and October 21 (get tickets here).

All of them had their charms.
Enterprise had an opportunity to deal with the subtleties of the main species, but no, they went into Time Travel instead.
That’s what wrecked the series for me.

Right after Seven of Nine showed up, I started watching “intently”.

I agree. T’pol, just like Seven of Nine, was most probably the reason why I kept watching.

I liked Kes better. She looked good with the long hair too.

I like Janeway.....babysitting a hot Borg blond I lost interest when it became clear that the pair of 'em couldn't program the hollodeck for mud wrestling.

That much awesomeness in one place could tear a hole in the space time continuum. On the other hand, Janeway and Sisko will offset the awesomeness. Heck, Sulu alone could tear a hole in....
Never mind, I'll go to my room.

You know, it is difficult to predict what people might be like with basically unlimited wealth and resources - perhaps some kind of altruistic “greater good” behavior would kick in most of the time for most people. I think Roddenberry was fairly vague (with good reason) on this, but it is worth considering that the “floor” would be raised quite a bit in such a society with unlimited fusion power, terraforming, essentially “unlimited” real estate, and so on. They have hinted a few times on Star Trek that the crew didn't HAVE to be on these dangerous missions, it was a calling and privilege for the few.
Most of the poor people in the US have possessions that the wealthiest person 150 years ago couldn't have even imagined, and they live much longer to boot.
