Of all the things that were ever broadcast, the original Star Trek resonated because it went beyond entertainment. The show presented a future that grappled with timeless philosophical and metaphysical questions and situations that were definitely...fascinating.
CBS is celebrating the 40th anniversary of Star Trek by re-broadcasting the original episodes starting September 17, Sunday. So set your TIVOs or PC-VCRs on stun!

Its been a long voyage... and it turned the two actors into life-long friends and made the show a pop phenomenon. Live Long And Prosper!

Shatner was born in Canada, so this is a sort of coming for him. His first acting gig was at Stratford in Ontario, where he played understudy to Christopher Plummer. Little did they know then, that decades later, they would star in a
Star Trek movie!

Quip Of The Day:
"What is your greatest accomplishment so far?" Shatner asked his partner, echoing a question from the audience.
"I think it's managing to get along with you," Nimoy deadpanned.
An unlikely duo as we'll ever see in this life. Thanks for the memories, Bill and Leonard. You've made the past 40 years special for all of us!

Google Leonard Nimoy and check out the photography site. Is this the same Nimoy as Mr. Spock?

even a genre of homoerotic fiction. If that doesn't make you hurl nothing will. Of course, just the reporter knowing this tells you a lot.

Comedy Central supposedly has a pretty good roast of Shatner airing. If I wasn't convinced he drowned his wife, I might watch it.

Incredible! I grew up in Nicaragua; and I remember watching Star Trek in Spanish, on my grandmother's black and white TV.
Ever since I have been a Star Trek fan.

as the men made a lively joint appearance, their first together in Canada."to boldly go where no-one has gone before."
I bet, just as in their series, when they arrived there was someone there already, despite the disclaimer.
