In an unapologetically frank open letter, published to a Facebook page called Trek Against Trump, "Star Trek" actors, directors, producers, and crew members expressed their political stance that Donald Trump represents the opposite of everything "Star Trek" stands for and should not be allowed anywhere near the presidency.
"We cannot turn our backs on what is happening in the upcoming election," the letter reads. "Never has there been a presidential candidate who stands in such complete opposition to the ideals of the Star Trek universe as Donald Trump."
The letter was signed by J.J. Abrams (director of the 2009 "Star Trek" reboot), Scott Bakula (the captain from "Star Trek: Enterprise"), Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry (son of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry), many members of the late Leonard Nimoy's family, and many more.

Beam them all down to the third planet...
My God, people, get a life!
I am gonna choose too stupid to be voting for these character actors.
What about mohammedums and criminal & diseased illegal aliens who do pose a threat to others? I guess the pleasure of wallowing in their holier-than-thou attitude is more important than reality and the truth.
there was never continuity after TOS.
in the original, wwiii did not happen and was avoided.
the Kahn stuff was limited to a region not the whole planet.
Next generation went poofy liberal with contradictions, voyager was a disaster and is mostly unwatchable.
The performance of the latest movies may need a re re re boot.
it is the future those may not be there...
The Farce is strong with this group of coddled rich people.
There is no coherent philosphy with regard to the Incarnation of Christ the 2nd person of the Trinity. If intelligent life were to be found elsewhere in the universe I think there would be some explanation needed to reconcile the Gospel with that finding. I’ve never detected one. To ignore that necessity seems somewhat neglectfulfor a”philosphy” that objects to things in the real world
Does Star Trek stand for a candidate who tried to destroy the lives of women who were allegedly violated by her husband, and who laughed about getting a rapist of a 12 year old off with time served?
Does it stand for supporting the party that runs the cities where blacks are gunned down in such large numbers?
That might be what they're voting for, but not me.
If Hitlery wins, I wonder how many of these 70 aholes will be killed by the muzzies and Mexicans Hitlery brings into the country?
Star Trek isn’t real. It’s make believe.
Star Trek isnt real. Its make believe.To the actors who signed that letter, it's probably the "realest" thing they've ever done. Pathetic.
Yup, but so is today's progressivism, liberalism.

And once again I cannot join in a boycott because I already swore off the new Trek after the disastrous second movie in the reboot.
Was this in response to his 400 pound computer hacker comment. I don’t think he was singling out there fans. But if the pants don’t fit!
I agree B5, clearly the best since it’s storyline was so interconnected. The character development was such that the characters evolved as the story unfolded. Same could have been said about Firefly & Space Above & Beyond, but the TV suits killed both. What I found very interesting about Space Above, etc. was, it was a plausible telling of a Earth future & early star travel. I did find the artificial human storyline irritating but other then that it was very intriguing for the first 5 episodes or so. Then something happened to the writing, the quality fell off a cliff and by the end of the season it devolved into mostly forgettable.
They actually think Star Trek is a bona fide?
Good lord.
They do know the Star Trek Universe is fantasy, right?
everyone knows it is “just a story”, the issue is these performers trying to represent that these modern myths are somehow left wing supporting when the evidence says otherwise.
It is akin to the union of concerned scientiests during the cold war
or
the communists claiming the bible was a communist manifesto.
And the next time I need script readers to do my thinking, I’ll go right to those Mensa performers in H-wood.
