Description: This eclectic mix of essays on "Star Trek," the groundbreaking original series created by Gene Roddenberry, offers behind-the-scenes anecdotes, discussions on the show's enduring appeal and influence, and its impact on subsequent science-fiction television programs.
Synopsis: Trekkies and Trekkers alike will get starry-eyed over this eclectic mix of essays on the groundbreaking original Star Trek series. Star Trek writers D. C. Fontana and David Gerrold, science fiction authors such as Howard Weinstein, and various academics share behind-the-scenes anecdotes, discuss the show's enduring appeal and influence, and examine some of the classic features of the show, including Spock's irrationality, Scotty's pessimism, and the lack of seatbelts on the Enterprise. The impact of the cultural phenomenon on subsequent science-fiction television programs is explored, as well as how the show laid the foundation for the science fiction genre to break into the television medium.
