Star Trek Anniversary

[shakatany]

Today is the 40th anniversary of the premiere of "Star Trek " (TOS). The first episode aired was "Man Trap" and with that showing an awful lot of viewers were trapped, hopelessly hooked. "Star Trek" helped me survive the dark years of my adolescence - it gave me hope that there would be a bright future where humanity wouldn't blow itself up and eventually get its act together and journey to the stars boldly going where no Earth human has gone before. I never cared much for any of the subsequent spin-offs but TOS will forever have a place in my heart.
