This just in (Or not) – Star Trek Anniversary: a three year mission that lasted 46

 

So fokes I don’t have to tell you that today’s the Anniversary of the sci fi epic Star Trek when it first aired on September 8, 1966. How to I know you all know? Because you all went to Google and saw the animated Google sign, with the letters dressed up as the famed original cast, even down to the red skirt. Ah Star Trek; it was the definitive science fiction show on TV. It broke through many different barriers (whether intentionally or not), was a well written show that touched on multiple genres like drama, comedy, or even horror, spawned 3 spin offs, 1 prequel, and 10 ten different movies. There are entire conventions devoted to it, technology inspired by it, and its own home grown language (Klingon) has not only gain life in the real world but has its own online institute to teaching it. In short Star Trek is awesome and you should use this day to watch all things Treky on Netflix, and if you don’t have NetFlix then youtube.com. Live long and prosper.
