Space, The Final Frontier….
It has been fifty years since Gene Roddenberry first showed the world his idea of a bright and wonderful future. While I wasn’t around for those early voyages, I was able to join up with the crew of the Enterprise when I went to the movies with my cousins to see Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. After that, I watched Star Trek: The Next Generation off and on (when weather would permit), but my primary connection to Trek was through the films.
Within the last decade or so, I’ve really sunk my teeth into the adventures of not only the Enterprise, but of Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and Enterprise. Voyager has become my second favorite Trek series (behind TOS), and Janeway is my favorite Captain.
I’ve written an extensive look into my relationship with Star Trek a good bit back, and you’re free to check it out. For now, I just want to acknowledge the fact that Star Trek has had a huge impact on the world and share a few photos of my favorite characters. Also included in this collage is a photo of the crew from the excellent fan production Star Trek Continues. They are the only fan production that I’ve ever donated to, and I’ll support and promote them until the day I die!
I hope you enjoyed these photos and, as always, thanks for reading. I’ve neglected my blog in recent weeks due to work, but I promise to write more in the next few weeks. In fact, there’s a convention coming up in less than a month in Lafayette, LA, and I plan to be there. I hope to see a few of you there!
