you [Music] September the 8th 1966 Gene Roddenberry's galaxy spanning Star Trek saga damnit little NBC and how transformed science fiction television from tired stereotypes into a shan'er rich with multi-layered drama article ii diverse characters and real-world issues while it wasn't a big hit at the time Star Trek eventually developed a loyal following that continued through an animated series the long-running film franchise and other live-action television series from the late 1980s onward the show sometimes hired iconic science fiction writers including Richard Matheson Robert Bloch Theodore sturgeon and Harlan Ellison who want a Hugo Award for his episode City on the edge of forever while Isaac Asimov developed a friendship with Roddenberry to commemorate this momentous occasion let's look back at the groundbreaking series during which the crew of the enterprise donate on far-flung peacekeeping and rescue missions answered distress calls on distant planets and faced confrontations with warm and daring airlines you're watching how they changed and even though there has been plenty written about this iconic show there always seems to be something new to learn Captain Pike preceded Captain Kirk in aired pilot the cage which finally debuted on home video in 1986 featured an almost entirely different cast and crew with mr. spork being the lone hold over on the bridge when the classic team appeared in the first official episode Jeffrey hunter The Searchers starred as Captain Christopher Pike who gets abducted by telepathic aliens for psychological experiments involving a human woman the original pilot was actually pretty good but the cast lacked the same warmth and diversity that would ultimately emerge Mysterio rejected the original pilot allegedly for being too cerebral and lacking in action greater Gene Roddenberry's sought to make another at hunter chose to move on to other projects in the end it was good that embassy rejected the original pilot because the Shia was very bumpered into something much stronger Pike returned for two episodes and the movie report several upsets in the producers of Star Trek creates a two-part episode called the menagerie that utilized much of the original pilot mr. Spock was taking an out battle scarred and disfigured Captain Pike back to the planet Alice for which was off-limits to Federation vessels for known reasons and he would not reveal why until he seized control of the enterprise and face the court-martial it was a clever and cost-effective way to reuse the an ad material and craft a new storyline in JJ Abrams is 2009 movie report writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman brought back Pike played by Bruce Greenwood his Kirk's superior officer and mentor on his first mission in space it was a nice nod to the original series the original number 1 was a woman in the original Paula gin voluntarist girlfriend and future wife Michelle Barrett with Kirk's first officer who still had to deal with the captain's his presumptions about women on the bridge test audiences allegedly did not like a character because they thought she was too pushy and try to be like the man but modern audiences would not think of any of those things when Pike was kidnapped she led a mission to the planet to rescue him and proved herself to be a capable leader but this was about a year before the women's liberation movement began gasps sitting in America the Star Trek universe finally got its first female captain with Captain Kathryn Janeway in Star Trek Voyager which aired between 99 five and 2001 module pilot Roddenberry returned in many episodes of the original series to play nurse Christine Chappell who had unrequited romantic feelings towards mr. Spock she played a more nurturing character but did not have the command duties of her original role following that Barret Roddenberry who has been called the first lady of Star Trek had rules in every Star Trek series playing West Chapel Luton and ham res and other characters and Star Trek the animated series dr. no Troy and the voice of the enterprise computer the Star Trek The Next Generation and the computer voices on Deep Space nine Voyager and Enterprise she also appeared as dr. chapel in Star Trek the motion picture and as a commander chapel in Star Trek for the watch home though she provided voice work to other films including their 2009 reboot and various video games after her husband died in 1991 Barret Roddenberry served as executive producer into series he had created Earth final conflict in 1997 1999 and Andromeda 2000 and 2005 she passed away in 2008 but not before recording you guessed it mr. fleet computer voice for JJ Abrams is 2009 movie reboot Kirk had a dark past before Star Trek prior to venturing into space and encountering all sorts of intergalactic nemesis like the Romulans Klingons and the super human can William Shatner appeared in a variety of talk film and television projects in Roger Corman's underrated film the intruder he played a racist agitator in a southern town who pushes things too far in Incubus a film shot entirely in the Esperanto language he played a good-hearted man with whom as syllables falls in love and green her sister and setting about retribution his appearance as a man a gremlin on the wing of a plane in episode of The Twilight Zone he's famous but he also made a turn in possibly the best horror TV episode ever the Grim Reaper on thriller as a man who warns his aunt that the previous owners of the portrait of the tide healer character which he now owns have died violently Spock has greenish skin but was originally meant to be read while Spock skin has a slight green tint to it the original plan was to give him red skin but back in the mid to late 1960s a majority of households still had black-and-white televisions so his skin would appear very dark when viewed on their sacs in one early episode however Spock looked really clean someone messed up the color palette that day one wonders if the chance to see the shows in color during their subsequent syndicated runs help lure new viewers and get excited longtime fans the chance to rewatch the episodes in the way they had never seen them before William Hartnell Leo not anymore l got tinnitus onset after an explosion on the site of one of the Star Trek firms both stars developed tinnitus and ringing or buzzing in the ears that is often permanent and can be debilitating in for some sufferers after seeking help all across the country shall not learn to deal with it through habituation by wearing hearing device for time that produced white noise to help him cope he has helped others as well and talked people down from suicide Shatner told in the interview for the Aquarian a famous musician got a hold of McCord I didn't know him he knew her got it because I was never a spokesman for tinnitus at one period and I talked him down and encouraged him to do habitation you know why it sound because when I was asked when I first caught it how it affected my life from 1 to 10 it was nine and a half now I don't hear it except when you and I are talking about it a lot of Star Trek technology became reality if one looks at the original series much of the technology being used ultimately became real the communicators are like modern cell phones the earpiece is worn by hula and Spock are basically Bluetooth devices the universal translators are echoed by the use of modern voice recognition software tricorders have become the logger to peace yes the portable biological lab used by NASA and the use of interactive video screens telepresence is akin to current video conferencing while Enterprise crew members recorded audio and hard cases cassette tapes they looked like soon to be more than floppy disks whoosh and how outdated in our digital era there have been more than 125 Star Trek related video games since 1971 more than 125 video games based on who inspired where the Star Trek series have been created beginning with a text game written in basic in 1971 in stand-up arcade game in 1972 and later early computing gaming systems like the Commodore 64 and Atari 5200 through to modern ps3 and xbox 360 consoles many of the titles are quite colorful like the kabocha alternative clinging on a gird Delta Vega meltdown on the ice planet it would probably be hard to collect them all at this point or to be able to play them unless one owns all the various video game platforms required but perhaps someone does like comment and subscribe for more hope you enjoyed our reviews and you can suggest a theme for next in the comments take care friends
