Star Trek Turns 40
Via GeekPress: StarTrek.com looks at Star Trek at 40.
Like other cultural, artistic or philosophical phemonena (think Mozart, Van Gogh or Jesus) this new show was largely unappreciated in its own time and only later would be seen as what it is today, a world-wide, cultural juggernaut. Thanks to a form of TV recycling called syndication, the show became a hit to generations of young, impressionable kids, including many future scientists, astronauts and actors. What’s ironic is that by today’s ratings standards, it would have been a hit in its original run.
