Hard to believe it's been 45 years since the series first premiered on TV, but yes, it's true. I actually have vague memories of watching parts of some episodes as a little kid, but I really didn't have a clue as to what was going on. It took watching reruns of the original series in my teens and finding a few friends who were also into the show to make me appreciate it a lot more, but we still had fun pointing out the cornball effects and occasionally bad dialog, sets and visual effects. Here's a clip of the Science Channel's upcoming documentary, TREK NATION, a film project done in collaboration with the late gene Roddenberry's son, Rod about the impact the show has had among a wide range of people. Now, I need to check my cable guide to see if I actually get the Science Channel. The documentary airs on November 30th, so you've got enough time to check your own cable listings.

E3 2011: Star Trek Trailer Wows So Early
As I noted in my Sony press event post, for a pre-alpha build, this is pretty cool looking and shows the dev team is on the right track. Of course, the final proof is in the actual finished product, but so far, it's looking pretty decent in my book...

PrE3: Paramount Digital Announces Star Trek For 2012 Launch
"Deflectors full intensity!" A single screenshot launches a thousand plus internet posts on whether or not this one will be a proper reboot. Without looking at any of them (man, those flames are hot) I predict most of the Trek purists will hate it, the gamer-first crowd will be intrigued and William Shatner will probably tweet and bleat about wanting in on a cut of the profits. All kidding aside, if the game manages to capture half the excitement of the J.J. Abrams reboot, it'll probably be a hit. Let's hope that developers Digital Extremes, Bad Robot and everyone else exceed all expectations low and high.
