I hate Star Trek fans doing this.

Kate Mulgrew said that her favourite thing about playing Captain Janeway was how many young women were inspired to pursue careers in the sciences because of the character.  Nichelle Nichols planned on leaving the show in the second season to pursue a stage career until Martin Luther King asked her to stay in the role, as he believed Uhura was a crucial part of making African-Americans a visible presence on television screens.  James Doohan said his most meaningful act through playing Scotty was convincing a young female fan not to take her own life.  I think that's how Star Trek will be remembered in the future.  Not for its ability to predict broad technological trends or weird science, but for breaking down doors and inspiring people to do better for themselves.
