I've never understood the fascination with Star Trek. Some of the movies were good(Star Trek:IV, Generations), TNG was mildly entertaining when I would watch it because my dad was, and the original I just could never figure out exactly what people liked about it, although I admit I have seen very little of it. Perhaps all of this is why I thought the reboot was kick ass, and I am looking forward to the next one.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
