Fun Stuff

Trivia:
In the first season of "Star Trek" (1966), only William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy had their names appear in the opening credits. It wasn't until the start of the second season that the opening credits were slightly extended to include DeForest Kelley as well. The names for James Doohan, Walter Koenig, Nichelle Nichols, and George Takei have all appeared in the closing credits for all 3 seasons of the show, since they didn't always appear together in every episode. more
Goofs:
Continuity: The design of the Enterprise model is different in some exterior shots of the ship. Noticeable differences are that the engine nacelles have a differently designed rear and front. In some shots the front of the nacelle does not have the spinning light, it is just a brown circle. Also in the rear shots the back of the nacelle has many little holes whereas in other shots it is solid. The reason for this is some of the shots are stock footage used from the second Star Trek pilot "Where No Man has Gone Before". Since then the design of the ship had changed, however the stock shots were used many times in the actual series, hence the mistakes. more

THE ONE THAT STARTED IT ALL., 9 June 2002
Author: mack3175 from Metairie, Louisiana

This show changed the way we looked at science fiction forever. Before there was The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and the prequel Enterprise. There was Captain James T. Kirk and crew on the Starship Enterprise. Exploring new worlds and new life. Traveling through time and space. Leonard Nimoy is great has Mr. Spock, the half human/half alien science officer and second in command. Deforest Kelly is also great Has Dr. Leonard Bones Mccoy, our favorite whiney Doctor, who came out with favorite sayings like "He's dead Jim" and "I'm a Doctor not a brick layer". The special effects may have seemed hoaky at times. But the show was still great in it's day. Gene Roddenberry was a genuis when he created this show. The show was well acted by everyone . So Star Trek fans live long and prosper.
