Mission Statement

Hi, my name is Nick...thanks for stopping by.
This blog will collect my thoughts as I work my way through Star Trek: the Original Series.

Why?

Why not?!

I could talk about the cultural relevancy of the show, or how it exemplified idealist 60's politics (and I'm sure I will along the way)...but the truth is, Star Trek is awesome.  Since I first watched the show, 20-ish years after it first aired on NBC, I've been a fan.  Granted, not a fanatical Trekkie or Trekker (not that there's anything wrong with that), but I did put forth considerable effort to get all 4 collectible glasses Burger King released to promote the new film.  


But I digress...


Starting soon, I'll be posting episodic notes (recaps, insights, trivia, etc.) and invite you to share your thoughts (or play along at home.)


NEXT:  The Cage
