Happy 50th Birthday Star Trek!

As the 50th Anniversary of one of the most influential franchises in the history of entertainment approaches we thought it would be a good idea to get together and pay tribute to it. Myself (Craig), Sandy, Alec Peters of Axanar fame and Nick Cook who brought us the fan series Intrepid spent a long evening talking about Star Trek and bringing our thoughts on the best and worst of the franchise to all you listeners.

Since the discussion went on for a long time it was decided that it would be better to split it into 3 parts. Part 2 is here and Part 3 is here. This first part deals with what Star Trek means to us personally and focuses on Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Next Generation. We hope you enjoy and will join us on this continuing voyage through all three parts.

A special thank you to 331ERock for his amazing cover of the themes of both The Original Series and The Next Generation.
