I GREW UP WATCHING THE ORIGINAL STAR TREK AND THE EARLY 70S ANIMATED SERIES WITH MY BROTHER. I GOT TO WHERE I COLLECTED ALL THE BOOKS ALSO. THE LOG SERIES , NEW ADVENTURES, THE TECHNICAL MANUEL , THE CONCORDANCE , THE JAMES BLISH #'D SERIES. I LOVED IT !!! I WAS PSYCHED WHEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE MOTION PICTURE CAME OUT. I WAS LEARY ABOUT THIS NEW SHOW ST: NEXT GENERATION WAS PREMIERING. I GOT OVER THAT!!!
I FINISHED WATCHING MY SEASON 5 STNG SET AND WAS GOING THROUGH THE EXTRAS- AND HEARING FROM THE WRITERS ETC - THE PASSION THEY HAVE IN WHAT THEY DO, TO MAKE A SHOW THAT WOULD CHANGE THE WORLD- AND THE LOYALTY THEY HAD TOWARDS GENE RODDENBERRY.HE IS THE REASON FOR THIS POST.
THEY SHOWED A TRIBUTE TO THE LATE GREAT GENE RODDENBERRY- WHEN THEY DEDICATED A BUILDING AT PARAMOUNT TO HIM. LISTENING TO HIM SPEAK- HIS VISION, HIS PASSION , HIS BELIEVE IN EQUALITY , HIS HOPE THAT IN FUTURE THERE WOULD BE NO MORE GREED AND WE WOULD BE MORE HUMANE TO EACH OTHER , AND SHOW THAT WE ARE ALL EQUAL IN EVERY WAY. HIS SOFT, GENUINE , KIND DEMEANOR AND VOICE- THIS IS A MAN I WISH I COULD HAVE MET.ITS A NO WONDER HE INSPIRED SO MANY PEOPLE- AND CHANGED SO MANY LIVES- AND TO THIS DAY STAR TREK IS STILL KNOWN AND VALID. HIS IDEAS OF GENIUS- THE THINGS WE SAW ON TV THAT WE HAVE NOW- ALL I CAN SAY IS WOW!
HERES TO YOU MR. RODDENBERRY- TO ALL YOUR KINDNESS YOU SHOWED FOLKS,THE COURAGE TO CHALLENGE IDEAS AND SOCIAL STANDARDS OF THE DAY AND THE HOPE YOU INSTILLED IN PEOPLE WHO MET YOU- AND THE HOPE AND INSPIRATION I HAVE GAINED FROM SEEING THIS- AND I NOW AN ONE OF MILLIONS , THAT WISH I COULD HAVE HAD 5 MINUTES TO TALK WITH THIS MAN- TO SHAKE HIS HAND- AND SAY- THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNIVERSE!
