A 1960's sci-fi action adventure series set in the 23rd century based around the crew of the USS Enterprise, representing the United Federation of Planets (including earth) on a five-year mission in outer space to explore new worlds, seek new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has gone before. The Enterprise is commanded by handsome and brash Captain James Tiberius "Jim" Kirk. Kirk's two best friends are Commander Spock (last name unpronounceable to humans) the ship's half-human/half-Vulcan Science Officer and First/Executive Officer (i.e. second-in-command) from the planet Vulcan, and Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Leonard H. "Bones" McCoy. They along with a crew of approximately 430, including helmsman Lieutenant Hikaru Kato Sulu, navigator Ensign Pavel Andreievich Chekov, Officer Lieutenant Nyota Uhura, and chief engineer Lieutenant Commander Christopher Jorgensen "Scotty" Scott – confront strange alien races, friendly and hostile alike, as they explore unknown worlds. the Enterprise battles aliens, megalomaniac computers, time paradoxes, psychotic murderers, and even Khan. The series is known for looking at then (1960's) hot topics such as Sex, War, God, Religion, Politics and Racism and other things that make up the human condition through a lens of the future. The 80 episode TV series which was produced from 1966 to 1969 has now cult characters and has fans all over the world. It is the 23rd century and together with the crew of the Federation starship Enterprise we travel across the galaxy to meet new and exciting life forms on distant planets. The 80 episode TV series which was produced from 1966 to 1969 has now cult character and has fans all over the world. I must agree with the others who have left comments… while the original Star Trek was cheesy by today's standards, it was a very accurate glimpse into what was about to become fact instead of Gene Roddenberry's fiction. The stories told then are just as true today, and the equipment they utilized in the fantasy space ship is now real! My first cell phone reminded me of a communicator… and it wasn't a pin on my chest! Who would have thought a computer in 1966 would fit in the palm of one's hand? Gene Roddenberry! And the cast of "Star Trek" made it believable then. All I ever needed to know about life I learned from Star Trek! There can't be many sci-fi fans who haven't watched at least a few episodes of 'Star Trek'; it is probably the most important and certainly the best known of the classic US sci-fi series. It is almost fifty years since it first aired and even though some of the special effects and set designs show their age the stories still seem fresh. With one exception each story is entirely contained within a single episode so it doesn't matter too much what order you watch it and it is possible to dip in and out without worrying that you've missed some key plot point.<br/><br/>The series follows the adventures of the crew of the Starship Enterprise as they 'explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before'. William Shatner hams it up a bit as Captain James T. Kirk but that is part of the series charm; there may have been several captains in the various 'Star Trek' series but he is still the most famous and it is not without reason that the creators of the newest films decided to set their stories in the 'Kirk Era'. Almost as famous is his first officer, the Vulcan Mr Spock, Leonard Nimoy does a fine job as this logical and emotionless character. The rest of the main cast are also pretty solid as play well know characters: Dr McCoy, Engineer Scotty, Sulu and Uhuru. The cast of main characters is fairly consistent although we lose Yeoman Rand half way through the first series and gain the Russian Chekov at the start of the second season.<br/><br/>There adventures see them meeting some recurring villains such as the Klingons and Romulans but for the most part each episode sees a totally new threat; sometimes this will be a powerful being, other times it is primitive creatures, other times it is strange technology and sometimes it is a world that looks suspiciously like an interesting era in Earth's past (most famously 'Nazi World' and 'Gangster World'). Over the three seasons there are a few really bad episodes but for the most part each adventure is a lot of fun.<br/><br/>Overall this is a classic series for a reason; it is hard to imagine what sci-fi on both television and the big screen would have been like if 'Star Trek' hadn't existed.
"TOS" is an abbreviation for "The Original Series". It is used by fans to diffferentiate between this series and any of the spin-off series. The other series are The Animated Series (TAS), The Next Generation (TNG), Deep Space Nine (DS9), Voyager (VOY), Enterprise (ENT) and Discovery (DSC). The original shooting model of the U.S.S. Enterprise measures 11 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 32 inches tall (3.4 x 1.5 x 0.8 metres), weighing in at about 200 pounds (90 kg). It is currently on display at the gift shop of the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, D.C. The model of the U.S.S. Enterprise was designed by <a href="/name/nm0420142/">Walter M. "Matt" Jeffries</a>. Nearly all Federation ships featured throughout "Star Trek" are based on this model. The crawl spaces on ships were named "Jeffries Tubes" in his honor. Desilu was a production company owned by <a href="/name/nm0000789/">Desi Arnaz</a> and <a href="/name/nm0000840/">Lucille Ball</a>. By the time "Star Trek" and "<a href="/title/tt0060009/">Mission: Impossible (1966)</a>" went into production in 1966, Ms. Ball was the sole owner of the studio. A year later, Paramount bought out Desilu, but Desilu was allowed to continue using their name as long as their shows were in production.<br/><br/>Not every episode ends with Desilu. From "The Immunity Syndrome" through the end of the series, episodes end with the Paramount logo. A black and white print of "The Cage" was screened by <a href="/name/nm0734472/">Gene Roddenberry</a> in September, 1966 on the "World Science Fiction Convention" along with "Where No Man Has Gone Before."<br/><br/>In the 1980s a half black-and-white half color print was made available on VHS tape edited together from "The Menagerie" and a black and white print of "The Cage".<br/><br/>An original, full-color negative was found in the Paramount archives in 1988 (some fans speculate that they simply colorized the black-and-white print, but it seems unlikely). This print - and the full pilot itself - first aired in the United States as part of a special during the strike-shortened second season of "<a href="/title/tt0092455/">Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)</a>," in October 1988. The first scheduled airing of the episode in the U.S. was on the Sci-Fi Channel in 1998.<br/><br/>The reason why some fans think that the color version was colorized is that they don't realize that the camera negative was silent. So what they did was to print the negative, and synch it with the soundtrack to the half black and white version (hence the quality of the sound changing like it had in the previous release). Season 1: Thursdays, 8:30 - 9:30pm. Season 2: Fridays, 8:30 - 9:30pm. Season 3: Fridays, 10:00 - 11:00pm. All times are Eastern/Pacific. (NBC aired 12 or 13 third season episodes during the summer of 1969 on Tuesdays at 7:30 - 8:30, replacing "<a href="/title/tt0061267/">The Jerry Lewis Show</a>," a variety show. Most of them were third season repeats, but "<a href="/title/tt0708485/">Turnabout Intruder</a>" had its first run in that time slot, on June 3, 1969.) No. "Star Trek" had no predetermined ending point. (Captain Kirk makes reference to a "five-year mission" in the introduction, but the show was not intended to stop after five seasons either.)<br/><br/>"Star Trek" was nearly canceled during both the first and second seasons. A very creative and aggressive letter-writing campaign to NBC was enough to save the series for a third season.<br/><br/>But the show was now scheduled in the Friday night 10-11 "suicide" slot. The slot was particularly bad for "Star Trek," whose typical fan would be going out on Friday night. (VCRs, of course, were not around in the late 60s.) After the third season, "Star Trek" was finally canceled.<br/><br/>Roddenberry promised that he would return to Producer status which he held in the first two pilots and the first nine regular episodes, if NBC puts the show to a decent, 7:30PM timeslot. However when NBC put Trek into the "suicide" slot of 10PM Fridays, he stepped off and had very little control over the series during the third season. According to <a href="/name/nm0000638/">William Shatner</a>'s book "Star Trek Memories," the campaign originated when <a href="/name/nm0872856/">Bjo</a> and John Trimble approached Gene Roddenberry, and they asked him for ideas on how to reach other fans of the show (The Internet did not exist in those days, so it had to be letters, phone calls, and face-to-face contact). As a token for their efforts, Bjo Trimble had a walk-on role in <a href="/title/tt0079945/">Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)</a> (1979). Fans of the show to this day regard the couple as the ones who saved "Star Trek." Though science-fiction conventions had been around long before "Star Trek" entered the scene (Gene Roddenberry premiered two episodes at a sci-fi convention), the first convention devoted to "Star Trek" took place in New York City, in 1972. Both were made up on the set by <a href="/name/nm0000559/">Leonard Nimoy</a>. In the script of "<a href="/title/tt0708463/">The Enemy Within</a>" Spock disabled the duplicate Kirk by pistol whipping him. Nimoy felt that it would be too "savage" and unsuitable for such a logical individual as Spock. He asked the director if he could improvise his own idea. He said yes, and Nimoy choreographed the now-famous neck pinch with Shatner for the episode. a5c7b9f00b the We Were Soldiers full movie in hindi free downloadThe Story movie in hindi hd free downloadhindi The Free Clinic free downloadCommand Conquer: Yuri's Revenge full movie in hindi free download hd 720pBaywatch Nights malayalam movie downloadthe Battle of the Stars - Part 2 full movie download in hindiCyrax and Sektor movie free download hdA Flower of Suicide Blooms in India song free downloadBeyond Glory full movie hd 720p free downloadEpisode 1.5 tamil pdf download
