Star Trek 50th Anniversary

Here's my tribute to the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek, with random items off my book shelf, a 10th anniversary window sticker, the 25th Anniversary computer game, Star Trek pop-up book, a 1973 Star Trek Convention program, a Deep Space Nine mini-comic, and a Captain Jean-Luc Picard action figure.
 I don't think I ever got to saw an original Star Trek broadcast, as my sisters overruled my choice of TV viewing in our one TV household. I caught up on Star Trek in syndication after I moved to NYC in my last year at SVA. In many ways I prefer the Star Trek universe over Star Wars as Star Trek was about exploration and discovery and how we handle the moral, social , and political aspects of those new encounters. The show offered a vision of hope for a better tomorrow. That alone made me a fan. Live long and proper.

R.I.P Mr. Spock

I honor of Leonard Nimoy, who passed away yesterday, here are some of pics of a Star Trek convention book I have. Mr. Spock was my favorite character on Star Trek. The episode when he hooked up with Mariette Harley (I had a crush on her) was one of my favorites. Live longer and prosper, his words and spirit will be with us forever. R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy.

 

In further tribute to Leonard Nimoy here's some poster art from the book The Art of Juan Otriz - Star Trek. These are cool retro-style posters he envisioned for each episode title. I picked some featuring Mr. Spock. As Spock would say you might find them, "fascinating".
