STAR TREK AT FIFTY - A TRIBUTE: I LIKE STAR TREK

摘要

If wisdom comes with age, then Star Trek - the series that's taught us diplomacy, morality, and workplace ethics since 1966-has to be up there with Kant and Nietzsche by now. With this summer's release of the thirteenth movie, Star Trek Beyond, the franchise makes us look forward to its future as much as we appreciate its past. All of it. The original series, the movies, the various spinoffs, the rebooted movie franchise. Each version of Star Trek has filled some niche in my life. I watched the original show with my father, a guy who had little use for television otherwise. I went to the movies early and often as an aimless youth. Watched Next Generation as a young parent, holding one of two indifferent bottle-sucking infants when they were fresh off late-night crying jags. I took in Deep Space Nine in fits and starts while writing books, and Voyager during my divorce. I finally watched all four seasons of Enterprise on Hulu in a weeklong jag last summer.
