Trek. Have you ever asked yourself that question, What meaning has this show had in these people’s lifes? Does the show’s message hold some kind of ideal for the future? Does the show somehow create a way for people to feel they “fit in?” In the movie Trekkies, the Star Trek actors and fans answer these questions and others.

    Star Wars vs Star Trek is a rivalry that has been going on since 1977 when Star Wars released A New Hope in theaters. Although Trekkies seem to believe that Star Trek is better than Star Wars, they would be wrong. Star Wars The Force Awakens broke the box office record and has a net worth of $1.783 billion, while Star Trek’s highest net worth is only $282 million. Darth Vader is the greatest cinematic villain of all time, bar none. Star Trek's Khan was, in all fairness, one of the best as well. But a plastic-chested, Shakespeare-quoting Ricardo Montalban or venom-spewing Benedict Cumberbatch can't hold a lightsaber to Vader. Star Wars also has better weapons, Star Wars’ lightsaber, a pulsating beam of light that is a sword that slices through…

In season one’s twenty-third episode called “Space Seed” primeval stereotypes of women and Native Americans are exploited to boost ratings for the show.…

    The documentary "How William Shatner Changed the World" is about the global effect that the original series of Star Trek had on technology throughout the world. The documentary talks about the technology that currently existed when Star Trek originally came out in 1966 and its comparison to the 'futuristic' technology that was onboard the Star Trek ship the 'Enterprise'.

Some of these film techniques include various camera shots, archival footage and montages to name a few.…

    The Enterprise was the first space shuttle ever built and was named after the Enterprise star ship in the science fiction series of Star Trek. Science Fiction television shows have created a great reflection and influence on society. Two great examples of the Science Fiction series which had great influence and reflection of our society are the Star Trek and the Stargate series. The early 1960 series of Star Trek came at a time of immense change in our society to include the Civil Rights Movement, Women Equality Movement, and the Protest of the Vietnam War. Similar to Star Trek the modern 2000s series of Stargate was created at a time when America has become an increasingly larger military power engaging in more war’s than any other decade, followed with a severe economic depression, and coupled with the Gay Rights Movement. By looking at how both of these television shows influenced and reflected the different decades, one can learn a lot about our society and cultural differences.…

    People who are able to set their mind to something and to finish it through are a spectacle not often seen today. For many, obstacles and setbacks on their path dissuade their further attempts but for those who push through, no matter what is in front of them either pushing or holding them back, eyes focused on the end goal, they are able to achieve whatever they want. The members of Theta Tau exemplify this mentality through upholding the fraternity's three pillars: brotherhood, service, and professionalism. One notable member is Robert R. Gilruth, one of the first and some say greatest, pioneers of the space frontier. Everything about Robert R. Gilruth is inspiration from his early college career all the way to his end at the National Aeronautics…

    The television series Star Trek: Deep Space 9 takes place on a space station where different planet's cultures, morals and religious values collide. These differences cause the conflicts that form the basis of the stories. Some people in these cultures lead very nominalistic lifestyles, while others are more realistic and extremely devout in their beliefs in their Gods. These differences can be seen in episodes such as "In The Hands of the Prophets," "The Abandoned," or "Life Support." The struggle between nominalism and realism has been a familiar idea on earth ever since the theme of a God was introduced. This same struggle will always exist forever unless there is some definitive proof of God. The more realist ideas of Descartes and John Locke assist in one's understanding of Star Trek's themes. Descartes and Locke's epistemological philosophies are reflected in the philosophical aspect of Gene Roddenberry's ideal society.…
