I was an only child and went through some lonely times that crew Kirk, Spock, Scotty, Bones, Uhura, Sulu, Chekov they were more then just characters to me somehow, they where my friends. I'm not nearly as big of a fan when I was little.... back then they got me through some tough stuff

ArmedGnome37564, I agree. I still love Star Trek! I love all of the iterations from the original series, all the follow up series, all the movies and even the new Star Trek Discovery series. More into Star Trek than Star Wars :)

MuscularDemigod69239, Why do you feel the necessity to tear people apart just because they make a small mistake? You're far, far from perfection yourself!

I watched ST TOS with my father, who loved the show. I will remember this forever. I have since became a trekker (not trekkie) and a huge fan of most of the programs. I especially like the ones that are on 6 nights a week on Heroes and Icons. all of the 5 series that made Trek great. live long and prosper

3/5 Black Knight, I expected my grandson and grand-nephew to have invented that by now. I am in Ohio and they are in Oklahoma and Texas. That way it would be possible to get to them. They are in college right now. So stand by.

Rotted my brain on Star Trek as a kid. The original series and its successors will always have a warm place in my heart.

Player #8156562, Uhura’s first name was never mentioned in the original series. It came about in the recent movie series, and is frequently used in Strange New Worlds.

Gryphon, I to am also an only child & was a "latch key kid" (before the word was Even invented) cause my Mama had (3) jobs at the time & would always be gone trying to keep on keeping me on & so you said it all for me!

When I was a teen I wrote to DeForest Kelly and he wrote back to me . I was so happy, I wasn't sure if he would have time to write. Very nice man. He played Dr.Mccoy.

I am still waiting for the 'Replicater' to get some Gooey Butter Cake, but will settle for a Tri-corder. If that fails I will flip the phaser from kill to stun and ...

I'm a big fan of old western movies. DeForest Kelley, William Shatner and even Leonard Nimoy played in old black and white westerns.
