It's time to resurrect the rallying cry...
By falcon

..."STAR TREK LIVES!"

A lot of you are too young to remember when Star Trek (no bloody TNG, DS9, VOY, or ENT) was cancelled in 1969. When it left NBC, fans were determined to keep its memory alive. This led to the first Star Trek convention in New York City in 1970. A couple of hundred people were expected to attend...over 3,000 showed up.

Folks, Star Trek will never really be dead, because it embodies a lot of the things that give us hope for the future. It shows us that, if we can overcome our basic instincts, we can not only survive but thrive. If we can learn to co-exist on this planet with other humans, we can do so in space with non-humans. If we can discover the wonders of this world, we can certainly discover the wonders out there. If we, as a society, can grow up and start looking toward the future, instead of embracing the past and huddling in the corner of our room with our security blanket, we can truly become the people that Gene Roddenberry envisioned.

Star Trek: Enterprise may be gone, but it will be fondly remembered, and some day there will once again be new Star Trek to enjoy, bash, defend, pick apart, lust over, draw blueprints for, build models for, and generally look forward to.

STAR TREK LIVES!
