I do feel that [Alex] Kurtzman and Noga [Landau] have both maintained the vision, if you will, of Roddenberry, and enhanced it. And I was blessed with this group, the Starfleet Academy cast, because they had done months and months and thousands of hours together by the time I directed them. They had found each other's rhythm.

I believe in discipline. I do want to—as we say—live long and prosper. There were so many Sunday mornings I woke up groaning: I'll never do that again, after debauched nights at college spent on the beer bus. I've learned that, if you take care of yourself, mother nature will be good to you.

Plato's Politeia (the work we call The Republic thanks to Cicero's Latin mistranslation) describes the soul as having three parts: reason ( logistikon), spirit ( thumos), and appetite ( epithumia).

The Science Museum is boldly going where no science museum has (probably) gone before, opening a season of Star Trek events that beam sci-fi imagination straight into the realm of real science. To mark Star Trek's 60th anniversary, the Science Museum will launch several months of events with a late-evening opening of the museum for adults next month. The museum late takes place on Thursday 26th March, and will feature a range of Star Trek themed events throughout the evening.

In 1977, Star Trek was gearing up for a comeback. After being canceled in 1969 and enjoying a brief return as an animated series in 1973, the beloved sci-fi series was finally coming back to live action. History will tell you this resulted in the 1979 film Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but before that, there were very serious plans for a sequel TV series, generally referred to as Star Trek: Phase II.

It's hard to make peace with the end of a new Star Trek show, especially after years without any Star Trek on the small screen at all - and especially when it comes to a great show like Lower Decks. The Trek franchise is always searching for a new corner of the final frontier to explore, but the animated comedy felt like the freshest addition to the world in decades.
