Beam Me Up Scotty!

I was 11 years old when I memorized the opening spiel of the Star Trek series. And I felt a tinge of sadness every time I see Gene Roddenberry’s name. It meant it was the end of the episode.

I forgot this chapter of my life until I watched Big Bang Theory and the latest installment of the Star Trek franchise. Then I was reminded of my own fascination to this cult series.

If only I can go back to the time where my concerns were as relevant as what shows to watch and what cassette tape to buy…… To a place where every man has gone before but must depart from…. to venture into the unknown….

Space, the final frontier
These are the voyages of the Starship, Enterprise
Its continuing (?) mission
To explore strange new worlds
To seek out new lives and new civilizations
To boldly go where no man has gone before
