| These are the continuing voyage of the Starship Enterprise... |
The colourful and innovative sixties TV phenomenon, often imitated never bettered, would, despite its less than acclaimed launch in September 1966, finally help to make science fiction storytelling a credible reality for weekly small-screen audiences-sophisticated, smart, thrilling, funny, sexy and intelligent, with a terrific series cast, the original cew of the Federation starship USS Enterprise continues to live long and prosper, travelling to warp speed heights of action and adventure, as STAR TREK, created by Gene Roddenberry, gains critical mass near its Fiftieth Anniversary.
This wonderful mid-seventies art by popular sci-fi artist Ken Barr is a wonderful encapsulation of all the classic TREK elements: the crew, the Enterprise, the weaponry and technology of a bright, peaceful utopian 22nd Century tomorrow we should all aspire to reach, the strange new worlds and civilisations waiting to be contacted and explored, and the many classic monsters- friends and foes- that have ingrained themselves on our imaginations and pop culture over the years.
Recently winning its deserved accolade by the US TV GUIDE magazine as Favourite Classic Show, Kirk and company have been our guides, our protectors and our friends. And their adventures continue in the UK- with the 79 digitally re-mastered, high quality episodes airing weekday evenings courtesy of the HORROR and PARAMOUNT CBS DRAMA channels.
