Star Trek for Non-Trekkers, an Introduction (…not everyone can be a Star Trek Geek, don’t feel bad…!)

Introduction to Star Trek Created by Gene Roddenberry Agnostic (or Secular) Humanist Five Star Trek series to date - Star Trek (Classic, or TOS), Star Trek: The Next Generation (TNG), Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (DS9), Star Trek: Voyager (VOY), Star Trek: Enterprise (ENT) Ten Star Trek films to date (Star Trek XI forthcoming!)

Classic Star Trek 1966-1969 Originally cancelled after 2 seasons, returned for 3rd season due to letter writing campaign by fans “Earth-Shattering” in that it challenged gender norms, racism, sexism, nationalism, etc. Presented a vision of the future without war, poverty, crime, most diseases, prejudice, etc… Religion vs Individualism

Star Trek: The Next Generation 1987-1994 Gene Roddenberry had complete creative control in early seasons - very much a vehicle for his philosophy Religion vs Science and Reason

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine 1993-2000 Roddenberry no longer at the helm 1st Star Trek series not set on spaceship (on space station instead) Religion dominant theme - mixed messages - personal faith good, clergy bad (mostly), Star Fleet = secular

Star Trek: Voyager 1995-2002 Several Star Trek firsts - first female captain, first ever human being shown to be religious - 2nd in command, Commander Chakotay Native American Spirituality = good

2001-2005 A “Prequel” series, set before the time period of Classic Trek Retro feel to technology, etc. First Star Trek series to be cancelled since original series Religion = terrorism? Religious Institutions = corrupt? “Back to the Bible” mentality? Star Trek Enterprise
