Commentary: Trek Stars: The Work Of Star Trek Creators Outside Of Star Trek

Roddenberry Part 1: Star Trek. This week, Max and Mike begin a series which looks at the career of Gene Roddenberry as a television creator. Part 1 examines Roddenberry’s work in Star Trek. We discuss the impact that The Original Series had on the medium, the mystery of why The Animated Series didn’t work at all, what The Motion Picture tells us about how Phase II would’ve been, and how Roddenberry’s take on The Next Generation has influenced the franchise since his death. So grab a cup of tea, Earl Grey, hot, and settle in for half an hour of semi-entertaining musings.

The World Beyond Star Trek. Welcome to the very first episode of Commentary: Trek Stars! Join Mike and Max of Commentary Track Stars (get it?) as they take a look at the work of Star Trek creators outside of Trek. In this episode, we tell you who we are and what you can expect from the show. Enjoy!
