The Phenomenon of Star Trek
Science fiction has always been very popular, especially with the youth. With Star Trek, things are certainly no different, only there are (excuse the pun) several generations of viewers now who have enjoyed the show’s various incarnations. The appeal of Star Trek is universal, it cuts across all cultures and people.
The Original Star Trek
The original TV series, simply called Star Trek, featured William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as the pointy-eared alien, the Vulcan scientist Mr. Spock.
Although the series lasted only three years, as it was repeated endlessly in broadcasts across America and around the world in what is called syndication, it gained a tremendous mainstream following, building on top of its already establish cult of loyalists.
The Appeal of Star Trek
Psychologists and certainly marketing experts have studied the phenomenon of Star Trek. Their conclusions have been quite revealing.
Other than being inventive, futuristic and just “plain cool," experts are of the opinion (and fans would certainly agree) that the single greatest appeal of Star Trek its is universality, characters and its completeness.

The original "working name" or rough draft name for Star Trek was Wagon Train to the Stars. In the newer series Star Trek: The Next Generation, two models of the Starship Enterprise were used for filming. One is roughly 1.3 meters long and the other is about 2.5 meters in size. The transporter effect is made by putting glitter in water and shinning a light through it, then matting this effect over film of the actors. |
