Happy 40th Star Trek

Star Trek's 40th Anniversary is begins today as it marks the first broadcast of the show in network television back in 1966 with the premiere of "The Man Trap." The celebration will be far and wide I am sure with various conventions. On the television end, you have the plans to spruce up the special effects and matte painting used in the original series with CGI effects. Ain't It Cool News has posted a Q&A with the project leaders to help provide more information about the plans. For my part, I celebrated the beginning of Star Trek, by watching the final appearance of the original cast in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. So go off and celebrate your inner Star Trek geek.
