Topic: Trek


  
  Star Trek - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There have been five live-action Star Trek series and an animated series, altogether comprising (as of May 2005) a total of 726 individual aired episodes (not including the original unaired pilot) and thirty seasons’ worth of television.
Star Trek: Phase II was set to air in 1978 as the flagship series of a proposed Paramount television network, and 12 episode scripts were written before production was due to begin.
In an ironic twist to the fan-based efforts to bring back Trek in the 1960s and 1970s, there are groups of fans who feel that the concept has run its course and who are actively seeking the end of Star Trek.

 Vintage Trek Bikes- Information on Steel Road Bicycles made by the Trek Bicycle Corporation, bike
It usually is easy to identify a steel bike frame as a Trek, even if it has been repainted, as the vast majority of them have "TREK" conveniently stamped or cast into one or more places on the frame.
There is a timeline for steel Trek road bikes that often can be used to identify or date a frame.
Vintage Treks with upgraded components are more valuable as riders, but this can decrease the value as a collector's item.

 Salon Arts & Entertainment | The trouble with "Trek"
Nimoy is, to say the least, amused by the notion that "Star Trek" is on its death bed.
And last year's "Star Trek" film, "Insurrection" (the series' ninth feature), tanked at the box office, raking in a disappointing $73 million -- just $6 million more than it cost to make the movie.
By comparison, "Star Trek: First Contact" (1996) grossed $95 million in the United States, and another $58 million overseas, after the movie's $45 million cost.

What should have been the end of Trek's ride proved only the beginning, however, as the relative few who had tuned in while the series was still on television bonded over their loss.

 Andy's Great Wall Star Trek
The purpose of my Trek was to raise funds for The National Star Centre College of Further Education (Reg Charity no. 220239) [website].
Seriously, the trek was the best thing I ever did, and I can't really think of more encouraging words than that.
It's been a rollercoaster of a year, to be honest, and while the trek wasn't the cause or even the start of that rollercoaster, it was certainly a big part.

Activision filed suit Monday against Trek's federation bosses at Viacom, accusing the media giant of running the Enterprise into the ground and zapping fan interest in its videogame tie-ins.
The most recent was 2002's Star Trek: Nemesis, the fourth to star the cast from Star Trek: The Next Generation and the first to fail to surpass the $50 million mark at the U.S. box office.
If Activision sees Trek as Scotty sees the Enterprise, as a ship one bolt away from disaster, then Viacom sees Trek as Captain Kirk sees himself, as a leader among men and aliens.

 July 24, 1998, Hour 2: The Star Trek Phenomenon
Of course, the writers who defined the Trek universe felt free to bend many of those laws - or at least, to push their creations around those laws by using technology and inventions that science knows nothing of today.
Since then, there have been nine Star Trek movies, a cartoon, and three other series based on the Star Trek universe, yet scientists are still grappling with some of the basic questions that make the Federation's voyages possible.
Physicists and astronomers are trying to figure out if warp drive is theoretically possible, whether or not wormholes through space-time exist (and, if so, whether matter can travel through them), and how to create the amazing amounts of energy that would be needed to power a voyage to other worlds.
