Star Trek

I believe I may have mentioned I was a geek in high school.  Class A, highest order geek.  (Of course, this is no longer the case...)

So when the show Star Trek first came on, we geeks, trying not to wet our pants, got together every week for "the viewing."

In its day, Star Trek had more visual effects than any TV show before it.  Why, there must have been at least 10 or so each episode.  Regrettably, we now know those automatic doors were operated by guys right behind them, but that whoosh sound thrilled. At the time, this was watching the future come alive.  

Space, the final frontier.
