The Final Frontier

S omewhere in the recent past came a show which brought the future, T hough it was a show that would use the future to show us the past. A nd each week when the new episode was on the tube... R ecounting now, I remember how I wished each would last. T he writing was some of the best fiction ever put on TV. R oddenberry chose a cast that would memorialize his dream. E ach week they took us to a time in another place for an hour, K irk, Spock, Sulu, Scotty, Bones, Uhura, and Chechov were on the screen. Even today I will sometimes "binge" watch those old shows, Remembering how they influenced my every look up at a star. The show created many more series and a number of movies too... It's the one show that in our generation will never have a par. (The extra quatrain was written only to fulfill the 10 line minimum required.)
