Allow me to call "bullshit" on the first kiss. The Kirk/Uhura kiss was the first ROMANTIC interracial kiss on U.S. TV.

Actually, Trek reboot totally changed Kirk's academic time, making him the "horndog" as described in the video. In "Where No Man Has Gone Before", his best friend, Gary, remembers "Academy Kirk" as "A stack of books with legs", implying he was the total opposite, and a serious academic student who Gary had to trick into having fun, as said in his line, "If I hadn't aimed that little blonde lab technician at you...." So it seems the only way to get Kirk to loosen up in the Academy was to trick him into having fun. A far cry from the cadet Kirk we met in 2009's Trek.

It's a peck on the cheek, a peck on the cheek or forehead (e.g. in the movie "Big") has no sexual implications (perhaps just the opposite) and was, therefore, nowhere near as groundbreaking as a lip kiss. That's why this guy had to rummage through a pile of tv dreck to find Sammy's and everyone knows about the Shatner-Nichols scene. A peck on the cheek is unequivocally platonic. You'd have to be a eunuch to equate a peck on the cheek with a kiss on the lips.

"Beam Me Up, Scotty", comes from a bumper sticker that was available after the show aired with a myriad of other Star Trek swag that was marketed, particularly at conventions.

One of the most memorable moments in TOS was Spock fighting with him self repeating the phrase, "I am in control of my emotions!" So how would any one come to the conclusion that Vulcans had no emotions?

In fact the whole reason Vulcans choose logic over emotion is because of how strongly they FEEL their emotions.

I beg to differ. There were a couple episodes where there was a hint Data could feel pity and anger, although it is shown like it is not. The chapter where he created his daughter Lal is an example for two reasons: The first is that you can not give what you don't have and he gave her emotions which in the end were her doom. Another was the scene when he announced Lal's death. The camera shot in the end focus on his face suggesting something was going on and challenging the audience to find it. The other instance was on the chapter he was abducted to become part of a collection. When Fajo kills the girl, he logically reasons he must kill Fajo and even discharges his weapon although he seems "surprised" when he is asked about it. Then, when Fajo is in the holding cell, Data closes his interaction with an irony designed to annoy Fajo regarding the lack of emotion but, was there a lack? Again, the camera focuses on Data's expression as hinting the audience he is experiencing something, although it is buried inside his android's face. Brilliant, cheers!

Fun fact: Nimoy was actually a human

Another false fact that YOU think is true - Star Wars saved Star Trek TMP. WRONG! Conventional wisdom in the 1970's was that there could only be one SF blockbuster. Star Wars was so big that Paramount was convinced NOT to proceed with the movie.

@lukestrawwalker

The studios saw the success of Star Wars in 1977 and wanted, to use a Trek phrase, "a piece of the action". Therefore they greenlighted a lot of sci-fi scripts (like Close Encounters and later on ET- the Extraterrestrial) and the "Trek Phase II" series for TV. It was soon apparent that they could probably make more money turning "Phase II" into a movie, so that's what they did... (early in the pre-production of "Phase II"-- they even used some of the original actors cast for Phase II, most notably David Gautreaux (who was cast to play a Vulcan in Phase II and ended up as the commander of the doomed "Epsilon 9" space station Vger absorbs early in the film). Once it was clear that sci-fi movies could sell, even with rather weak "made for TV scripts" (like Star Trek: The Motion Picture, which was basically just a 2.5 hour version of Nomad in "the Changeling" episode of original Trek) the studios did a whole plethora of sci-fi movies and TV shows... Universal had both Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers in the 25th Century out in 1979, the same time frame that "The Motion Picture" hit theaters. While the shows were fairly successful (at least early on) the production costs for a weekly TV series so heavily dependent on special effects was still very high, and soon a lot of the footage was being reused over and over again as a cost-cutting move. The writing didn't improve over time, either, and so neither show lasted more than a couple seasons. Later! OL J R :)

The CHARACTER of Seven of Nine may have been viable, but the casting of Jeri Ryan and the catsuit look she was given (with enlarged breasts, btw. That is not her natural cup size) was absolutely for no other purpose than to boost ratings with T&A. Hell, they basically openly stated this when promoting Voyager's fourth season. The character would have been just as important and memorable if it were instead an adolescent male, like Hugh or Icheb. It would have only further emphasized the maternal relationship with Janeway,... but wouldn't have appealed as much to the male demographic they were desperately reaching for when Voyager's ratings began to slump. Make no mistake, they created the character to find some way of bringing blatant sex appeal into the show. And Kate Mulgrew was right about one thing,... it did totally become the Seven of Nine show in its second half, removing Janeway as the primary focus.

About Spock and emotion: Any real Star Trek fan knows that he had emotions. For example, in the episode "The Savage Curtain he meets "Surak" who is really an alien but he displays emotion and admits to it.

Speaking of Picard violating the Prime Directive, the entirety of Star Trek: Insurrection is a violation of the Prime Directive.

Screw Worf, I want Geordi as my security chief. ;)

The Federation does not use money. However outside civilizations do and the Federation uses money to deal with them. Which when you think about it seems unrealistic. The Federation replicators are capable of creating any form of currency or commodities in endless amounts. It must be the philosophy of the Prime Directive that keeps them from making sure not to crash every economy that they encounter.

Andrew Johnson I think the federation used energy credits. no proof of that, though, just that their money is called "credits". also, some things can't be replicated, or are more expensive to replicate, like lifeforms and latinum. but yes, on DS9 they used Ferengi, Bajoran, or occasionally Cardassian currency because that was what the trader wanted.

7:58 -- Troi's character concept may have evolved from series pre-production, but the explanation of her abilities given to viewers during "Encounter At Farpoint" was that all pure-strain Betazoids are fully, effortlessly telepathic, but Troi, being only half-Betazoid (her father was human, and her mother a Betazoid ambassador), was merely empathic. She could only develop actual telepathy with someone with whom she had been intimate. Her Imzadi turned out to be, of course, none other than William T. "a-girl-in-every-port" Riker. (Wow, a social-outcast-from-her-own-people officer with limited telepathic abilities who was a half-breed between an ambassador and a human partner, and a handsome young human officer with a tendency to sleep around while off-duty. I wonder what TOS characters they were meant to represent?)

Spock is emotionless is one i never bought. When he thought he killed Kirk in the original series, he showed alot of it. Who didn't enjoy the rare smile on Spock's face when he realized later Kirk was alive??

David Jensen- Sammy didn't die of old age. He died of throat cancer at age 64. And Frank Sinatra respected Sammy enough to not have made a big deal about a real kiss between him and his daughter.

Kirk did say “Beam us up, Scotty” in the animated series episode “The Infinite Vulcan,” written by Walter Koenig.

This is a pretty good primer for casual fans, I enjoyed it a lot! Thank you for dispensing with the whole "womanizing Kirk" thing, the trope has always annoyed me. What I liked about Kirk was that he and his ex-girlfriends always respected one another, and remained friends over the years (the insane Janice Lester excepted, but that was her bad, not his.) My take on Kirk vs Picard: Kirk started out a "a stack of books on legs" (description by old friend Gary Mitchell in the first pilot) but eventually became something of a cowboy and an extrovert. Picard started out a trouble-making cowboy until he lost his heart in a bar fight, and changed to become a quieter, more thoughtful and introspective captain. Also, when asked "Kirk or Picard", I always pick "Sisko" (he's the best!)

OMG Spock doesn't have emotions because he's human. Vulcans have MUCH more violent emotions than humans! That's WHY they developed the disciplines of logic!

In The Menagerie, Spock smiles twice. Once on the bridge as he is ridiculing “human emotions” and again on the planets surface when he touches a plant that sings.

So this is why I think your comment is accurate, and in truth we are getting there -- especially with this 'bit-coin' that people are starting to push. There are some businesses that almost go into a panic if you pull paper money out of your pocket and they ask if you can use a credit card instead.

Kirk kissing Uhura in "Plato's Stepchildren" was not even the first interracial kiss on STAR TREK. Kirk kissed Marlena Moreau (Barb Luna) in "Mirror Mirror" almost a year earlier.

Vulcans don't bury their emotions - they have mastered their emotions.

He said beam me aboard Mr. Scott, I think was the correct phrase or maybe it was Mr. Scott beam me aboard but been awhile since I heard it so can't be sure if those are the exact words. He only used Scotty for Mr. Scott or Bones for Dr. McCoy during casual conversation not when actually on a mission.

Ironically, Troi looked a hell of a lot better in uniform than those hideous cat suits.

Yep, it's true. Capt. Kirk never said; 'Beam me up Scotty.' But in the episode 'The Gamesters at Triskelion' he said it! ...well almost; 'Scotty beam us up.'

Another fact, Counselor Troi never performed a level 2 diagnostic on 7 of 9. Apparently many of us just dreamed it.

Why doesn’t anybody ever get the money thing right?? There’s no money exchanged within the federation, you are simply given what you need in a perfect socialist utopia. Corporations, capitalism & the greed that drove them are no longer part of humanity. Outside of the Federation, there are plenty of economic systems at play in the galaxy, so the Federation acquires credit within them through trade deals to facilitate their various external initiatives & as one of them, Starfleet officers can be granted access to external credit accounts in times of need.
