I didnt know this, but Bill in Portland, Maine at dKos clues us in (as he does so often and so well) that today is the fortieth anniversary of the premiere of Star Trek (the original series, you young whippersnappers!)
I can remember waiting for it to show up, as a 12yo scifi fan, and just being in love with the series (no matter how cheesy and corny it sometimes seems in retrospect, it was LIGHTYEARS AHEAD (pun intended) of anything else on TV back in the olden days), and actually crying when I heard it had been cancelled. So track down an episode tonight, fry up some tribbles for light snacking, and celebrate with Capt. James Tiberius Kirk. If that doesn't work, track down the Comedy Central roast of Shatner..... the comedians are mostly worthless on it (WTF is Andy Dick doing there?), but the clips of the Shat from his heyday are PRICELESS!!!!
