Star Trek is a cult phenomenon that has been around for decades and doesn’t show any signs of slowing. The show started in 1966 with Star Trek: The Original Series famously starring William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk and Leonard Nimoy as Spock. Since then, Star Trek has spawned a number of spin-off shows and movies, including the recent reboot by J.J. Abrams.
Some people are unabashed fans, attending conferences and affectionately calling themselves Trekkies. Others own memorabilia and can quote lines off the cuff. And for many, the series is near and dear to their heart.
