"... yet it should be noted, in the midst of our sorrow, this death takes place in the shadow of new life, the sunrise of a new world; a world that our beloved comrade gave his life to protect and nourish. He did not feel this sacrifice a vain or empty one, and we will not debate his profound wisdom at these proceedings. Of my friend, I can only say this: Of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most ... human."
- James T Kirk

What's shocking to me was that the show only lasted 3 seasons, and yet became a cult classic. So many of the shows reflected social commentary of the 60's. I love science fiction. My favorite episode and Star Trek movie was the Wrath of Khan with Ricardo Montalban as the bad guy.
My favorite science fiction movie is Aliens with the ass kicking marines and the baddest of all Sigourney Weaver.
