Forty-five years? My God, I've been around longer than Star Trek!
That poster is just pure geek Heaven.
And it defined science fiction. Almost everything since then has been influenced by Star Trek.
Has it really been 45 years? Wow. The chart is fabulous. Star Trek, to me, is the quintessential space opera.

Hard to believe. Yes, it's still the greatest space opera to ever be on television. No disrespect to Firefly of course.
Alex, Star Trek really did brave new frontiers on and off camera.
