I wish I went along see Boyd somewhere
not too much deck tennis.
No frantic dancing.
No responsibility
look around that bridge.
I see the men are waiting for me to make the next move to bones
What if I'm wrong?
Who's in charge you?
Me, sir?
I'm just gonna take you.
I don't know, sir.
You know what's going on here? Yes, sir.
No, I don't think you do. Let me explain it to you.
If we launch and we're wrong, what's left of Russia is going to launch at us.
There will be a nuclear holocaust beyond imagination.
So it's all about knowing Mr. Basler.
We have to know whether or not our order the launch has been recalled enough.
The only way we're going to know is if you fix that radio you understand.
You ever watched Star Trek?
Star Trek, you know Star Trek and USS Enterprise alright,
you remember when the Klingons were going to blow up the enterprise
and Captain Kirk calls down Scotty Scotty
I gotta have more power needs more and more warp speed speed.
Exactly. Well, I'm Captain Kirk. You're Scotty
I need more power. I'm telling you if you do not get this radio up a billion people are gonna die.
Now it's all up to you. I know that's a shaky deal, but you got it.
Can you handle it?
Scotty CAFTA
live from Hollywood.
A 30th anniversary salute to Star Trek.
Tonight from Alpha Centauri four, all the way to Paramount Studios.
Join Ted Danson and some of Star Trek's biggest fans
as they pay tribute to the largest gathering of Star Trek cast members of all time.
With tributes from LeVar Burton.
Joan Collins, Kenny G. Harry Gilpin,
David Hyde Pierce, John Larroquette.
Jane Leeves John Mahoney, Kate Mulgrew Leonard Nimoy,
William Shatner, Patrick Stewart
and Ben Stiller.
Ladies and gentlemen
Ted Danson.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen,
good evening Vulcans and Romulans.
Good evening. Klingons. But Jordan, the Jordan but Jordans Kardashians,
beta Zoids, and silicone based life forms.
Who? It doesn't matter if you're someone who's only seen Star Trek a couple of times,
or if you're one of those who have an accurate homemade Starfleet uniform hanging in the back of your closet.
You do know who Captain Kirk is.
You know who Mr. Spock is?
And most likely there have been times when you find yourself in a jam
and wish you could reach for that little communicator
and say Beam me up Scotty.
Keep your eye on me. We're live Scotty.
Well, here we are tonight, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Trek
and to see how the power of a single idea can become so important
to so many millions around the world.
We'll be taking a look back two great moments from Star Trek.
We'll also find out about Gene Roddenberry
a man who proved that treating the audience like an intelligent species can really pay off.
He used to say we we talked about things
you couldn't talk about sex, religion,
labor, hunger, world peace, all that stuff.
And the marvelous thing was that it went right over the network's heads.
But the 14 and 16 year olds in the audience knew exactly what we were talking about.
I have a very personal connection with this evening.
Actually, I had to first my wife ex husband killed Captain Kirk
but the main connection has to do with the charities the benefit from this evening.
The permanent charities the entertainment industries,
communities and schools, the Robert F Kennedy Memorial Center for Human Rights
and an organization particularly close to my heart the American oceans campaign
each of these organizations works every day to make sure
that our society makes it to Star Trek 24th century ensuring
that we all live long and prosper
capital very close to retirement I'm not planning on it.
Let me tell you something don't don't let them promote you
don't let them transfer you don't let them do anything takes you off the bridge of that ship
because while you're there you can make a difference
come back with
a restock sorry make a difference again
who am I have to argue with the captain of the enterprise
what's the name of that planet Veridian three
I take it the odds are against us and the situation is grim
you could say that
you know Spock were here he'd say
that I was in a rational illogical human beings
are taking on a mission like that
during the run
our code on top he knows place them on ready status
by Starfleet officers
weird
Don't tell me
you're from outer space
from Iowa I only work in hospitals
everybody remember where we parked
like phases and locking phases
ratio
Baldwin and gates
once again we've saved civilization as we know
the good news is not going to prosecute.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Ben Stiller.
They asked me to come out here and tell you a little bit about the history of Star Trek.
The Juggernaut that launched a 30 year old
I'm sorry, I I feel a little stupid here.
I they didn't they didn't ask me to do anything.
I asked them actually, I begged them to let me be here
because I'm just I'm a huge, huge Star Trek fan.
I mean, I just I can't believe I'm even sitting here in the same room with Mr. solos.
Forgive me, Captain Sula. I mean, I as a kid,
I just I grew up alone, totally alone.
And I didn't have any friends.
But there was always Star Trek and kids at school used to make fun of me.
Ooh, look at the trucker wearing his silly pointed ears.
It's tricky, okay. But then, you know,
I didn't let it bother me because I knew every night
and I'd go home there'll be a certain vest.
still have the starship cruiser class NCC 1700 series
that'd be waiting for me waiting to dock right up here.
Take me where no man has gone before.
Star Trek really was my best friend and
I took the time learn everything about it.
You know I studied the ins and outs of the enterprise
I got the Starfleet manual the concordance
you know a lot of people don't have any idea what a Jefferies tube is.
I made it my business to understand.
And in Star Trek continued to grow.
You know, I grew up to the new shows happen
I really wasn't into the new shows the whole
I mean, I mean deep space 12 And you know, my generation wonderful, incredible stuff,
but I'm just I'm a purist.
The original 79 episodes, the original aliens, the Gorn.
The move got to the pig face.
Tellarite Okay, how about how about the librarian Mr. Eight ties
Mr. Eight ties to the librarian A to Z.
I got it.
Yeah.
Think I think my favorites though,
were the rogue band of space hippies a beam aboard the Enterprise
and episode 75 Way to Eden. All right.
Does everybody remember Adam with the curly blonde hair
and the thigh high boots playing that funny little stringed instruments serenading Captain Kirk
bombana Five number six man
put my money in jail
and the judge bang the gavel and say no bail
gonna lick his hand and wag my tail
Herbert Herbert Herbert
we reach this is just bones perk Scotty,
I know you have real names that escaped me at this moment.
I can't believe and I mean, you guys were my extended family.
You taught me the facts of life.
You know, I can't tell you how many times I go through a time portal,
meet a girl fall in love with her come back.
She's been dead. 100 years you guys taught me how to deal with that.
You know, I mean, God, I learned how to fight watching captain.
Oh, at mu. And now, as an adult,
I realized that, you know,
Star Trek wasn't conjectured and fantasy,
but was based and grounded in the reality of simple truths.
And it saddens me that to this day, you know,
we can all follow its edicts of peace and care for our fellow man.
And I know by the way, I'm not supposed to get political here.
Okay. But you know, the reason this country still has not switched to dilithium crystals
as a form of pure cleaner,
and yes, cheaper energy is beyond me
and Scotty can back me up on this the big three oil companies,
no one's going down and they refuse to acknowledge it.
That's all I'm gonna say about that.
All my life people have made fun of me,
because I was a Star Trek nerd.
Well, here I am. You know, they look at me and they say,
what is it going to get you in your life? Right?
I share the stage with the entire cast of Star Trek
and Kenny G.
Who's the nerd
All right.
It's really been a pleasure to be here and I just like to leave you
with this brief history of Star Trek
Thank you.
They beamed in from nowhere,
but we knew them right away.
The Derring do Captain his loyal sidekick.
I cure the crusty warm hearted doctor.
You're out in your Vulcan mind. And
Mr. FixIt. Prior analysis, what we didn't know
and couldn't resist was where they were going to take us each week.
In 1964, Lucy and Desi studio was looking for new shows to peddle to the network's
when in walked a freelance TV writer with a quirky offbeat idea.
Gene Roddenberry pitched it as wagon train to the stars.
Set in the 23rd century.
The pilot featured a Captain Christopher Pike
and an overly Angular alien.
You're not speaking and I can hear you.
You will note the confusion as it reads our thought transmissions.
All right, then tell everything
to cerebral said the network.
Give us more action.
This time, Captain James Tiberius Kirk commanded
the first ever multi planetary multiracial crew to hit the galaxy.
And for the first first heard the future looked really groovy.
In September 1966, the voyage began with hope for the future.
I think that one day they're going to take all the money
that they spend now on one deaf make
them spend it online.
It was a cartoon epic.
With all the thrill of an old time Saturday morning cereal.
Where are you?
I am the guardian of forever.
Never Nevermind the unusual costumes,
or the special effects on a shoestring budget.
It was all the more endearing for trying to
you know, have seven minutes left.
We went willingly wherever they wanted to take us.
And where they took us was to the really big stuff.
HG Wells kind of stuff.
with questions about time,
morality, mortality and
our very existence
here and unusual opportunity to appraise the human mind
or to examine in North terms
the roles of good and evil in a man
nothing but trouble from the Nielsen's
bad time slots network disinterest Romulan plots,
whatever show just couldn't climb out of the ratings basement.
Nearly a million pieces of pleading fan mail got the show a one year reprieve
but the network execs finally shut it down.
Ladies and gentlemen due to the low Nielsen ratings
we at NBC have decided to unfortunately cancel Star Trek
that patriots has done fire.
Now thanks traveling term I can understand it.
Well, I look forward to do me a favor and
return these things to the property department okay.
But they're turned out to be an alternate,
unexplored universe called syndication.
In it the original 79 episodes, live long and prosper.
Star Trek snowballed from a phenomenon into popular myth
is a man from outer space, and
we're taking him to his face you can
just beam up this is reality.
Captain Klingons off the starboard bow again with the Klingons
Mr. Scott give me full power
is no good captain.
I cannot reach the control panel.
The myth was never far out of reach.
It even became reality.
In 1976, NASA paid its respects to Star Trek,
naming its prototype Space Shuttle the enterprise
10 years after the original series was canceled.
Star Trek The Motion Picture made its debut.
Roddenberry's idea would be the cornerstone of seven more motion pictures
and four television series.
In the Star Trek universe, there will always be another place to explore another part of ourselves
to discover of course
hitting Captain
second, start to the right and
straight on to the morning.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Joan Collins.
In 1967, when my two children finally entered school,
I decided I wanted to go back to acting.
And soon afterwards my agent Tom Coleman called
to say I'd been offered a great part in a Star Trek episode.
Star what I said it's a huge new cultures at Tom.
Obviously you haven't been reading the trades.
Oh no, I've been too busy reading mother and child care by Dr. Spock.
The get Dr. Spock he said Stop thinking Mr. Spock.
Yes, I said of course Mr. Spock, the one with the ears of children love that show.
Right Then you better do it.
You'll probably be queen of the universe
possess intergalactic powers were tight, revealing costumes.
Trust me. I'm your agent.
A week later, I was cast as Edith Keeler,
a saintly earthling who works as a social worker in a 1930s mission
for down and out bums in New York's Bowery.
And she happens to get hit by a truck.
Thanks, Tom. I never fired a phaser I never got to do this.
I can't do that anyway.
And the closest I've ever been to the bridge is this set.
Now the episode I made the City on the Edge of Forever
turned out to be one of the most popular Star Trek episodes ever,
and it's still shown somewhere in the world every single week.
In this episode, Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock returned to 1930s New York.
And whilst in the Big Apple, the captain falls in love with Edith Keeler.
She believes that Hitler is a good guy,
and she's involved in a pacifist movement that would delay World War Two.
So far, so good.
Until Spock does a little research on his computer time machine
and finds out that parade is about to get hit by that truck.
lovestruck, Captain Kirk cannot intervene,
but to do so would change the course of history.
So he just watches helplessly as Edith dies.
I have a subject yet but not without its share of romance.
Because the onscreen passion between Kirk and Edith positively sizzled.
I even heard that some of the crew were taking bets
that I would succumb to the intergalactic charms of Captain Kirk.
Sorry, but I didn't. And to this day, I still don't know
if he did slipped or was pushed in front of that truck.
I have very fond memories of Star Trek,
and I'm proud to have been a part of it.
And in fact, when people say,
Aren't you Alexis Carrington, that bitch from Dynasty?
I smile sweetly and respond. No, I'm Edith Keeler,
Depression era social worker from Star Trek.
I've been a big fan ever since that introduction almost 30 years ago,
and like the rest of you, I like a good story.
But most of all, I love the wondrous gifts that Star Trek offers,
as it takes us to worlds that we never imagined on our own
if you can't take a little bloody nose,
maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed.
It's not safe out here. It's wonderous.
With treasures to satiate desires, both subtle and gross.
But it's not for the teammate
answering all stop captain.
According to the instrument, sir.
Our speed never exceeded more 1.5
I'll stop sir. Ask
that where's this
it's probably someone's idea of shaking hands maybe.
I am commander pinjaman Sisko of the United Federation of Planets
sparkling worse than usual
unusual and unknown form of energy
of great power and intelligence.
Evidently, I'm aware that it's transmissions are disruptive.
I find it illogical but his intention should be hostile.
You think this is his way of saying hi there
to the people of the earth.
There are other forms of intelligence on Earth Dr.
human arrogance will assume the message must be meant for man.
I've completed my analysis of the anomaly.
It appears to be a multi phasic temporal convergence
in the space time continuum in English data.
It is In essence, and eruption of anti time,
anti time, a relatively new concept in temporal mechanics,
the relationship between anti time and normal time is analogous
to the relationship between antimatter and normal matter.
So, if time and anti time were to collide,
they would annihilate one another,
the duplicate atoms could knock you by the same point in space time
for very long before mutual annihilation,
we both be destroyed.
Captain, I think you should return to your ship
and run a metallurgical analysis.
Find out the precise phase modulation of your hole out of the same year,
maybe we can find a way to realign the phase displacement,
you're going to self destruct your ship.
But makes you say that because
that's what I would do if you're aboard you were intact.
And my voyage of a crippled
in this galaxy, is a mathematical probability of 3 million Earth type planets.
And an all of the universe 3 million million galaxies like this.
And in all of that,
and perhaps more,
only one of each of us.
We wanted to see if you had the ability
to expand your mind and your horizons.
And for one brief moment you did
when I realized the paradox Exactly.
For that one fraction of a second,
you were open to options you had never considered.
That is the exploration that awaits you,
mapping stars and studying nebula
but charting the unknown possibilities of existence.
Are you familiar with physical forms of pleasure?
If you are referring to sexuality.
I am fully functional. programmed in multiple techniques.
How long has it been since you've used
eight years?
Seven months 16 days four minutes 22.
There was a lot of competition here on the Paramount lot
when audition started two years ago for Star Trek Voyager, the fourth incarnation of Star Trek on television,
and many actors were considered for the various roles
and to show you how that process works.
We've asked a group of actors to recreate their audition for you
out of this first group.
I'm sad to say only one actor was actually cast in Voyager.
The others had to scramble and kind of do the best they could in the business.
Captain's Log stardate 4725 9.3
Captain Kathryn Janeway commanding the USS Voyager.
She is an untested ship with an untested crew.
But I believe over time we will grow to work as an efficient
and cooperative team.
Are we gonna fly this thing? Are you just gonna yak yak
yeah
we're getting an order from Starfleet requesting we meet the enterprise at Starbase 15
Hell said of course for 119 41 Mark eight
well sure if you want to go the long way.
Oh, no, we're not taking another one of your shortcuts.
Last one. We followed your advice.
We went through a tear in the time space continuum
and wound up in ancient Pompeii.
Well, we escaped yes in my brand new Romulan loafers
was seems to be on recognition.
Haven people I need your focus. Captain.
We have a known identified ship approaching
bloody hell she's really moving.
Commander hailed the vessel commander
in a second really is a cue is an older Barian commander
aren't all barbarians the ones with four tongues.
Sounds like this old Varian is about to boldly go
were so many men have gone before
I heard that, hey, what do you know?
They're hailing us, but it's not coming through.
There's transmission problems. Well, that's the trouble with these modern starships.
My dad, a simple communication system
didn't have all these fancy flashing lights
with dials, but it worked.
I know, I know. It just launched a tin can at the end the ship
and then pulled back until the string was taught.
But it worked.
I believe I have an explanation and explanation for our communications problem,
Captain. While we were in Port, I had to install a banality filter.
It keeps us from being bothered by any messages
that are overly insipid or is usually
disengage the filter. Oh,
I can't I can't even get my phaser to stop flashing.
12 o'clock.
Excuse me, Captain. Members of my species are a bit telepathic.
That's I can use my powers to communicate with the alien vessel.
Lieutenant. You're not from another planet.
You're from England.
Quiet. I'm getting something.
It's coming through strong now.
They want to attack. No, no, no, no, it's not an attack.
It's it's more of a desire to embrace.
Nope. Hold on.
I believe they want to breed with us.
Wait a minute. This isn't coming from out there.
It's coming from in Robert was fine Muslim.
I'm sure the Captain has another plan she'd like to try.
Why don't you fire up photon torpedo atom?
What if they're a friendly ship? Well,
I won't shoot back. Chatting.
I'm reading an energy source from the alien vessel.
It's a transporter beam with a embodied Red Alert.
Loud noise
Captain I'm not sure I'm reading this instrument panel correctly.
But either we have a malfunction in our left turn signal
or there's an arm cling on on board
the turbo lift
Shall we assume it's the ladder?
Does this belong to you?
Be careful when the dog come near boy. We found him on the Klingon homeworld.
He was digging up azalea bushes
when we've just re landscaped time i bat listed
Carolyn. Well, yes.
But next time it's intergalactic war over
we will destroy every molecule of the Federation.
That seems reasonable.
Now do you see why they shouldn't have cats on starships? Well,
you let her pet shed that big hairy thing with the horns and the three eyes.
It wasn't a pet. It was a date.
Anyway, wouldn't have gotten out if somebody hadn't left the shuttle door bail.
No you do. You're not pinning this on me.
You can't expect me to partner to starship and maintain
computer engage self destruct sequence.
If that isn't acting out, I don't know what I can hide.
Ladies and gentlemen, John to lancy.
The universe of the 21st century is not an entirely friendly place.
I mean, there you are mapping a star system
minding your own business when suddenly zap somebody's firing at you?
Who could it be the Romulans the Kardashians, the Ferringhi.
The Klingons. Well, actually, the Klingons are kind of friendly now.
So it's not the Klingons. But if you're really unlucky,
your star ship might be under attack from the Q.
A very particular sort of Star Trek villain,
distinguished by omnipotent powers, roguish good looks.
And an ego is big as the all outdoors.
Now I'd like to take a moment as that Star Trek villain
to speak a word on behalf of villains wherever you may be.
In spite of all the trouble we cause our friends in the Federation,
we do serve an important purpose.
Without us mankind would simply wander through the galaxy
collecting souvenirs and posing for pictures.
Villains are like the grit in the polishing machine
that turns pebbles into GEMS.
We are the irritant that Make the oyster make the pearl
when evil threatens good unites, and when good unites, mankind prospers.
So don't just think of us as villains, but rather think of us as the ones
who forced mankind to answer the really tough questions.
Watch
you're guilty of what?
being inferior. Seven years ago I said we'd be watching you
and we have been hoping that your ape like race
would demonstrate some growth give some indication
that your minds had room for expansion.
But what have we seen instead?
You worry about commander writers career
listening the counselor Troy's identic psychobabble,
indulging data in his witless exploration of humanity.
We've journeyed to countless new worlds,
we've contacted new species,
we have expanded our understanding of the universe
in your own paltry limited way, you have no idea how far you still have to go.
But instead of using the last seven years to change and to grow,
you have squandered them.
We are what we are and we're doing the best we can.
It is not for you to set the standards
by which we should be judged. Oh, but it is.
And we have time maybe ternal Captain
but our patience is not it's time to put an end to your trek through the stars
make room for other more worthy species.
You're going to deny us travel through space.
you up to speed flotsam.
You had to be denied existence.
Humanity's fate has been sealed,
you will be destroyed.
Q I do not believe that even you are capable of such an act.
i There you go again, always blaming me for everything.
But this time I'm not your enemy.
I'm not the one that causes the annihilation of mankind.
You are me. That's right.
You are doing it right now.
You did it before and you'll do it yet again.
What sort of meaningless double talk is this?
He doesn't understand.
I have only myself to blame, I suppose.
I believed in you. I thought you had potential.
But apparently I was wrong.
May whatever God you believe in
have mercy on your soul
is going stands adjourned.
It is obvious the most simple minded
that loci is of an inferior breed.
The obvious visual evidence commissioner is that he is of the same breed as yourself.
As you blind Commander Spock of
Look at me.
Look at me.
You're black on one side and white on the other.
I am Black on the right side.
I have failed to see the significant difference.
loci is white on the rights
all of his people are white on the right side.
Now tell me Come on that what is data?
I don't understand. What is he a machine?
Is he Are you sure? Yes.
You see he's met two of your three criteria for ascension.
So why don't we meet the third consciousness
and even the smallest degree?
What is he then? I don't know.
Do you?
Do you consider that in the history of many worlds
there have always been disposable creatures.
They do the dirty work.
They do the work that no one else wants to do
because it's too difficult or too hazardous.
And an army of datas all disposable.
You don't have to think about the welfare
you don't think about how they feel
whole generations of disposable people
talking about slavery
I think that's a little harsh.
I don't think that's a little harsh.
I think that's the truth.
That's the truth that we have obscured behind.
comfortable, easy euphemism property.
But that's not the issue at all.
Is it?
You Federation type for all and like, you talk about tolerance and understanding
but don't practice it towards people who remind you of yourselves
because you disapprove of Ferringhi values you scorn us.
Distrust us. insult us
every chance you get cork
I don't have to stand there and defend myself.
Tell me Commander, would you allow your Santa Maria Frankie female?
I never thought about it
exactly my point
I don't want to do anything to hurt you.
I did that before I climbed into a shuttlecraft
and I made you a widow.
I knew you were a pilot when I married you.
I knew the risks
I went into it with my eyes wide open your eyes open
Do you know what the risks are?
I thought
I thought I'd gotten over you
it's been so long and so much has happened now
i know I haven't.
Ladies and gentlemen, Nichelle Nichols.
After the first season of Star Trek, I told you in Roddenberry,
I had decided to leave the show and return to the theater.
Gene asked me to reconsider to think about it.
Well, that same weekend, I went to an NAACP event.
And a man came over to me and said, a fan wanted to meet me while I turn
and I discovered that fan to be Dr. Martin Luther King.
Dr. King told me that Star Trek was one of the few shows
that he and Mrs. King allowed their little children to watch.
He said that, oh, hoorah.
My character was so important because she was in the first fully integrated cast
that portrayed men and women truly as equals.
But when I mentioned that I was going to leave the show,
Dr. King said, You can't do that.
He said your character is the first non stereotypical role on television and is in a position of authority.
People who don't look like us see us for the first time,
as we should be seen as equals,
don't you see, he said, Star Trek has changed the face of television.
Well, I told Gene Roddenberry that I would stay with the show.
It was one of the best decisions I ever made for 10 years later, hoorah.
And I would recruit the very first women
and minority astronauts for NASA
Space Shuttle Program.
Obviously changed that face too.
I will always be indebted to Gene Roddenberry for my role on Star Trek,
and to Dr. Martin Luther King for encouraging me
to stay aboard the starship Enterprise.
Ladies and gentlemen, LeVar Burton.
I am here with a heartfelt tip of the hat from those of us
who work in front of the camera to some of those Those who work behind the camera.
In fact, I have had the great good fortune of working both sides of his camera Street
and in my first episode of Star Trek as a director,
I had a baptism of fire that gave me a real
and true appreciation for those wizards
who create what we refer to as those visual effects.
In the episode, I had several scenes to stage with one actor playing two roles the actor,
my good and talented friend, Mr. Jonathan Frakes.
And as talented as he is, no disrespect intended,
I knew from the start that there was no way we were going to pull this off by ourselves.
So to the wizards, I turned, and I got a crash course
and the magic done by these unsung heroes.
I've just been flabbergasted over the years by the genius
that goes into what we see on the screen and take for granted
when we see these episodes, like the beaming effect.
Everybody knows what it's like to be men and beam out.
But did you know that the effect is actually sparkles glitter
in a bowl of water that stirred, not shaken.
These people take little pieces of model and little pieces of plastic
and they put it together and they come up with a shuttle
that'll fly through a scene.
They'll tell you that this pieces of plastic is from a big razor
and that this is from a model that I stole from my kid.
In fact, one of these wizards Dan curry says that when he walks through a hardware store
and cruises the plumbing section, he doesn't see plumbing supplies at all.
He sees spaceship parts.
So now let's take a look at some of the special effects creations
from these masters and mistresses of illusion.
And to match the magic of pictures with the magic of music.
We have with us tonight, one of the finest musicians of our time.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. kinigi
Ladies and gentlemen, John Larroquette
Good evening, early my career,
I had the luck to be cast in the motion picture Star Trek three.
Search for Spock was my first shot in the film
with an extraordinary cast and guest stars like Christopher Lloyd,
Dame Judith Anderson are directed by Leonard Nimoy.
Sorry, I think it was that pate at the cocktail party
I'm
sure glad this isn't live, that would really be embarrassing.
Undeniably an amazing experience that stuff I told you before.
As a cast member of the Search for Spock,
I couldn't help but notice the amazing attention to detail.
All of the working control panels and the bridges
and the lights and the costumes.
Makeup alone was a four hour ordeal
that started at five o'clock in the morning with prosthetics and wigs.
That did a good job. They did a great job.
That was unrecognizable.
I came to the party dressed like this as a matter of fact.
Okay. Cling on officer, malts.
Like I gave him a first name secretly chocolate
that's me under all of that.
Look at those eyes isn't my eyes. It's definitely my eyes.
I worked with Christopher Lloyd everyday for a month at the premiere.
He had no idea who I was.
Leonard Nimoy had a real ear for detail.
Click on speak in a series of Oh, I see.
That's a joke, isn't it? Series grunts and clicks
click on is sounding something like a really drunken Scotsman.
Although that maybe would be redundant.
Easy enough to learn.
But somewhere between Star Trek two and Star Trek three
some guy wrote down the entire language.
I had to take two semesters of cling on to his tutelage,
teaching cling on to actors.
Now there's a job description. I tell you.
I don't know if my professor is here and I'm a little rusty, but it goes.
No Dark Oak Park.
No, I really do have to go where's the little Klingons room?
Doc Vito dill ma Koosh.
How much for that hat. cush tuck Vish varoom last shot.
the throats of 4000 men may be cut by a Running Man with a knife
because that's the colloquial translation.
This guy by the way, he asked me to tell you he has put out a couple of books.
If you'd like to, you can pick up the clip on tapes are available everywhere.
And you should check them out. There's conversational cling on
for favorite for long rides across country
and power cooling on great for power interviews
before them and breakfasts too.
I played a cling on. But I wanted to play a human much like tonight.
And the funny thing about Star Trek is there are a lot of aliens out there
who want to be human.
Hello, I'm learning.
I'm in Paris today on my way back to Morocco,
where I'm portraying a prophet Samuel, biblical story of David.
And that by way of answers to one of the most often asked question,
How did Star Trek affect your acting career?
The answer is very positive.
I have the great fortune of having steady work offered to me
ever since Star Trek but on the air.
The other question about being identified with an alien is a little bit more complex
and probably more interesting.
I wonder why it is that and I'm sure other people do that.
These characters like Spock and other aliens in Star Trek have attracted so many fans
and so many followers over the years.
I'm I have the feeling that these outsiders these people who are not like us,
these people who are different in a way tell us something about ourselves.
I think that all of us at one time in our lives have experienced being the outsider
feeling like everybody else knows what's going on.
I'm gonna put getting everybody else knows exactly
what clothes to wear exactly what music so listen to,
exactly who to hang out with.
And I'm just not quite getting it.
And I think in this respect, Spock and people like him speak for all of us,
and give us a sense that our, our true dignity
come from our own real sense of self worth.
So here's to Spock and all his fellow Indians,
and they all live long and prosper.
Row, row, row your boat, Gently down the stream,
rolling merrily, merrily, lightly down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, light. Come on,
Spock. Why didn't you jump in?
I was trying to comprehend the meaning of the words.
It's a song your green blooded Vulcan.
You sing it, the words aren't important.
What's important is that you have a good time singing it.
Oh, I am sorry, Doctor
will be having a good time. God, I
liked him better before he died.
All right. All right, let's call it was fascinating.
You have an efficient, intimate, superior physical skills,
no emotional impediments,
that are Vulcans who aspire all their lives to achieve
what you've been given by design.
You are half human. Yes.
Yet you have chosen a Vulcan way of life
and in fact, you've abandoned what I have sought all my life
Oh, so fun to love all or
he's been studying I've read what's wrong with that.
It wasn't programmed to be a tener was programmed to be a physician.
What's wrong with wanting to be more than that?
It's superfluous. Look at the
I've got the same matrix the same Hello Ray the same neural pathways as it does.
You don't see me cluttering up my circuits with relevancies
I'm content to be the best possible diagnostic program
I can be your EMH be happy to be a fine physician.
The doctor has taken it upon himself to become a person
who grows and learns and feels
it's made him a better physician
and EMH program can't feel anything.
Its emotional reactions are simply a series of algorithms
designed to make it easier to interact with
he's much more than that.
And I've known him for most of my life
he's one of my closest friends.
You can possibly believe that this program shares these feelings.
I know he does.
For 34 years I have endeavored to become more human
grow beyond my original programming.
I am unable to grasp such a basic concept as humor.
An emotions chip may be the only answer
what I believe this beverage has produced an emotional response. Really?
What are you feeling?
I am uncertain because I have had little experience with emotion
I am unable to articulate the sensation emotion
I'll explain later. Oh, looks like
he hates
yes I hate this.
I think the chip is working
Oh yes. I hate this.
It is revolting. More please constable
give me the bubbles.
So that you know
before I became a solid I never heard that.
I had no sense of tastes or I never paid much attention to food or drink.
I had no idea how seductive they could be.
Would you like me to get you a glass?
I'm on duty
I'm not by but
you were always on duty
you know at first
I found the whole process of ingestion disgusting
but now that I've gotten used to it
I find eating and drinking to be quite comforting
it's one of the few things that you

Star Trek 30 years and beyond continues
with a musical tribute to Gene Roddenberry.
Ladies and gentlemen, Marina circus
almost 10 years ago to the day I arrived in America,
six months later, and after six grueling weeks of auditions,
I was getting my suitcase down.
My visa had run out, I was out of money,
and I had a prepaid ticket back to England,
when the phone rang, and my agent said,
you've got the part in Star Trek The Next Generation 10 years on,
I still find it unbelievable that I'm involved in this huge phenomenon.
I feel very honored to have had a relationship with Gene Roddenberry and his family.
Not only was he a visionary in terms of television, what people wanted to see,
but he was also a very kind and gentle man who embraced me
and treated me like one of the family,
which I really appreciated as I was an alien in a strange land.
When Gene passed on, Rick Berman reminded us that the show must go on.
Rick picked up the mantle and
has carried it with great distinction ever since.
A lot of people want to view the world as Star Trek
does an optimistic non judgmental view.
Believing that it's not what's on the outside of people,
whether it's snake people or lizard people or fish people.
It's what's on the inside that matters.
Now to remind us of that the spirit and humanity
that Gene Roddenberry and Rick Berman gave us in the Star Trek universe
here is Jennifer l'amour.
Imagine no country
I wonder if you
no need for green
You
Tiger?
Hello if the look I'm really sorry
Will you please tell her majesty No autographs
don't care how much the corgis love the show?
Forget it. I'm really sorry.
If the fictional technology of the 24th century were really available today,
then I would be Roistering rambunctious part of tonight's celebrations,
instead of a bit of pre recorded tape being queued up in a control room by some producer.
But you see, for the past 10 years, I've had two families,
one genetic here in England, and the other one, celebrating that at Paramount.
And this weekend, my family of more than 50 years
must take precedence over my new family of only 10 years.
And I am so sad not to be with you all tonight.
But congratulations to all of us.
And here's to the next 30 years.
Yeah, I think I can get by without using the walking frame in this next shop.
Tonight, you've traveled through the galaxies
that grew out of the fertile imagination of Gene Roddenberry
and the other creators of Star Trek.
But also, during these three decades, we have seen an era of scientific advancement
that's been unmatched in human history.
And if you think of the parallel adventures that have occurred in the real world of science and aeronautics,
and that grew out of the realm of the imagination,
not far from this spot.
A poet once wrote of the human aspiration
that compels some men and women to write stories
and others To fly away from Earth's gravity more than 100 years ago,
Robert Browning wrote, if our reach does not exceed our grasp,
then what is heaven for
someone once told me that time was a predator
that stopped us all our lives.
And I rather believe in time as a companion
who goes with us on the journey reminds us to cherish every moment
because it'll never come again
what we leave behind is not as important as how we live
I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal
before this decade is out of landing a man on the moon
and returning him safely to the Earth.
Number One immortal
ladies and gentlemen, a free
as one who serves as captain of Deep Space Nine in the sound stages of Paramount
and has the opportunity to tell the stories of space for the world to see,
I have considerable admiration for the men and women
who take the great risks and actually venture into space.
Thus, it is an honor to introduce the man who made a mark in space that sets him apart.
He was the pilot of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module
who can never forget July 20 1969.
And the drama of that moment in history
when two men set foot on the moon for the first time.
Ladies and gentlemen, one of those men is with us tonight.
Dr. Buzz Aldrin
Thank you very much.
I often think how much attention in America today
is focused on the short term, the right now,
immediate self gratification.
I believe Star Trek's most important contribution has been
to light up the imagination of Americans and the entire world,
projecting it outward to the future.
Projecting in such a hopeful and helpful way that advances our understanding of technology,
and helps us understand ourselves.
I happily serve as elected chairman of the National Space Society.
And we strongly urge the expansion of human presence outward.
We support an increased program of space exploration
beyond the horizons of today.
So here's the salute to Star Trek's 24th century
and to the outward journey of the human race in the 21st century.
It's now my pleasure to introduce a valued colleague
and fellow astronaut Dr. Mae Jemison.
Thank you buzz, ladies and gentlemen, like Buzz
I've had the unique honor of thrill of going into space
and seeing the Earth from a different perspective.
Unfortunately, unlike buzz, I didn't have an opportunity to walk on the moon.
But there is one thing that I did that buzz didn't.
I'm the only astronaut who ever actually appeared on an episode of Star Trek,
and traveled on the Starship Enterprise.
since I can remember, I always wanted to go into space.
And I assumed that one day I would.
And when Star Trek hit the airwaves in 1966.
Here was a program that pointed the way and demanded a very hopeful future,
one in which all people on Earth had finally learned to work together.
In each episode, folks of all races, genders,
and even species boldly met challenges with positive spirits.
But you see, I had one small problem with Star Trek.
And the original series, one episode said women could not be starship captains.
And even as a girl I knew that it wasn't quite forward looking.
But we all grow.
And now there's Captain Janeway.
Nichelle Nichols brought to life.
Star Trek's Lieutenant O'Hara, one of the first women
and black people in a non traditional technical role.
She was an affirmation
that I was not alone in my determination to go into space.
And I'm very happy that we've been able to become friends.
And before I went into space, I made Nichelle a promise,
I started my shifts on the Shuttle Endeavor.
With the words to Huntsville,
all Healing frequencies are open.
My life is centered around science
and ways to ensure that all people benefit from its advances.
Star Trek helps to bring that connection to life.
The importance of Star Trek to me is the society
that it created the characters to speak to us
and the plots that help us to examine our own world in a new light.
I was excited to have a small role on Star Trek
and it wasn't just to meet Worf.
But really to underscore the connection between fantasy and reality,
the creativity that brings about
a Star Trek springs from the very same source as a creativity
that searches for cures for debilitating illnesses,
or that launches a space shuttle.
Our fantasies are the stepping stones to our realities,
the better our fantasies can be, the better our reality.
Ladies can become Star Trek is one of our very best fantasies.
So it is with a sense of honor and camaraderie that NASA the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
presents these flags flown in space aboard the space shuttle Atlantis
and the Russian space station Mir to the cruise of the starships enterprise
and Voyager and the station Deep Space Nine.
It says in recognition of your role in inspiring the bold spirit of exploration
and helping us all see the tremendous possibilities
for the future of humankind

behalf of NASA thank you and congratulations.
I have all my colleagues I want to say a heartfelt thank you to NASA Administrator,
Dan Goldin and to Buzz Aldrin, boss I like a name like bus don't you?
May Jemison and for this recognition to all of us the destinies of NASA
and Star Trek have been intertwined through the years especially in the very beginning,
when Americans would gather around the television sets
and watch the rocket launchers live when the rockets would go up.
Our ratings would go up.
When the rockets crashed, we got moved to Friday nights at 10.
The example of the astronauts their courage and their discipline
was always an inspiration to us as traffic as well as to you Americans everywhere
they taught us that there was nothing that mankind cannot accomplish.
They aimed at the moon, and they reached it.
We await journeys ahead to Mars and Venus,
and exploration vehicles going to the stars.
So we thank NASA for all they have done,
are doing, and we thank them too for that
inspiration has become the life support so many lives,
including mine, leading people in our profession
and others into a variety of careers
that would not have existed without NASA and Star Trek.
So NASA and Star Trek level long and prosper.
Good luck.
