The Sci-Fi television and movie series Star Trek is releasing a new movie in May.  This series first began in 1966 and has since grown into a world of its own.  With 6 different television series' and 12 different movies the Star Trek franchise may soon be hitting the end of its run.  The latest movie is the sequel to a new series of movies that has predated everything we have seen before.  The characters take up the rolls of the original cast of Captain Kirk traveling the galaxy with his crew and starship, but the crew is much younger.  The series shows a lot of the back story of the characters in what was developed 40 years ago in the original series.  The latest series is action packed and emphasizing the special effects that was not there 40 years ago.

     Since its beginning Star Trek has had loyal fans who enjoy the development of new ideas and new series'.  The creativity of the episodes where we meet new species with different abilities and freak looking faces inspired the development of many other Sci-Fi series'.  The franchise has participated in the creative ability to develop other life forms with social issues and emotions similar to our own.  The character development of the relationships between the different species is one of the fine points in the Star Trek series, main point being Kirks relationship with Spock.

I hope that the producers at CBS and director, JJ Abrams, continue to keep the story line as one of the main parts in the Star Trek series.  Many loyal fans are excited about the new movie and latest series but fear for what might happen to the timeline and history that the Star trek series has developed.
