The original 'Star Trek' series is the classic one. Its successor, 'The Next Generation,' is less lovable, but at its best, it's smarter.

I grew up with 'Star Wars,' not 'Star Trek.'

'Star Trek' was an attempt to say humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in lifeforms.

'Star Trek' is about a bunch of disparate people and what they're capable of when they work together.

'The Next Generation' was a lot of fun for a while, and then it wasn't a lot of fun. The reason it wasn't a lot of fun was that this one was going to be a guaranteed hit. The original 'Star Trek' was never a guaranteed hit.

I am a classic 'Star Trek' fanatic.

I love the fact that it's not only about Star Trek, but about science fiction in general, and science.

I'm a big 'Star Trek' fan.

I'm enormously proud of the fact that Star Trek has really not just sparked an interest, but encouraged, a few generations of people to go into the sciences.
