- 1: Star Wars Vs. Star Trek
- In my opinion Star Wars is much more sophisticated and detailed than Star Trek. The more laid back Star Trek fans known as Trekkies will disagree, while the rabid Star Trek group called Trekkers would set their phasers on kill. I intend to discuss the major ideas and technology of Star Wars and Star Trek in this ...

- 3: Taoism In Star Trek: Action Versus Inaction
- Taoism In Star Trek: Action Versus Inaction The Star Trek The Next Generation episode: "Booby Trap" shows a perfect example of Taoist thought. The crew of the Enterprise is always taking some action in order to achieve a specific goal.

- 4: Technological Literacy
- ... the futuristic, and the anarchic, all of which generate their own social dynamics. Increasingly, technology features as a central plot device on which cinematic and TV narratives are built. Star Trek is a prime example of a popular cultural text focussed on futuristic space technology and the social relations, social organisation, and moral dilemmas faced by residual 19th century ... lost planets or space-craft communities, and by humanoids, androids, and cyborgs of new high or `post'tech societies. The immense popular interest in such programs is evident in Star Trek spin-offs such as Star Trek - Deep Space Nine, Star Trek - The Next Generation, and Star Trek - Voyager. These and the original Star Trek series (now ...
- 5: Interstellar Travel: Sooner or Later?
- ... propellant, and discovery of a means to power such devices. Why? - Because space is big, really, really, really big." (Why is Interstellar) For any human to ever reach another star, speeds greater than comprehension would be needed. Millis illustrates this idea on his web site, "The most obvious challenge to practical interstellar travel is speed. Our nearest neighboring star is 4.3 Light Years away. Trip times to reach our nearest neighboring star at conventional speeds would be prohibitively long. At 55 miles-per-hour for example, it would take over 50 million years to get there!... At a more ...

"Star Trek" the popular sci-fi television show of the 60's and 70's used mostly super imposure in it's special effects.

Though it was a fictional story, Star Trek became the universal vision of the future. As always reality tends to mimic fiction.

- 8: The Trickster
- ... reading about these three tricksters I wondered if modern culture had any of it's own original tricksters. Then I found one in one of my favorite TV shows; Star Trek the next generation. The character by the name of ‘Q' played by John DeLancey is a classic trickster and a good specimen for the archetype. In Star Trek man is a constant voyage to better himself through knowledge, using science and reason as their Gods (like Freud, they are a product of the enlightenment ...
- 9: The Hype: Television
- ... Bucharest, or the cartooning living rooms of Sitcom land (Hamill, 375). In these places, life is idealized. Rarely do you see television shows characters doing remedial jobs. Scotty, from Star Trek, never left engineering to fix a toilet (Have you ever seen a toilet on Star Trek?). The characters also never have mundane, daily trials (How about a speeding ticket for James Bond?). Television has warped the impressionable minds of young viewers into ...
- 10: Who Was Jesus?
- ... amazing coincidence happened to me after I finished reading the Parable of "The Pearl of Great Price." A couple of hours later, I was watching an old episode of Star Trek on TV, and 'Scotty' had actually quoted the same, exact parable at the end of the show! Funny that the writers of Star Trek predict the future to still hold the same religion as now, and 2000 years ago. Both Matthew and Mark write about the part of Pilate in ...
