Happy birthday, Star Trek! It's Sept. 8 and that means another year has rolled around since 9/8/66—43 of them to be exact.We make such a big deal out of even the "off-year" birthdays now that it makes you wonder what Star Trek did on its "Big 21"? Go out and get drunk? Prove that it was a grownup now?
Let's see, that would have been 1987 ... Hmm, oh yeah. Star Trek went out and pulled a party that lasted seven years—it premiered The Next Generation the week of Sept. 27, and showed the world how to do it again. Way to grow up, Gene's baby.

That was my intro to Trek. I was hired to promote the premiere 2 hour TNG movie. I remember going through dailies since we didn't have a complete show to work with.
