118 - are chosen to be the legends

(YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!) 10 facts because I couldn't help myself!

1. Bobby Nash blames himself for years for the death of his family. It was all his fault, he should've been there. However there is one other person to blame; Jefferey Hudson. The immortal tyrant who thus far has been largely ignored by the Time Masters. It's time to change that.

2. After the Time Masters refuse to listen to reason Bobby is forced to take matters into his own hands. He steels his ship - time ship 118 - and with the help of Athena - the ship's A.I. - they put together a team of semi-qualified individuals who aren't supposed to matter to the timeline.

3. The first people recruited are Chimney and Albert Han; two recently reunited brothers who were experimented on by their father. Chimney ran away back when Albert was a baby but recently started suffering health problems such as blackouts. Apparently as a child his father injected him with the experimental Firestorm Matrix and now that it's active in Albert the two of them must merge to become Firestorm on a regular basis or they will both die.

4. The next recruit is Eddie Diaz; a former U.S. solider. Ever since his wife left him and took their son with her he's been in a bad place. He spends most of his time in underground fight rings. He agrees to go without much thought; what does he have to lose?

5. Buck is an ex-assassin from The League of Assassins. After he ran away from Pennsylvania he ended up in some shady places, and he thought he'd finally found a place to belong in the League. But eventually he couldn't take the indiscriminately killing anymore, and then there was the whole dying thing. After he came back from that he was exiled from the league anyway. So yeah.

6. The next two recruits come in the form of a crime duo; Hen Wilson and Eva Mathis. The two have been partners in crime since their days in juvie, and have always had this on/off romantic relationship. No matter where they're at with their feelings towards one another they always have each others backs. Hen holds Eva's leash, while Eva keeps Hen grounded. A mission through time can't come between them... right?

7. The final recruit is Karen Thomas; a former NASA rocket scientist until she was let go after she was kidnapped and some of her work was stolen. She's looking to find a cause to get behind, so of course she agrees in a heartbeat.

8. Over the course of the mission the team gets to know each other and things get complicated. Bobby really should've seen that coming. The biggest upset is Hen, Eva, and Karen. Hen and Karen start to get close, and this is hardly the first time Hen's gotten involved with someone outside of Eva, Eva could live with Hen having a fling. But it's more than that. Karen fills Hen's head with all these ideas that she could be better than what she is.

9. Buck and Eddie get close too. They talk over games of cards and trade war stories. Eddie talks a lot about Christopher, and Buck tells Eddie that it sounds like he's a great kid.

10. Buck goes rogue one mission. They end up in Hershey Pennsylvania in March 2019; just a day before his sister's death. What's set to happen is her abusive husband Doug will kill her, and then moments later kill him. An old friend from the League will put his body in the Lazarus pit, but nothing will be done for Maddie. He's going to change that.

Star Trek: Facets of Filmmaking

As it turns out, before Star Trek was fully realized in the form we know today, the show was originally not going to be about Kirk and the Enterprise at all.  In fact, it was going to be about a ship called the S.S. Yorktown, captained by a man named Robert April, on a mission to explore the Milky Way galaxy.  The original concept, still named Star Trek and set in the 23rd century, was loosely based on the Horatio Hornblower novels, and took inspiration from The Voyage of the Space Beagle, the Marathon series and the 1956 film Forbidden Planet.

By the year 1964, when this idea began to take shape, Gene Roddenberry, creator of Star Trek was an experienced writer for western television shows, and was well accustomed to (at the time) television’s favorite and most popular genre.  By 1964, however, Roddenberry was tired of the shootouts, and wanted to do something different, something with a little more depth to it.

Still, Roddenberry knew what the executives, and the public, was used to.  As a result, the first draft of this new Star Trek idea was generalized as a sort of ‘Wagon Train to the Stars’, a formulaic type of show where every episode was a standalone adventure in the continuous exploration of the final frontier: space.

As Roddenberry wrote the draft, a few things changed.  Gone was Robert April, replaced by Captain Christopher Pike, who would be portrayed by Jefferey Hunter, and the rest of the crew.  The name of the ship changed too, to the more familiar Enterprise.  As these changes came about, so too did the true nature of Roddenberry’s dream show: both an adventure story, and a thought-provoking morality tale.

Armed with his script, Roddenberry brought Star Trek to Desilu Productions, (a rather large television production company headed and half-formed by Lucille Ball herself) and met with director of production Herbert F. Solow.  Solow saw promise in the concept, and signed a three-year development contract with Roddenberry.

Star Trek moved into the next stage of development.  Further drafts were drawn up and the idea that would later become the episode The Cage was revised, until it was shown to CBS as part of the ‘First Look’ deal with Desilu productions.  CBS wasn’t impressed with the show, declining to purchase it.  They had another ‘space show’ in development that seemed too similar, a show that would become Lost in Space.

However, another company became interested: NBC.  In May of 1964, Grant Tinker, the head of the West Coast programming department, commissioned the pilot that would become The Cage (which would later be reworked into the episode The Menagerie).  After it was completed, NBC turned it down, claiming that it was ‘too cerebral’, but although this was a mild defeat, Star Trek wasn’t beaten.  NBC still showed interest in the concept, and made the highly unusual decision to commission a second pilot: the episode that would become Where No Man Has Gone Before.

With this came quite a few changes.

Christopher Pike was scrapped as a character, as was the vast majority of other cast members.  Only the character of Spock, as portrayed by Leonard Nimoy, was kept, and of the other cast members, only Majel Barrett stayed, demoted from playing the second-in-command (scrapped due to the unthinkable notion of a woman Commander) to the ship’s nurse, Christine Chapel.  With this new pilot came an onslaught of new, more familiar names and faces: William Shatner as Captain Kirk, Chief Engineer Lieutenant Commander Scott played by James Doohan, and Lieutenant Sulu, (originally a physicist in the first episode, but a helmsman afterwards) played by George Takei.

This pilot passed with flying colors, and with that, NBC added Star Trek to their fall lineup for 1966.

Still, there were changes to be made.  In this first pilot, the ship’s doctor was Mark Piper, played by Paul Fix.  Dr. Leonard McCoy, played by DeForest Kelley, would join the cast when principal filming for the first season began.  Also joining the cast was Nichelle Nichols, playing Lieutenant Uhura, and Grace Lee Whitney as Yeoman Rand.  (Whitney would depart halfway through the first season, after being on the receiving end of sexual assault from one of the executives of the show, but would later appear in the film series beginning in the 1970s.)

Besides Where No Man Has Gone Before, NBC ordered 15 episodes to start off the show.  The first episode of Star Trek, The Man Trap, aired at 8:30 PM on Thursday, September 8th of 1966 as part of NBC’s ‘sneak preview’ time slot, received with mixed feelings.  While some papers and reviewers genuinely liked the new show, (such as The Philadelphia Inquirer and the San Francisco Chronicle) others, such as The Boston Globe and The New York Times didn’t.  Variety described the show as ‘an incredible and dreary mess of confusion and complexities’, and predicted that it would fail.

Fighting for position against reruns of previous shows, despite the critics’ warnings, Star Trek won a time slot, and began with decent ratings.  However, it didn’t last long.  By the end of the first season, Star Trek was sitting at 52nd out of 94 programs.

Star Trek was sinking, fast.

But even then, it wasn’t without its supporters.

The editor of Galaxy Science Fiction, Frederik Pohl, offered up his amazement that Star Trek’s consistency remained good, with no drop in quality after its Tricon winning early episodes.  He expressed his fear that the show would be cancelled due to its low ratings, and pleaded with audiences to help save Star Trek, writing letters to prevent its cancellation.

At this time, the only thing that was keeping the show on the air in the first place was the demographics it was reaching.  NBC had become interested in the demographics of the shows it was producing in the early 1960s, and by 1967, was using that as part of the decision making as to which shows got dropped.  

And something about Star Trek’s demographics interested NBC very much: it had managed to attract ‘quality’ audiences: high income, high educated people (primarily males).

As a result, NBC ordered ten more episodes for the first season, and ordered a second in March of 1967.  The network then changed Star Trek’s timeslot, moving it to 8:30 on Friday nights, a timeslot that seemed doomed for failure among the audience that Star Trek had gathered.

The next season, things didn’t seem to be getting any better.  It was at this point that the show added on Walter Koenig as Ensign Chekov (as George Takei was working on The Green Berets and was not as available for shooting), although some might have wondered why they would have bothered.  The show’s ratings were still dropping.  William Shatner, expecting the show to be cancelled, began to prepare for other projects.  

Again, the demographics saved the day.

Roddenberry’s initial concept of adventure alongside morality tales intrigued the audiences Star Trek had attracted.  The show had values, values that had to be applied to every situation.  The show was sincere, and serious in its exploration of issues like racism, war and peace, human rights, technology, class warfare, and imperialism, far different in tone and content than the other chief sci-fi show at the time: Lost in Space.  As a result, the show generated a more interested fanbase, perhaps the first true ‘fanbase’ of any franchise in history.  In the end, it was they who saved Star Trek.

By the end of the first season, NBC had received well over 29,000 fan letters.  During the second season, Roddenberry began a campaign to persuade fans to write in to NBC, to support the show and save the program.  Between December of 1967 and March of 1968, NCB had received nearly 116,000 letters from people who did not want to see Star Trek cancelled.  Science fiction conventions, magazines, and newspaper columnists encouraged readers to save what was called ‘the best science-fiction show on the air’.

The fans didn’t stop with letters.  Over 200 students of the California Institute of Technology marched to NBC’s studio in Burbank to protest the cancellation of Star Trek in January of 1968, carrying signs that said things like ‘Vulcan Power’.  They weren’t alone; other groups of students of MIT and Berkeley did the same thing in New York City and San Francisco.

Interestingly, the letters that NBC received were not of the typical ‘fan mail’ quality.

“Much of the mail came from doctors, scientists, teachers, and other professional people, and was for the most part literate–and written on good stationery. And if there is anything a network wants almost as much as a high Nielsen ratings, it is the prestige of a show that appeals to the upper middle class and high-brow audiences.” (Lowry, Cynthia (January 17, 1968). “One Network Goes ‘Unconventional’”. Nashua Telegraph. Associated Press. p. 13)

“The show, according to the 6,000 letters it draws a week (more than any other in television), is watched by scientists, museum curators, psychiatrists, doctors, university professors, and other highbrows. The Smithsonian Institution asked for a print of the show for its archives, the only show so honored.” (Scott, Vernon (February 7, 1968). “Letters Can Save 'Star Trek’”. The Press-Courier. Oxnard, California. United Press International. p. 17.)

After the episode The Omega Glory, on March 1st, 1968, the announcement came:

“And now an announcement of interest to all viewers of Star Trek. We are pleased to tell you that Star Trek will continue to be seen on NBC Television. We know you will be looking forward to seeing the weekly adventure in space on Star Trek.” (“Letters For 'Star Trek’ Hit 114,667”. The Modesto Bee. April 14, 1968. p. 26.)

If this was intended to stop the letter writing campaign, it was a dismal failure.  A comparable number of letters came in to NBC following this announcement, full of thanks for renewing the show for the third season.

In March of 1968, NBC moved Star Trek to another time slot: 10:00 PM on Fridays, an even worse shot than before.  To make matters worse, it was only being seen by 181 out of 210 of NBC’s affiliates.  Roddenberry fought the network to move it to a better time, but he was denied.  Exhausted, Roddenberry quit working on production of Star Trek, remaining executive producer in name only.  The running of the show went to Fred Freiberger, who was with the show as it stood on its last, shaky, legs.

And it was on its last legs.

Star Trek season three was a dying breath, the death-rattle of a show that was being intentionally destroyed by its own network.

To quote Nichelle Nichols:

“While NBC paid lip service to expanding Star Trek’s audience, it [now] slashed our production budget until it was actually 10% lower than it had been in our first season … This is why in the third season you saw fewer outdoor location shots, for example. Top writers, top guest stars, top anything you needed was harder to come by. Thus, Star Trek’s demise became a self-fulfilling prophecy. And I can assure you, that is exactly as it was meant to be.”

It showed.

While I hesitate to call season three of Star Trek a mess, it is difficult to deny that the show was definitely struggling.  Episodes dropped in quality, characters became more exaggerated and less ‘true’. Star Trek stopped filming in January of 1969, and after a total run of 79 episodes, the show  was cancelled.

As a newspaper columnist advised:

“You Star Trek fans have fought the “good fight,” but the show has been cancelled and there’s nothing to be done now.”

Rather incongruous with the image of the pop-culture giant we know it as today, wouldn’t you think?

So what happened?

As it turns out, Star Trek had enough episodes (thanks to the third season) to enter syndication.  Desilu Productions, which at that point had become Paramount, licensed the syndication rights in order to turn a profit, and reruns of Star Trek began airing in late 1969.

In syndication, Star Trek became a cult classic, finding a larger audience on reruns than it had during its original run.  The show, which was airing in the afternoons and early evenings, was attracting a young demographic, and, ironically, Star Trek became known as ‘the show that wouldn’t die’.  By 1970, Star Trek was boosting Paramount’s ratings, and becoming extremely popular.  In January of 1972, over 3,000 fans attended the first Star Trek convention in New York City, kicking off a previously unheard-of trend of organized fan gatherings where they could buy merchandise, meet cast and crew, and screen episodes of the show.  These people, coming to be known as ‘trekkies’, took pride in their knowledge and extreme love for this series, which was becoming renowned for being a smart, heartfelt science fiction show that had been cancelled too early.

17 years after Star Trek was cancelled and started reruns, Star Trek became the most popular syndicated show of all time.  By 1987, Paramount was bringing in $1 million per episode, and by 1994, reruns were still airing in over 90% of the United States of America.

The rest is history.

It has been over fifty years since Gene Roddenberry’s vision of a wagon train to the stars first took flight, and it was a hard battle fought to get as far as it did.  Never before had a show garnered the support and devoted love from a fanbase, never had it inspired such huge leaps and bounds in television and fandom alike.  Never had a television show meant so much to so many, and continued to do so well past its end.

For a show that struggled through a third season, it seems incredible that Star Trek still holds the weight that it does today.  The show that wouldn’t die gained new life beyond the grave, still capturing people’s attention decades after it was cancelled, growing to become one of the best known and best loved television shows ever made.

Against all odds, Star Trek lives on, remaining one of the greatest television shows of all time, for very good reason.

Join me for one last article as next time we take one last look at Star Trek in our Final Thoughts.  If you have any thoughts, questions, suggestions, recommendations, or just want to say hi, don’t forget to leave an ask!  Thank you all so much for reading, and I hope to see you in the next article.

Who is Christopher Jeffries?

Who is Christopher Jeffries?

Most people actively try to bury their differences and become like everyone else for fear of ridicule. They want to belong. They want to ‘fit in’. They don’t like to be singled out, have their differences scrutinized, put on microscope slides or in Petri dishes and poked by society. I on the other hand, rejoice in it. I don’t want to belong if it means having to wrestle your individuality into a…

CAUGHT: WHO’s Anti-fertility Vaccination Program Chronicled In New Paper

Article Preface by TLB Staff Writer: Christopher WyattThis is the smoking gun if ever there was one. We live in a world where the pharmaceutical and agricultural industry own the people. All of it is done under the guise of human health but if you look at at what is really going on we have a planet filled with people who have been disabled by vaccines and toxic food. These same people who…

London Fashion Week Men’s

Men’s Collection is in full flow and showed how beautiful the strange can be. In the early days Fashion Week was used to make a statement, which can now be quite difficult because there is nothing really strikingly shocking in this world. Team Twenty6 went to yesterdays memorable shows and found out that curvy models are not only present at women’s wear, David Beckham is the ultimate icon of Boarding school chic and Charles jeffery exceeded all expectations and ended Day 2 with a bang. 

Kent & Curwen 

Daniel Kearns presented his AW18 collection in the heart of Covent Garden alongside fantastic campaign imagery, produced in collaboration with photographer, Perry Ogden.The captivating images focus on real men and their routines and rituals throughout an ordinary day. Much like WWW the designer created casual, yet elegant looks that can be worn in and outside work. Hoodies, Rugby shirts and casual jackets merge with easy tailoring and knitwear, creating a well balanced collection for the sporty and ambitious man.The brand’s ambassador, David Beckham also showed guests of the presentation how the looks can be worn and chatted along for style and life advice. 

 Christopher Raeburn 

Entering the Show space, deep, mystical tones and gulping sounds immediately transported one under water. The designer’s AW18 collection was inspired by the power of water and the many mysteries the ocean hides. He entitled the collection IMMERSE, a theme he communicated towards the audience perfectly, presenting looks that flaunted water resistant fabrics such as neoprene and rubber. Details included big buckles and lifejacket like bags. Christopher Raeburn did not only just produce a dynamic collection, but also recycled it to follow up on his sustainable ethos. It showed that sustainability and luxury can indeed be combined and look fantastic. The show was certainly a success and one of the great highlights of Day at Men’s Collections. 

Michiko Koshino 

Another of London’s fantastic surprises, dazzled viewers of the presentation yesterday in an absolutely packed show space accompanied by delicious sushi and beverages. Models posed in a scenery that reminded of a stock room, taped with branded neon tape as accessories and designs that were completely dipped into the streetwear scene. Fresh and energising can be words to describe the looks, flaunting lively colours on hues of grey and black. The show and the collection were the reason why London is such a great place for creatives, as nothing is ever the same. London surprises and so does Michiko Koshino. A fantastic AW18 collection that makes us wish it is already the season to wear it. 

Charles Jefferey Loverboy

The designer was inspired by his origins, Scotland, which could be seen like a red string throughout his collection. The show was a mixture between the beautiful and the strange, creating an atmosphere that could only be present at an asylum. Screaming actors that pretended to judge the show just as the other gazers, yet with far more emotions, were sat in between the catwalk and seated the perfect contrast between fiction and reality. The designer plays with the extreme and the elegant and hides behind the screams of the sparingly real looking actor-psychos. The show made a statements and reminded of the aggressive flamboyance of the gay pride, overcoming the pain of growing up gay. The looks catered beautiful tones of red and blue, offered some random, yet creative cut-out trench coats and introduced wool looks, that can be seen repeatedly this season. Following Charles Jeffrey’s Award, this show and collection has certainly exceeded expectations and ended Day 2 with a strong statement.
