Oh, and someone named Gene Roddenberry??

I hear today is Star Trek Day. We would not have this day if not for Lucille Ball. Here is an early exchange that occurred during a Desilu meeting regarding the creation of Star Trek. Lucy: “Herb, what’s happening with the South Seas series?’ Herb: “The what?” Lucy: “You know, Herb, that South Seas series you mentioned last time.” Herb: “South Seas series? Gee, Lucy, I wish I could remember, but I don’t recall any South Seas series, Are you su--?” Lucy: “Herb, of course, you talked about a South Seas series. With the USO entertainers who went there during the war to visit the troops!” Herb: “Lucy, perhaps it’s something I’ve forgotten, but for the life of me, I do not recall ever mentioning a series we have in development about a group of USO entertainers visiting our troops in the South Seas during World War II!” Lucy: “Oh yes you did Herb, You called it Star Trek!” 'Later, out of hearing of the others, I explained Start Trek to Lucy. And I realized what an honest and human mistake she made. After all, in Lucille Ball’s world, a star trek could mean only movie stars traveling somewhere in the world for the USO to visit troops. The South Seas was as good a place as any.'—Inside Star Trek' by Herbert Solow and Robert H.

LololololololololololololSincerely, each version of Star Trek throughout the years has been met with some level of conservatism...like do you even Star Trek, bro?! A version of Star Trek that may or may not be closer aligned to the creator's original version that he couldn't get on T.V. Is something you should be excited about. If nothing else, it's a series with two WOC leading it. Thanks for playing and don't let the door hit you on the way out. #StarTrekDiscovery #startrek #SonequaMartinGreen #michelleyeoh #generoddenberry #sjw #fandom #blacknerdproblems
