  • LB – LONG BIO 2019 Copy
    LEVAR BURTON Biography LeVar Burton launched his acting career while still a student at the University of Southern California. Cast in the groundbreaking role of Kunta Kinte in the landmark television series “Roots,” at 19 he found himself on the cover of Time Magazine. A seemingly impossible act to follow, Burton managed to do so in dramatic fashion, achieving further global acclaim as Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge in the iconic “Star Trek: The Next Generation” television series and in feature films. However, it has been his role as host and executive producer of the beloved PBS children’s series “Reading Rainbow” of which he is most proud. Airing from 1983 to 2009, it was not only one of the longest-running children’s television shows in history, but also one of the most acclaimed, earning over 200 awards including multiple Emmys and a Peabody. Always committed to improving children’s education through innovative uses of storytelling, in 2012 Burton launched RRKidz, a digital educational publishing company. In a deal that ended in August, 2017 his company held the global rights to the Reading Rainbow brand through a partnership with series creator, WNED/Buffalo. That partnership resulted in a successful relaunch of the Reading Rainbow brand for a new generation of children. SKYBRARY is a digital reading service filled with over 500 children’s fiction and non-fiction books, more than 150 newly-produced video field trips and new content added every week. With over 16 million books and videos enjoyed since launch, SKYBRARY is a top selling educational app on iTunes and recipient of numerous awards.

    Women at Warp Episode 38: Disability and Ableism in Star Trek [bumper] Hi, this is Melinda Snodgrass and you’re listening to Women at Warp. [end bumper] [audio of LeVar Burton] It was really difficult on a weekly basis for the audience to see what Geordi saw. In fact, we never really successfully did it, in the seven years that we did Next Generation. In fact, the audience has never seen it in any of the movies, the audience has never seen what Geordi sees. Geordi sees all of the electromagnetic spectrum. That means he sees everything from infrared to x- ray. Geordi sees sound, ok? [end audio clip] JARRAH: Hi and welcome to Women at Warp. Join us as our crew of four women Star Trek fans boldly go on our bi-weekly mission to explore our favourite franchise. My name is Jarrah. Thanks for tuning in. Today, with us we have crewmembers Andi−− ANDI: Hello JARRAH: And Sue. SUE: Hi, everybody. JARRAH: We also have a very special guest, Kari. And I’m going to get you to introduce yourself and maybe tell us a bit about how you first got into Star Trek. KARI: Yeah, sure. So as you mentioned, my name is Kari. I’ve loved Star Trek since early high school. I started with Voyager because I was particularly inspired by the strong female role models. I loved Janeway. I’m also planning to get my PhD in sociology. So because of that and my analytical nature, Star Trek has always been a very deep well for me to dig into, in terms of having interesting things to analyze.

My own small contribution to this legendary story has continued to be a source of great pride to me during my career, and although I have been fortunate enough to have many other projects to satisfy the artist in me, I have nevertheless always felt a deep and visceral connection to the show. But there are reasons why this never- ending story has endured. I have always believed that this special connection to Star Trek we all enjoy comes from the positive picture the stories consistently envision.

    Copyright rests with Florilegium. The contents of the journal may not be copied, reprinted, or posted electronically without the editor's express written permission, although users are welcome to download and print articles for individual use. High-Tech Feudalism: Warrior Culture and Science Fiction TV Graham Knight and Jennifer Smith "Richard ΠΙ with aliens" is how Cornell (102) describes "Sins of the Father," an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (hereafter TNG) in which the Klingon warrior Worf, son of Mogh, seeks to restore his family's honour by exposing and challenging those responsible for falsely accusing his dead father of treason to the Klingon Empire. Worf is only partly successful in his quest, and he remains a perpetually marginal figure whose identity is divided by his Klingon heritage, his childhood as a Klingon orphan raised by humans., and his current status as the only Klingon in Starflect, the military arm of the Federation of Planets, an alliance of Earth and other worlds whose relationship with the Klingon Empire is marked by tension, suspicion and, at times, open hostility. As a result of these divisions and struggles, Worf s family is e'ventually stripped of its wealth and rank on the Klingon home-world, and Worfs brother Kurn seeks a ritual death as the only way to absolve his own and his family's disgrace. Historical and cross-cultural motifs are common in TNG, and resonate throughout the secondary texts that have sprung up around the television series— comics, reference books, novelisations of the TV episodes, fan conventions, and numerous Internet sites where devotees debate the minutiae of an imaginary future.

  • Data's First Christmas
    DATA'S FIRST CHRISTMAS RON STEIN DATA'S FIRST CHRISTMAS "Geordie, can you explain the concept of "Christmas Spirit" to me?" Geordie LaForge looked up from his snack, and smiled at the innocent, quizzical look on the face of his android friend Data. "Here we go again!" he thought. The two of them were sitting in their favorite booth in Ten-Forward, the crew lounge of the Federation Starship Enterprise. The two met like this just after their watch ended nearly every day. Geordie would grab a quick snack, and then they'd spend time chatting with friends, or just people watching. Ten-Forward was an ideal spot for this, with its near constant hum of activity. It was the cultural heart of the ship. For Geordie, people watching served the same purpose that it had for young men since time began. For Data, it was an education. "Why do you ask, Data? I mean, what brought this up?" "It is something I have noticed in the past, and I am observing it again here on board the Enterprise: as the Christmas anniversary approaches, beings of many races and faiths become kinder toward one another, and they seem happier. This is called "The Christmas Spirit". I do not understand." Geordie wondered briefly how an android managed to look perplexed, then asked "Data, how much do you know about Christmas?"
