    Star Trek and History

    Chapter 15 Who’s the Devil? Species Extinction and Environmentalist Thought in Star Trek Dolly Jørgensen Spock: To hunt a species to extinction is not logical. Dr. Gillian Taylor: Whoever said the human race was logical? —Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home In Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home , the inhabitants of twenty-third-century Earth learn all too well the price of their illogical behavior. By hunting the humpback whale to extinction in the twenty-first century, humankind had sealed its own fate. The humpbacks had been in communication with aliens in the twentieth century, but they had no descendants to reply to an alien probe visiting the planet two centuries later. Earth seemed to be on the verge of destruction, as the seemingly omnipotent probe demanded a reply. Luckily, the Enterprise crew saved the Earth inhabitants from a watery grave with the help of time travel, a biologist, nuclear fuel from a naval vessel, plexiglas, and two twentieth-century whales. Sometimes we think of science fiction as presenting escapist, made-up fantasy worlds. From its beginnings in the 1960s until the present, however, Star Trek has commented on contemporary social issues, establishing itself as part of a larger discourse on the state of the world.1 Contemporary environmental concerns are a major theme in Star Trek. In this chapter, we show how the portrayal of animal species’ extinction in the television shows and movies traces gradual changes in environmentalist thinking over the last forty-five years. Although species extinction could include the mass destruction of worlds and the extinction of peoples, like the loss of the Vulcans in the 2009 movie Star Trek or the civil war that wiped out the population of Cheron (TOS, “Let That Be Your 253 Last Battlefield”), the focus here is on creatures equivalent to animals rather than civilizations that are considered equivalent to humans.

We decided to go ahead and put this newsletter out on time even though it is so close to Terracon. It would have been too late if we had left it till after the con and we didn't really fancy going home from the con to the newsletter. As September 30th is the end of STAG's year we have printed the accounts at the end of this letter. He've ended up with less money in the bank than we started with, but don't worry as there is a good reason. Sylvia is still holding renewal money which hasn't been processed through the Gooks yet and a couple of' bookshops owe us quite a lot on zines. Also we'Ve had to layout quite a lot of money for paper and photos to stock up for the con. The clUb has broken even for the year and we have a good stock of 'zines and photos on hand.
