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.

    THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY SCHREYER HONORS COLLEGE DEPARTMENT OF FILM-VIDEO AND MEDIA STUDIES THE EVOLUTION OF UHURA: REPRESENTATIONS OF WOMEN IN TREK KRISTEN TUNNEY Fall 2010 A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a baccalaureate degree in Film-Video with honors in Media Studies Reviewed and approved* by the following: Jeanne Lynn Hall Associate Professor of Communications Thesis Supervisor Barbara Bird Associate Professor of Communications Honors Adviser Paula Droege Lecturer in Philosophy Third Reader * Signatures are on file in the Schreyer Honors College. i Abstract: The Evolution of Uhura: Representations of Women in Trek will be a primarily textual character analysis* of the ways in which the character of Uhura has evolved and transformed over the past forty years. In the paper, I claim that Trek films have always had both positive and negative representations of women, and that ―NuTrek‖ fails and succeeds in ways that are different from but comparable to those of ―classic‖ Trek. I will devote the first half of my paper to Uhura‘s portrayal in Star Treks I through VI. The second half of my research will focus on the newest film, Star Trek (2009). I will attempt to explain the character‘s evolution as well as to critique the ways in which NuTrek featuring the Original Series characters manages to simultaneously triumph and fail at representing the true diversity of women. * my interpretation of how different characters can be ―read‖ as either positive or negative representations of gender; my own interpretation will be compared and contrasted with that of other Trek scholars, and I will be citing sources both in feminist literature and media studies literature (and some combinations) to back up my own conclusions about the films.

  • Star Trek: My Brother's Keeper by Joe Haffner 1
    Star Trek: My Brother’s Keeper by Joe Haffner Captain’s Log Stardate 5923.5, the Starship Enterprise is en route to Brannock Station – at Rigel VII - to pick up the new President of the United Federation of Planets – S’kol, and then take him to his home planet - Vulcan - for the upcoming inauguration ceremony. In addition to the Enterprise being ordered to escort the new President to the aforementioned political function, Starfleet Intelligence has informed us of a far more pressing issue in that one of our own may be using his position and resources to pursue a personal vendetta. Kirk turns off his log recorder, lifts his eyes above an ancient leather-bound hardback copy of Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. While lifting his gaze from the dusty pages in his hands, his eyes fixate on his reflection in the mirror. He is astonished at the toll the five-year mission is taking on his appearance. “I have crows’ feet.” Jim mutters while touching his tired eyelids. His hair is starting to show more white and gray strands, betraying his youthful age of 36-years. Kirk puts his book down on the nightstand, gets out of his chair and pulls on the bottom of his gold tunic. “It’s too tight.” The Captain mutters, realizing the garment is much tighter than he remembered. Too many hours of over-indulging in drink and heavy meals and not enough time exercising. No doubt that would be Doctor McCoy’s diagnosis during the next medical physical. The Captain acknowledges that the uniform he is now wearing was measured to fit his body at a time when he was a few pounds lighter.

    "I'm an American" — George Takei on a lifetime of defying stereotypes By Kalama Kelkar, PBS Newshour on 05.18.17 Word Count 1,414 Level MAX George Takei arrives at the 2014 Human Rights Campaign Gala in Los Angeles, California. AP Photo George Takei, the famed actor and activist perhaps best-known for his role of Sulu in "Star Trek" or for his posts on civil rights to his millions of social media followers, has lived many lives. Among them: he was one of roughly 120,000 Japanese-Americans who lived through internment after Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, an experience that he says he feels more obliged than ever to discuss. He recently recounted in the The New York Times, “I was 7 years old when we were transferred to another camp for ‘disloyals.’ My mother and father’s only crime was refusing, out of principle, to sign a loyalty pledge promulgated by the government. The authorities had already taken my parents’ home on Garnet Street in Los Angeles, their once thriving dry cleaning business, and finally their liberty.” After they were released, he and his family had to readjust. Takei ran for school government in junior high and high school, studied architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, and earned a degree in drama from the University of California, Los Angeles. A turning point for his This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. career came in 1966 when he began playing the role of Hikaru Sulu in the Star Trek television series. From the beginning, Takei fought stereotypes and tropes imposed on his character — in one instance, for the "Star Trek" episode “The Naked Time,” Takei convinced writer John D.F.

The mysterious Mikes were Michael Deschenes (Kinesiology) and – Mike Tierney (Government); further, Liz was not Liz Francis (Biology – not sure where that name came from) but rather Liz(abeth) Allison (Biology), who is in fact the chair, as the Secretary may have noticed had there been less haste (festina lente, as they say), and Herr Professor‐at‐the‐Back‐of‐the‐Room was none other than our very own award‐ winning Professor Paul Mapp. The secretary also regrets the slip of John for Tom Linneman (again, too much haste), with sincere thanks to Debbie Bebout (Chemistry) and John Gilmour (Government) – in alphabetical order – for the corrigenda.

  • Chapter 1. Kathryn Janeway, Former Captain of the Federation Starship Voyager, Sat on the Bench She Had Just Cleaned of Snow
    The end is the beginning by Kadyan Part 1 Chapter 1. Kathryn Janeway, former captain of the Federation Starship Voyager, sat on the bench she had just cleaned of snow. This year was so different from the last one. When they had arrived on Earth just before Christmas, surprising everyone, they had been the endless talk on the news. Interviews of the families, interviews of the crew, how they destroyed the Borg Queen… A year had passed by and nothing had been as she had expected. She had felt so guilty because she had stranded her ship in the Delta quadrant for seven years. During all these years, she had had only one goal: getting home. And now that she was home, her life was meaningless. Kathryn looked at the snow that covered her mother’s garden and all the fields around. Everything was frozen outside and inside her. How can one life so full have become so empty? She didn’t know…didn’t want to know. But now she had reached a point in her life where she had to decide. When has everything gone wrong? She knew when : the day Chakotay had asked her to step back and let Seven go. She had been hurt by the request on that day, a week after they had arrived on Earth, but she had stepped back. When she had received the invitation for their wedding, she had discarded it and didn’t attend. Seven had tried to contact her but she had never acknowledged, read or answered any of her messages.

  • Precise Timings
    Episode 2.10 Precise Timings Voyager had never been so quiet, at least not since Neelix had tried to make his own cheese. Most corridors were empty, all stations had been abandoned, even quarters were abandoned. The only damage was contained to one room. "My beloved wall! You'll pay for that out of your rations!" Neelix screeched toward a person shaped dent in the wall by the door. Despite the rowdy noise from 150 plus people stuffed into and around the Mess Hall and the blaring music, everyone heard him. Who he had been yelling at only laughed despite the new ringing in his ears. "Put it on my tab," James said while repressing a smirk. Neelix could only puff his cheeks and watch him leave, this time through the doors. "A tab? What's that?" Neelix mumbled. He walked away through what little space there was amongst the crowd, towards his kitchen, the only empty part of Deck Two. "Computer...?" Nearby a turbolift arrived with only one person on board, and about twenty waiting to get in. Morgan scurried out before she was crushed, her eyes wide. "What the hell...?" she stuttered at the sight of the many people dotted around the corridor, blind stinking drunk and or already passed out. After five minutes of pushing her way through the crowds, Morgan ran into somebody she recognised. Fortunately she seemed normal enough to approach. "Mum?" Kathryn lifted her head up from the sofa, propping herself up uncomfortably on her elbows, leaving her legs sprawled out behind her and over the edge.
