Starfleet Communiqu STARFLEET USPS Issue 93 * STARFLEET: The International Star Trek Fan Association * June/July 1999 017-671 In Memory of DeForest Kelley William Shatner called him a “....true Southern Gentleman.” Leonard Nimoy said that he “....was a decent, loving, caring partner and will be deeply missed.” Brent Spiner said that he was “....maybe the nicest persona of all involved with Star Trek. I was honored to share a scene with him.” Majel Barrett Roddenberry said that he was “....truly one of the most remarkable and talented men to walk the face of the earth. This is the biggest loss that Star Trek will ever have, excluding Gene.” However, no amount of words can really express the shock and sadness every Trek- ker felt when word of DeForest Kelley’s passing got out. We had lost Gene Roddenberry, and Mark Lenard, but this was the first regular cast member we have lost. And what a loss it is. As a Trekker since the sixties, my first memories of Trek that really stick with me were the ones of Bones and Spock and their arguments. The degree that he was beloved showed when he appeared in the pilot of Star Trek: The Next Generation, inspecting the ship before it started off. As we pause to remember our honored dead, I remember Kirk’s words in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, as he oversaw Spock’s funeral, and they fit here all so well: “Of all the souls.......his was the most.....human.” We commend the soul and spirit of DeForest Kelley to the loving care of the Maker of All Things, confident of the resurrection, and remembering that this is just a tempo- rary separation. He can not return to us, but we will go the same path he now has one day. Au Revoir, Bones. Till we meet again. Col.

  • Trekonderoga 2018
    Special Guests Karl Urban Original Star Trek series fan and New Zealand-born actor Karl Urban actively pursued and won the role of Dr. Leonard McCoy on 2009’s motion picture named, appropriately enough, Star Trek. In his portrayal, Karl evoked many of the subtle mannerisms and vocalisms made famous by one DeForest Kelley of an earlier era – one could consider his performance as an ultimate fan tribute. Karl was interested in acting from a very early age, debuting at age 8 in the New Zealand television series Pioneer Woman. Internationally he appeared in both Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and its spin-off Xena: Warrior Princess, playing recurring roles in both American/New Zealand series. He eventually started working on Hollywood productions and in relatively no time was in big productions such as The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Supremacy, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Doom. Hollywood press has speculated that he could have landed the role of “James Bond” had not previous film commitments gotten in the way (the role went to Daniel Craig). Other films he appeared in include Red, Dredd, The Loft, Pete’s Dragon, while Karl most recently appeared as “Skurge” in 2016’s Thor: Ragnarok. Karl is active on the convention circuit and makes his first bombshell appearance at this year’s edition of Trekonderoga! Be sure not to miss your opportunity to meet Karl onboard the original Enterprise – where else but in Sickbay, naturally – in a time-defying trip back to the original series sets with today’s Dr. McCoy! Appears Saturday & Sunday only Gates McFadden Not many Enterprise-D characters could call their Captain by his first name, but Doctor Beverly Crusher, memorably played by Gates McFadden, certainly could – and did.

    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.

  • The History of Star Trek
    The History of Star Trek The original Star Trek was the brainchild of Gene Roddenberry (1921-1991), a US TV producer and scriptwriter. His idea was to make a TV series that combined the futuristic possibilities of science fiction with the drama and excitement of TV westerns (his original title for the series was ‘Wagon Train to the Stars’). Star Trek was first aired on American TV in 1966, and ran for three series. Each episode was a self-contained adventure/mystery, but they were all linked together by the premise of a gigantic spaceship, crewed by a diverse range of people, travelling about the galaxy on a five-year mission ‘to explore new life and new civilisations, to boldly go where no man has gone before’. Although not especially successful it attracted a loyal fan-base, partly male fans that liked the technological and special effects elements of the show. But the show also attracted a large number of female fans, many of whom were drawn to the complex interaction and dynamic between the three main characters, the charismatic but impetuous Captain Kirk (William Shatner), the crotchety old doctor McCoy (DeForest Kelley) and the coldly logical Vulcan science officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy). After the show was cancelled in 1969 the fans conducted a lengthy and ultimately successful campaign to resurrect the franchise. Roddenberry enjoyed success with several motion pictures, including Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979); action-thriller Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982); Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (1984) and the more comic Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986).
