Serling never contributed to the show directly, he only liked it as did many and was quoted since he was well known. Calling the people in th article "trekkies" was a stretch since most of them only liked and respected the show (aside from those involved in it), and probably weren't trekkies in the sense that they were consumed by it like we are. :)Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-52110432878841924262010-08-04T19:08:10.526-07:002010-08-04T19:08:10.526-07:00Regarding Famous Trekkies, what did Rod Serling on...Regarding Famous Trekkies, what did Rod Serling one of my favorite writers, have to do with Star Trek. Did her write any of the eps??? I am curious. Thanks for your scrapbook.

Which is why I loved the Galatica and 1999 cons: Very much still 'homegrown' in nature, no $40 autographs..<br /><br />I believe I collected Starlog up until the 50th ish or so, but have discarded them all (first cutting out the cool full-page photos..), saving the first 20 issues. They were in many ways my childhood and adolesence.., waiting for the next issue.david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-13123040634590026852010-07-30T06:51:58.734-07:002010-07-30T06:51:58.734-07:00John,

I liked the SNL article as well, I've already posted it in fact: http://mystartrekscrapbook.blogspot.com/2009/01/last-voyage-of-starship-enterprise.htmlFrederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-14360454081085173562010-07-29T21:49:55.432-07:002010-07-29T21:49:55.432-07:00This was one of my favorite issues of Starlog..! ...This was one of my favorite issues of Starlog..! Being a huge 1999 fan (still am..), it was nice promo for the 'less-than-great' 2nd year. It was also a super Trek follow-up to the first issue.. <br /><br />I love the next ish featuring Trek Cons and the script to the SNL Trek sketch..!

In an interview by the co-publisher, Kerry O'Quinn, Roddenberry shared more of his thoughts on religion, particularly Christianity. Readers fought back and forth in the letters column over that interview for many, many issues after it appeared.<br /><br />A bit of a description of it is here in my<a href="http://weimarworld.blogspot.com/2010/05/starlog-project-starlog-100-november.html" rel="nofollow">writeup of Starlog #100</a>.<br /><br />PS: I once attended a presentation by the entire advertising staff of a major Christian magazine – and they were all dressed in their Star Trek uniforms (circa Next Generation). Fans, every one of them. So you're not alone!jzippererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14774755651549270732noreply@blogger.com
