Star Trek: Voyager

Science Fiction is an extremely popular TV genre, with its proof being its long-running longevity through the history of television. There can also noticeably be three forms of science fiction; ‘stories of travel through space (to other worlds, planets, stars), stories of travel through time (into the past or into the future) and stories of imaginary technologies (machinery, robots, computers, cyborgs and cyber culture)’ (VIII, Roberts, Adam. 2006) it is through these three categories that science fiction can be critically looked into specifically, via its mise-en-scene, and narrative, to associate itself to one of the three categories. For the British Film Institute’s screening of science-fiction programmes, the shows chosen are as followed;…

My brother was constantly in and out of hospitals: so much so that I count St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital among my childhood homes. The perk of being in hospitals (and hotels, and the Target House or Ronald McDonald House), is the rampant availability of cable television. Though I never watched enough cable children’s shows to really follow any particular series, getting to watch cable TV was special and exciting. It was treated as a treat, not something to which to grow accustomed.…

Set phasers to rhetorical analysis of Star Trek fandom. Star Trek, while it started as a television series in 1966, has grown into a massive universe that has captivated millions across the world. Fans of Star Trek, better known as “Trekkies”, are devoted fans of the series who love it not only for its space action and adventure, but also for its themes and lessons about life and the world. There is heated debate among Trekkies concerning the origin of the term. It is said that an editor named…

“I know you can do better.” No matter how great something might be, things can still go wrong. Do not let this be the breaking point, instead, break the mold and continue to push the bar. Mentioned again is the ‘’head fake.’’ His programs allowed his students to have fun while learning something hard, or, completely mask what they were actually learning. These classes allowed him to focus on people and learning to work in groups. One of his most important lessons from this is getting…

In the sketch you can see already there 's are negative connotations associated with "fandom" (which consists of taste, class and gender) the actors dressed like stereotype 'nerds ' as in wearing glasses, acting like shy and wearing Star Trek memorabilia e.g . We answered some questions that were given to us in the lectures for instance "what are the production team trying to about fandom" I wrote that it 's was an easy to follow so you could become a fan of the show easily, gatekeeper - so it…

In the 1960s a television series Star Trek came out, and William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy became mega stars. Star Trek never really showed on tv until the 1980’s when the “Star Trek” pilot, “The Cage” came out and Gene Roddenberry showed it to the public!! It only aired three seasons. Star Trek is about twenty- first century planets that are a couple years into the future. They change the first season name to the original series. Gene Roddenberry created star trek to tell people what he…

What began as a simple childlike fascination with space and aviation when I watched my first episode of Star Trek as a young girl, has followed me through the years, subtly influencing my choices throughout my studies. To me, the engineers in that series were the true heroes; no matter what happened, they were always able to draw out a “little more power” or come up with the creative work-around (albeit at the last second) that allowed the crew to collectively maneuver themselves out of whatever…

After reading the synopsis of the Star Trek episode it is clear that Picard and Maddox have differing views on the mind/body problem. Picard's view is very materialistic compared to Maddox who has a very dualistic view. Proof that Picard is more materialistic can be found throughout the synopsis. He believes that Data should be able to make his own decisions and should have rights to determine what happens to him and what does not happen to him. (Synopsis) In the trial, Picard argues in favor of…
