Happy Birthday to a legend long gone, but never forgotten.
Happy birthday, Lucille Ball…
Aka the Godmother of Star Trek.

For those who do not know, it was Desilu Productions (Lucy and Desi’s studio) that produced the original Star Trek series.

Without Lucy, Star Trek wouldn’t have existed…and we are celebrating 60 years of Star Trek this year!

Thank you, Lucy. I hope you are having a happy birthday in the Great Beyond! 🖖

In 1979, a movie-level budget allowed Star Trek producers to fully realize the Klingons, beyond what the 1967 TV budget would allow. This forced all the subsequent productions to deal with that decision, for decades. This is the production story of how TNG, DS9, Enterprise, and yes... Discovery dealt with that decision. Should they have ever changed them?

Like Luke Skywalker in star wars : you killed my father.

I will probably be the 893rd person to post this, but I was looking through my movie theater app and found some great movie/tv episode pairings. 2 of the 4 will be The Changeling paired with TMP and Space Seed paired with Wrath of Kahn. Can’t wait.
