Day late but… I didn’t get on-line at all yesterday (the 19th) so… Anyway, I made this video for Gene’s would-have-been 85th birthday a few years ago. I had a YouTube channel at the time and it got like 4,000 hits including Rod Roddenberry (Gene’s son) who really liked it. But then my channel got nuked thanks to over-zealous corporate nonsense so… anyway… yeah… |

No, Gene Roddenberry is not on African safari. This is him in 1943 in the South Pacific. |

Gene Roddenberry behind the scenes during the filming of the original 1964 “Star Trek” pilot episode entitled “The Cage” - a pilot rejected by NBC. They did do the extraordinary thing though of ordering a second pilot. Which did get picked up. ;) ((Like This? Check Out My Archive and Follow Me!)) |

Gene Roddenberry inspects the first miniature of his starship while on location filming the original pilot “The Cage” in 1964. I have another photo like this with both Roddenberry and Jeff Hunter that’s been colorized. ((Like This? Check Out My Archive and Follow Me!)) |

There are more cast photos from Star Trek: The Motion Picture then there are Star Trek feature films. I could only fit this many into this post. It really sucks, too, because for some films (like The Voyage Home) we got no cast photo, and for almost all of the other ones we where lucky to get one. A few of them got two or even three, but not many… ((Like This? Check Out My Archive and Follow Me!)) |

The cast and creators of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. In addition to Kirk, McCoy, Scotty, Sulu, Chekov and Uhura, we’ve also got director Leonard Nimoy (who technically did not star in the film; he only appeared in the end scenes and was not in the opening credits) producer Ralph Winter, producer Harve Bennett, and Trek overall Creator Gene Roddenberry.

I think Gene Roddenberry looks sad in this photo. But others have disagreed with me, saying it’s just the angle of the shot and such. What do you think? ((Like This? Check Out My Archive and Follow Me!)) |

Did I mention I’ve got Gene Roddenberry’s autograph? It’s pretty beaten up… but… it’s still Gene Roddenberry’s autograph. ((Like This? Check Out My Archive and Follow Me!)) |

This is a tribute video dedicated to Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry that I made back in 2006, for the occasion of what would have been his 85th birthday. Gene’s would-have-been 90th birthday was this year (2011) and today, October 24, marks the 20th anniversary of his death. I’ve often wanted to go back and re-create it. I have so many more pictures of Gene now, and my skills are a bit better likewise. I’m sure I could break up the Shatner narration more and so on. Someday I shall do so. RIP Gene. ((Like This?

I love the subtext of this photo. Just look at the glare Nichelle Nichols (Uhura) is giving Bill Shatner. Look at the neutral yet unhappy expressions on the faces of George Takei and Walter Koenig. The body language of Shatner in the chair, as pseudo-Papa Gene Roddenberry seemingly corrects his star on some thing or another. ((Like This? Check Out My Archive and Follow Me!)) |
