William Shatner revealed to SCI FI Wire that the upcoming 11th Star Trek movie will indeed, as rumored, deal with the early years of Capt. James T. Kirk and Spock—and that he will definitely appear in the movie if director J.J. Abrams can find a place to use him. Shatner, who originated the role of Kirk in the original Trek series and several subsequent films, said in an interview that he was invited to meet with
Abrams (Mission: Impossible III), who is also co-writing the movie.

“I met with J.J., and they told me they would like me to be part of their film, but they have to write the role,” Shatner said in an interview promoting his new SCI FI Channel film, Alien Fire.

This is an easter egg on the Season 5 DVD set, and someone actually had it on . It’s the Captain’s tribute song to Gene Roddenberry, and one of the funniest Picard moments you’ll ever see!

on september 8th 1966 at 8:30 pm (et), “the man trap” was aired on nbc.

It was the new television season, just like any other, and NBC was about to debut their new science fiction show. That in itself wasn’t a novel idea: CBS had Lost in Space, ABC had contemporary shows like The Time Tunnel and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. It was pretty standard that networks had something on the air that fell into the general category of science fiction. And while these other shows had their own quaint charms, they lasted a few seasons and mostly drifted off into memory, and later syndication. (The other one-hour drama that every network had was a Western; NBC already had a bona fide hit in Bonanza and CBS, with Wild Wild West, neatly combined the Western with sci-fi.)
