In the rarely-used lyrics for Alexander Courage's original "Star Trek" theme song — lyrics which were written by Gene Roddenberry so he could say he co-wrote the song and leech off half the royalties — a plaintive lover coos, "Beyond the rim of the star-light, my love is wand'ring in star-flight."
Frankly, the lyrics to the "Star Trek" theme song are extremely corny and have little, if anything, to do with "Star Trek," unless the show was secretly being told from the perspective of Captain Kirk's girlfriend, who he left behind in Iowa. But in their schmaltziness there lies a glimmer of something real, the start of a discussion about the way those old scientists were on an emotional as well as literal journey. Surrounded by stars, nevertheless in a void.

Exclusive: A second major transatlantic drama series on the Lockerbie bombing terror attack is in the works — this time at the BBC and Netflix.
The British broadcaster and U.S. streamer will co-produce Lockerbie, a factual drama that will explore the joint investigation into the 1988 disaster by Scottish and American authorities.
Pan Am Flight 103 was en route from Heathrow to JFK when a bomb exploded in its hold over the small Scottish town of Lockerbie, killing 270 people. It was the worst terror attack ever on British soil.
Line of Duty producer World Productions is making the six-part series in association with MGM Television and Night Train Media. It was developed by MGM and Night Train alongside filmmaker Adam Morane-Griffiths, who initially brought the project to the partners alongside Sara Curran back in 2020.
The BBC and Netflix commission comes more than a year after Sky and Peacock came together to greenlight a separate series,...

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds was a highly anticipated addition to the Star Trek franchise, and the first season of the show has certainly lived up to expectations. The show brings back the iconic characters of Captain Christopher Pike (Anson Mount), Science Officer Spock (Ethan Peck), and Number One (Rebecca Romijn) from the original series, and explores their adventures aboard the USS Enterprise.
One of the most striking things about Strange New Worlds is its commitment to capturing the spirit of the original Star Trek series. From the opening theme music to the brightly colored uniforms, every aspect of the show feels like a loving tribute to the franchise’s roots. The production design is particularly impressive, with the sets and costumes capturing the aesthetic of the 1960s while also feeling modern and updated.

Throughout “Star Trek’s” long 56-year history, the Starship Enterprise has been designed, redesigned, reimagined, blown to smithereens and then reimagined again for the various TV incarnations and feature films based on the classic series created by Gene Roddenberry.
But for the prequel series “Strange New Worlds,” which recently concluded its highly-praised first season, the responsibility to get the Enterprise just right was not lost on production designer Jonathan Lee. This was, after all, the Enterprise that was commanded by Captain Christopher Pike (played by Anson Mount), which was the immediate predecessor of the Enterprise that Captain James T. Kirk first made famous back in 1966 with “The Original Series.”
“We were all of the mind that the Enterprise is a star of the show,” Lee explains. “It’s a major player. It’s an actor, really. It’s not a weapon of war. It’s one when it has to be,...
