Where No One Has Gone Before!

Tonight on Late Night Stream I embrace my inner geek!  Star Trek is one of my favorite series of all time.  From tonight's TV Spotlight - Star Trek: The Original Series to my Movie Spotlight - 2009's Star Trek this creation of Gene Roddenberry not only pushed cultural boundaries it made us really imagine "What's out there?"  One of my favorite memories as a child was sitting on my Grandpa's lap watching Star Trek: The Next Generation.  And while some of the scenes are just laughably campy, many others are pure Sci-fi gold.

All the TV show streams will be available free on their networks website, and the movies will be available from Netflix streaming. I do not endorse or advocate illegal streams or downloads.

Television

Star Trek - startrek.com

The series that started it all.  While there were other Sci-Fi series during the 60's, no other show has had nearly as much cultural impact or had anywhere near the following of Star Trek.  This is the show that gave us our first on screen interracial kiss as well as one of the first Asians to have a major role in a network series. (George Takei - Sulu).  While you may not agree with everything in the show...you must admit it gives humanity something to aspire to.

I have to mention if you are Netflix subscriber - every single episode of every single Star Trek show is available to stream.  ST: TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise, and yes...even the animated series! If not, you can still watch all 3 seasons of the original series as well as Enterprise and the animated series on strartrek.com.

Netflix Movie Spotlight

In 2009 Sci-Fi geeks and Trekkies worldwide were treated to the newest Star Trek movie.  Featuring an all new cast taking over the familiar roles of the original series this movie from J.J. Abrams had something for every fan of science fiction movies.  From time travel to huge explosions to half naked green alien females there was something for everyone.  While it's not Shatner and Nimoy, Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto do a great job of reinventing the familiar characters.

Netflix streaming services are only $7.99 per month and you receive so much programming between Movies and TV shows it's a great bang for your buck.  (It works out to .26 cents a day)  If you don't already subscribe you can sign up HERE.
