Overview
Wagon train to the stars, canceled after three seasons, then the most successful failure in tv history. Kirk, Spock, and a multiracial bridge crew of the 23rd century aired the first interracial kiss on American television. Cancellation begat syndication, syndication begat conventions, conventions begat a franchise of films and series. Infinite diversity in infinite combinations. The show that taught fandom its power.
