In other news, in celebration of Star Trek’s 50th anniversary, Paramount has just booted Roberto Orci from the director’s chair of the next Star Trek film. “Angels and ministers of grace, defend us!”/”Thank pitchforks and pointed ears!”.
wow, for a one off spread of the show from a major network publication (the original network of premier). sounds like they want the franchise back again for a new run of all the series on their channel.
Who WROTE this thing? There are some serious errors in it.
For example, the inside back cover says that Lawrence Montaigne was originally considered for the role of Spock before Leonard Nimoy decided to leave “Mission: Impossible” for “Star Trek.”
Say WHAT? “Star Trek” ran from 1966 – 1969; Leonard Nimoy was on “Mission: Impossible” from 1969 – 1971. In other words, it’s completely impossible for him to have left “Mission: Impossible” for “Star Trek” because he was on “Mission: Impossible” AFTER “Star Trek.”
Sheesh. I won’t believe anything I read in this thing. The pictures are pretty, though.
This issue was so full of errors that there’s a post on Star Trek Fact Check pointing out a whole host of mistakes … and even that doesn’t mention them all. You can read it at http://startrekfactcheck.blogspot.com/2014/12/fact-check-cbs-watch-magazine-star-trek.html
Star Trek was originally on NBC; this publication is from CBS.
The rights to all of Star Trek were owned by Paramount, which was bought by Viacom. Later, Viacom split into two, and the rights split with it; Paramount retained the rights to MOVIE Trek, but CBS inherited the rights to TV Trek.
