WE’RE SORRY : Trekkies, Thank You

The cards and letters and faxes came pouring in . . .

Last Sunday in an item in Film Clips about the next “Star Trek” movie, we boldly went where we shouldn’t have gone. We said that there has been only one mention of the original TV series “Star Trek” on the new series, “Star Trek: The Next Generation.”

This was warped, as we quickly learned.

There have been at least two other cases: Actor DeForest Kelley--Dr. McCoy in the original series--played an elderly doctor in a “Next Generation” episode, and Spock’s father was the central figure in another episode.
