Some things are part of the human’s race history and really need to receive much more attention than we actually give them. So even if that means we might have to educate you guys a little more from our ForeverGeek HQ, then we will.

Let’s start today with a little quiz.

If I say Star Trek, you say?
No, not Spock! Of course Spock is ace, but Star Trek wasn’t just Spock, right. Let’s try this again.

If I say Star Trek, you say?
*sigh* I should have known you were all going to answer ‘Scottie, beam me up’. How could I have been this naive. Ok, let’s try it differently.

If I say Gene Roddenberry, you say?
‘STAR TREK!’

Finally. Now we’re getting somewhere.

Now if I say Rod Roddenberry, you say?
‘Uh?!’ That’s exactly what I thought. Of course the name Roddenberry rang more than a little bell in my head, but Rod?

So it appears that Rod Roddenberry Gene’s son is. And for some years already he has been working on Trek Nation, a documentary about Star Trek and his father.
