The Science of Star Trek Is Star Trek really a science show, or just a lot of "gee, whiz" nonsensical Sci-Fi? Could people really DO the fantastic things they do on the original Star Trek and later programs in the series, or is it all just hi-tech fantasy for people who can't face reality? Will the real world come to resemble the world of unlimited power for people to travel about the Galaxy in luxurious, gigantic ships, and meet exotic alien beings as equals? Well, as for the science in Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry and the writers of the show have started with science we know and s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d it to fit a framework of amazing inventions that support action-filled and entertaining stories.

The writers of the show are not scientists, so they do sometimes get science details wrong. Write for Star Trek. Write for Star Trek You too can sell a script to the most influential TV show in the world - if you know the formula. By Jeff Greenwald Let's pretend it's your job to watch Star Trek.

You've got to sit through every episode ever created - the 80 produced for the original series, seven seasons of The Next Generation, and the latest episodes of Voyager and Deep Space Nine. Working 9 to 5, five days a week (holidays off), you'd be punching a clock for 10 weeks - until mid-March. Still going strong with more than 400 hours in the can, Star Trek is an insatiable maw that devours scripts and eats story pitches like popcorn.
What sets Star Trek apart from its classic TV counterparts is, of course, its otherworldly venue. What this means is that any of the program's far-flung fans - from Cyndi Lauper to the Dalai Lama - can pitch ideas to the producers and dream of seeing their name in lights. That's the good news.
