Today marks the 40th anniversary of the airing of “The Man Trap”, the first aired episode of the original Star Trek. It aired right after Daniel Boone on NBC. Ironically, Star Trek is now owned by CBS. I’m not aware of anything planned for tonight…please post if you do. There is more info about the re-rendering of the original special effects – notably the opening – for the 40th anniversary syndication edition on SCI FI Wire, which should begin airing on local stations on Sept. 16th.

Again, for a limited time, you can download the Season 3 trailer (5MB, WMV) for Battlestar Galactica. Be kind – please only download once and save, send it to friends, etc. Update: Link removed.
