Why does "Star Trek" have such a colossal appeal? Each richly nuanced episode, and every movie, calls to us on numerous levels simultaneously. The series was the first sci-fi show to treat the adventure of space exploration as a serious matter, going far beyond the earlier kids' shows. Like the best sci-fi novels, it brought together dramatic action, exciting predictions of breakthroughs in science and technology, and social concerns as well.
