Television stationery, 3 pages, 11 x 8½ in., Burbank, California, Mar. 9, 1973. Written to Miss Judy Thomases, answering questions she had posed about "Star Trek." in part: "The profile of our fans run anything but typical. They range from grammar school children to university presidents and astronauts. I think the one thing that characterizes all of them…is youth. It is important to the typical STAR TREK fan that there is a tomorrow. Also, I think they…share the STAR TREK philosophies about life, the fact it is wrong to interfere in the evolvement of other peoples, that to be different is not necessarily to be wrong or ugly….they are interested mainly in the ideas promoted by STAR TREK rather than…having a crush for some particular actor. STAR TREK fans are generally anything but silly…we…are particularly delighted when some aspect of STAR TREK has been important in their lives such as incouraging [sic] them to continue their education or learn to participate fully in the world about them or believe in the dignity and value of life everywhere….STAR TREK says that it has not all happened, it has not all been discovered, that tomorrow can be as challenging and adventurous as any time man has ever lived. ….it is interesting that STAR TREK cam [sic] along at a time that the nation was becoming deeply involved in Vietnam and STAR TREK very strongly spoke against this by dramatically illustrating why it is wrong to interfere with other people, why other cultures can be equal and better to leave alone, why it is wrong to kill for any reason what-so-ever. We did think Spoke [sic] became very interesting to fans, I did purposely give him a slight look of the 'devil' because I thought that might be particularly provocative to women, particularly when his nature contrasted so greatly to this…." He goes on to discuss television demographics and advertising, why he withdrew from the show during the third season, and adds, "STAR TREK had no 'magic formula' unless you consider respect for the audience and hard work a formula….I would love to see STAR TREK revived under the proper conditions…." Accompanied by the transmittal envelope. "Star Trek" has had an enormous impact on popular culture through syndication of the original series and through the related series and feature films which followed.
