Star Trek

So, like others, I have never watched Star Trek, I have always been a Star Wars fan. From the start of this reading, it's thrown out that Star Trek was influenced by the Cold War, and Shakespeare. But what had me thinking was "the end of history" that was thrown in; that history had stopped around the 19th century or in that time. I think that's ridiculous, history has never stopped and never will until there are no more living things to have a history of. I'm not sure whether they were referencing something to the show or what but the idea of history stopping is very odd. I do wish that the article would have given more of a background of the show before going into the main points of the reading. Overall, I think the writers of Star Trek mirroring the Cold War was a very effective way to get a story line.

    I agree with Adam, your point about "the end of history" was a good one.
