Test Your TREK Knowledge!

... In these four quizzes from the Eighties and Nineties.
The one above is from OK Magazine, dated January 30, 1983.
This one is from the November 29, 1983 Weekly World News.
Ok Star Spotters, this one's from Star's issue dated February 26, 1991.
The last one is likewise from Star mag, November 17, 1991.

For me, all the questions are answerable.  In the olden days of such magazines, it was possible to know nearly everything about Star Trek, because there were only one or two manifestations!

How did you do?  See you Monday, fellow wise ones!

Two Views of the Shat

The first article is from the June 17, 1982 Tulsa World.
How insightful to guess that fans might demand another TREK movie!  That was catty of me, I know.  Forty years of TREK domination have made the franchise's survival seem inevitable in hindsight.  Well, it weren't!
The above article is from the Bartlesville, OK Examiner-Enterprise of July 18, 1982.  While I wouldn't have called Captain Kirk a galactic policeman, you could make the argument that TJ Hooker was at least a philosophical ancestor to Starfleet types.

See you Thursday with more gleanings!
