Here's to the future of Star Trek: Phase II.
As a great Captain once said, "Some people think the future means the end of history, but we haven't run out of history just yet.' he then quoted a great Klingon Chancellor who referred to the future as the 'undiscovered country,' saying that the Chancellor thought the undiscovered country might mean something else -another kin of life. That great Captain continued on by saying that, "People can be very frightened of change.To them and their posterity will we commit our future. They will continue the voyages we have begun and journey to ALL the undiscovered countries, boldly going where no man has gone before."
I hope nobody takes offense to this, but I am sure that in the beginning, people were not quite sure what to make of Phase II and I am sure that everyone in Phase II weren't quite sure what would come of it, but hoping for greatness. Phase II has not only reached greatness, but has exceeded it and continues to do so every day.
Phase II was based on what The Original Series laid the framework for long ago and it keeps us happily remembering what hopefully will never be forgotten. It may take time for all the finer handiwork to fall into place, as Patty referred to having 'lots in the works', but it will eventually get there and the end result will definitely be worth the wait, as has happened already.
May Phase II's family and work grow exponentially in the coming times and may the 'family' continue to do an extraordinarily fascinating job of 'continuing the voyages we have begun and journey to ALL the undiscovered countries' one step at a time. When I think of Star Trek Phase II, I think of an infamous quote that was said at the conclusion of the 'Star Trek: Enterprise' series by three great Captains (Picard, Kirk, and Archer) , all of whom undertook their own journeys with things always in the works. That quote is as follows, "Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, To boldly go where no man has gone before.".
This journey is always in the works thanks to Phase II and I hope, as it has been, that it continues to be a memorable journey of many precious souls working together to accomplish a single purpose..
