To say the least, star trek questions were numerous, and several of the issues recently debated on this bboard were brought up. 1) Yes, Spock will be back in future movies, although no one at that time had figured out how they were going to do it. 2) Star Trek is a many faceted organization which Gene Roddenberry has only a small say in. Such is what happened with the animated series. Mr. Roddenberry was not involved with this group, and felt that some of the plots that were portrayed were stupid (such as using the transporter to make people young again). For this reason, we believe they will not use this method to "bring spock back". 3) Some other interesting things: Many episodes of Star Trek were anti-(vietnam)-war in nature. In Mr. Roddenberry's own words, "What the network sensors were too stupid to see in our scripts, the public saw." 4) Gene Roddenberry is married to number 1 (from "The Managerie"). this actress later became Nurse Chapel.
