Well watched it in the cinema yesterday before a Skype Q&A with Rod. Really enjoyed it. Looking forward to the DVD with lots of extras coming out. (He's hoping end of summer/autumn this year)

Gene Roddenberry's outlook on humanity is the only thing that gives me hope for our future. I hope he is right.

While I look for jobs

Watching this voyage of discovery

I think I am like the son as I did not get the whole Star Trek thing.

This takes me to my happy place.

Found it! Replaying Sunday at 4am. DVR set.

Nice documentary on Gene Roddenberry and the far reaching influence of Star Trek

It's great to see a religion before it becomes a religion

Thanks, @roddenberry. It's good to see that your father's legacy is in good, caring hands. LLAP

Gene's son tells his side. With a bit of Dr. Phil in it, since he didn't have a blessed childhood relationship with daddy. Great show

Infinite diversity and infinite combinations is what makes the world beautiful.

Grimm is a repeat, so this will do just fine...

"Star Trek is more than a show. It's a philosophy". So very true.

I hope this is what I just watched. Who is Rod? Throughout the whole documentary I watched, he said his name was Eugene. Anyway, when this was over, I got chills. The art of Star Trek really did... more

I hope this is what I just watched. Who is Rod? Throughout the whole documentary I watched, he said his name was Eugene. Anyway, when this was over, I got chills. The art of Star Trek really did create real life (for example the smartphone I'm writing this on). Even the "flip phone" was modeled after TOS. Tablets used on TNG (et al) will be more commonplace within the next five years. Forget Bill & Steve, where would we be now without Gene's vision of the future? Where will we go with it, in the future?

He faced something that I also experienced. You think your Dad will be here forever. My Dad was just gone, same with my Mom. We appreciate too late what we had.

Love. We are better than our petty governments and vision less leaders

Oops, I had checked into something else accidentally. This was taped under Dark Matters and I just happened to get sucked in...

Original this was supposed to be something else, but then I got drawn into this...

I'm only watching this because my other half is a fan ... I guess I'll suffer through this hahaha

Compelling narrative on the father-son dynamic.

do you mean Eugene Roddenberry's Trek Nation? if so, that's what i'm watching.

What's with GetGlue listing "Trek Nation" as "Rod Roddenberry's"? Gene Roddenberry's son who presents this show introduces himself as Eugene Roddenberry!

Gene Roddenberry, in 1986, talking about how cool it would be to see Kirk getting the Enterprise & meeting everyone is eerily cool.

This accidentally recorded instead of Dark Matters, but I can't resist geek documentaries.

Nerding out with my daughter today. Its Daddy Daughter day she said.

Yeah, I was definitely holding back the years on this one.

Tearing up watching everyone talk about how the show has touched their lives. I'm SUCH a DORK!

Finally checkin' this out. Definitely been a fan since I was really little, just not a super fan that knows all the ins & outs.

Trek Nation is a fascinating examination of the dismal relationship b/t a father & a son, set against the backdrop of the vast Star Trek franchise story.

Trek Nation is a fascinating examination of the dismal relationship b/t a father & a son, set against the backdrop of the vast Star Trek franchise story.

This doc about Gene Roddenberry was made after his death by his son who we discover barely knew anything about his father or his great Star Trek legacy. This film reveals Roddenberry as a brilliant, amazing, influential, forward thinking, widely experienced yet personally closed off, sad & disappointing, horribly failed & wildly successful, philosophical & ultimately flawed person. His work brought so many people & ideas together, yet he lived his whole life with a great chasm b/t him & his son.

His son documented his struggle to know & understand the father he barely knew, the reasons behind their lack of relationship, and the depth, breadth, & nature of the legacy he left behind. After several years making this film, he finally came to appreciate & love Star Trek, not only as other fans do, but as a connection to his father he ...
