Star Trek, Behind The Scenes

Notable parodies of Star Trek include the Star Wreck movie series, the internet-based cartoon series Stone Trek, the Star Wreck novel series, the song "Star Trekkin'" by The Firm, the song "Starship Edelweiss" by Austrian band Edelweiss, the feature film Galaxy Quest, an episode of Futurama called "Where No Fan Has Gone Before," which featured several characters from the original series, and the episode of Family Guy titled "Not All Dogs Go to Heaven" which featured the entire cast of Star Trek The Next Generation; a short skit in an episode of Stargate SG-1, a famous sketch on Saturday Night Live entitled "The Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise", with John Belushi as Kirk, Chevy Chase as Spock and Dan Ackroyd as McCoy, as well as an episode of The Simpsons titled "Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie," which featured some of the cast of the original Star Trek television series; an Animaniacs episode entitled Star Truck featuring the cast of Star Trek The Original Series. The news satire site The Onion created a Star Trek XI based clip just before the release of the film. An adaptation by Jon Mullich of Gilbert & Sullivan's H.M.S. Pinafore that sets the operetta in the world of Star Trek has played in Los Angeles and was attended by series luminaries Nichelle Nichols, D.C. Fontana and David Gerrold.
Awards and honors
Of the various science-fiction awards given for drama, only the Hugo Award dates back as far as the original series. Although the Hugo is mainly given for print-media science-fiction, its "best drama" award is usually given to film or television presentations. The Hugo does not give out awards for best actor, director, or other aspects of film production. Prior to 2002, films and television shows competed for the same Hugo, before the split of the drama award into short drama and long drama. In 1968, all five nominees for a Hugo award were individual episodes of Star Trek, as were three of the five nominees in 1967 (the other two being the films Fahrenheit 451 and Fantastic Voyage). The only Star Trek series to not get even a Hugo nomination are the animated series and Voyager, though only the original series and Next Generation ever actually won the award. No Star Trek film has ever won a Hugo, though a few were nominated. In 2008, the fan made episode of Star Trek: New Voyages entitled "World Enough and Time" was nominated for the Hugo for Best Short Drama, where it competed with professional episodes from shows such as Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica.
