I noticed that too. Then again, a lot of sci-fi these days is highly derivative.

@6 You’re probably right. Actually, someone directed me to a more recent trailer for the documentary after I posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRwqKzOqWLk
Looks great!

@5 Are you thinking someting along the lines of “acorn doesn’t fall far from tree”? I think Majel’s passing away probably had a major part in delaying its release. At least, that would be my understandable guess.

Doh! It was called “Magna I”…not “Magnus”…

I’d really like to see some kind of interpretation of Roddenberry’s Magnus I underwater series idea. This one is something Roddenberry used to talk about in Starlog back in the 70s but I never see any other references to it.

I’d be curious to know how far he got with the concept…and I’d like to see something done with it.

Rod…if you’re out there, maybe you could shed some light on Magnus I…??

Does anyone know what happened to the “Trek Nation” documentary Roddenberry was making? http://www.treknationmovie.com/ Used to have the trailer up, but all it’s said for the last few months is “coming 2009″…

Sucks that days on Earth don’t have a start or finish… the Sun never stops shining, it’s always somewhere on Earth. No matter where you are, it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, it’s Miller Time somewhere…

Just a bit of a wrench in the story, because someone somewhere would have to be awake at the moment the day wraps around. As if everyone went to bed after Conan/Leno/Carson, etc… What happens to the awake people when this “reset button” gets pushed?

Sorry, but that strikes me as a fatal flaw to this storyline. Rod Serling, oh I miss you.

Is it just me or does this character resemble Dr. Who a bit? Still, looks like it’s worth checking out.
