The third annual Trek Talks online fundraiser was a rousing success, raising more than $100,000 for the Hollywood Food Coalition. About half of that total came from Rod Roddenberry and the foundation established in honor of his father -- and creator of Star Trek -- Gene Roddenberry. However, the rest of that money was raised by just 500 or so fans of this expansive universe, showing the effect this dream of a compassionate and curious future has on the real world. Even though a number of Star Trek: The Original Series episodes aged poorly, the legacy of this series is the one Gene Roddenberry hoped it would have.
