As part of our coverage of Star Trek's 50th aiversary, I talked with a dozen cast members from across the franchise about everything from Star Trek's inclusive message to how it feels to be a sex symbol to nerds.

But she'd also heard the shows had a history of stymieing some actor's careers. ...

Got a Star Trek story? Maybe, like me, you dressed in starship captain uniforms for Halloween and snuck into the family room past your bedtime to watch reruns, no matter how tired you'd be the next day at school. Or maybe you never watched Star Trek, but you still know the difference between Klingons and Romulans. At the very least, you probably know how to separate your fingers into the iconic Vulcan salute and offer up a "Live long and prosper." With the Star Trek franchise tuing 50 on September 8, I asked a dozen cast members from six of Star Trek's TV shows and movies, including Zoe Saldana, Gates McFadden and Jeri Ryan, to share their stories. During t...

ESA/Hubble & NASA, Y. Chu When some stars die, they die gloriously, exploding in a dazzling supeova and leaving behind glowing gas and dust to mark its passing.
