These brave patriots insured the episode quantity for syndication, securing the Trek Legacy for decades to come..

These, the unsung heroes.

That was back in the day when a grass roots campaign actually had some sway. Too bad that kind of thing doesn't work anymore.

Power to the people (Trekkies) !

I never knew that either. That's awesome!

(Is it just me, or were geeks a lot cooler looking back then?)

Wish I could lead a protest to bring back Firefly. :D

I love that this worked for them and gave us all these years of new Trek series and movies.

It worked for Cagney & Lacey.
