I am in a country where Star Trek is almost completely unknown.
Astounding, but true.
Oh, some of the more recent TV incarnations are now available on pirated DVDs, but I think they are purchased exclusively by the many foreigners here. Pirated versions of the films are mysteriously rare-as-hen's-teeth. The original, iconic '60s TV show simply does not exist here.
I think they are missing out on something important. I mean, I'm not a huge fan myself, certainly not a 'Trekkie', but... it is surely the single most important pop cultural landmark of our times... and, in its strongly ethical underpinnings, a general force for good, for enlightenment in the world.
