Yesterday, six students from my “Folklore and Star Trek” class joined me for the 2-hour drive to Louisville to see Star Trek: The Exhibition. The exhibit contained props, costumes, and replicas from the show, including a captain’s chair. Although my students enjoyed the exhibit, I was a bit perturbed by certain aspects. The exhibit was sponsored by AT&T and they kept plugging their products throughout, emphasizing that AT&T devices were headed the way to Star Trek technology. And of course, no photos were allowed so that the exhibit could change for a picture in the captain’s chair. The capitalistic aspects went against the ideals of the show, and left me indifferent toward the exhibit.
