Turkey dinner with all the trimmings or dining on synthetic meatloaf from a high tech device? Decisions…
When you’re many light years from your home planet, settling on eating fake meat for a Holiday dinner may be your only option. For Captain Kirk’s (William Shatner) crew on his USS Enterprise, a powerful human gifted with alien powers does the deciding for them and promptly whips up some real turkeys.
The problem: the young man who’s the turkey feast founder is just a wee bit of a psychopath.
And so it goes at faster than light speed in Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry’s galactic universe of sci-fi, a well known, practiced and beloved tradition like Thanksgiving is acknowledged with a memorable twist, indeed. C’mon let’s talk turkey among the stars as turkey trek explores our friendly holiday of giving thanks.
