In celebration of what would have been Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry's 100th Birthday, Roddenberry Entertainment has found a fitting way to honor him. Besides selling special merchandise, the company launched Thinktrek and by extension #talktrek which includes 100 days of Gene Roddenberry quotes and daily videos from actors and notable fans. FlickDirect's Allison Rose spoke with CEO Eugene "Rod" Roddenberry about the initiative, his father, and Star Trek Fans.
