Give Dad the Ultimate Gift for Father’s Day – STAR TREK

I’ve never really watched STAR TREK – then again, I did grow up in a house full of girls. My husband, however, grew up watching it and loved it. He knew all about Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock, and their crew on the Starship Enterprise. Once I watched the show, I started to understand a little more.

If you are looking for the ultimate gift for Father’s Day, you’re just in time! On May 12th, some awesome DVDs were released, including: “THE BEST OF STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES,” “THE BEST OF STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION,” and the “STAR TREK MOTION PICTURE TRILOGY.” The dad (or man) in your life will go nuts over this fabulous gift!
