LONDON (Reuters) - A British fan of the cult TV show "Star Trek" has boldly gone where no man has gone before and created a giant maize maze dedicated to the programme.

Trekkie Tom Pearcy used satellite technology to help him cut the maze in the corn field at his farm near York, northern England, to celebrate 40 years since the show's first episode.

The maze, whose design includes images of character Mr Spock and the USS Enterprise spaceship, used 1.5 million maize plants and claims to be the biggest of its kind in the world.

They could do a Next Generation with the same formula as the original TNG and I would watch... IMHO, it was simply fantastic.

I think Spock is in the upper right hand portion of the pix and I THINK that's Picard in the lower portion, isn't it?

Yep, looks like Picard and a Borg cube ship. So it's celebrating both the original and Next Generation (which have been the two best, and arguably the only real, Treks).

That's quite a piece of work.
