The 30th century will be meeting ... well, the Star Trek universe.

Fox Television's "Futurama," which featured the talking head of Leonard Nimoy (Spock, "Star Trek") in its series premiere, will be dealing with Star Trek during its fourth season.

"A good number of the original 'Star Trek' cast will be involved," said David Cohen, executive producer of the Matt Groenig series. "The story revolves around the cult of Star Trek that grew into its own religion around the 23rd century and became too powerfil in the coming centuries. The world leaders -- Jimmy Carter's head and the Space Pope -- grew fearful of its power and banned all Star Trek viewing. All tapes were destroyed and launched to a forbidden planet.

"Now the entire original cast has disappeared, except for Leonard Nimoy, whose head remains in the dead museum, so Fry is determined to bring back this great thing he lvoes and sets off on an adventure to do that."
