If you have ever watched Star Trek, you already know what the Prime Directive is. General Order One. As Kirk describes it in The Original Series episode, “Bread and Circuses,” the order decrees Starfleet crews should make “No identification of self or mission; no interference with the social development of said planet; no references to space, other worlds, or advanced civilizations.”
Of course, there’s a bit more to it than that. According to one episode of Voyager, the Prime Directive contains 47 sub-orders, including more than a few loopholes that have been exploited over the years, but the gist of it is, if a civilization has not yet developed warp travel, Starfleet is to treat their planet like a nature reserve, to be observed but never interfered with.
“I think of the Prime Directive as having two components,” says Robin Wasserman, who has written two episodes of Strange New Worlds.

HollywoodNews.com: For those Harry Potter fans who are already going through Ppd (Post-Potter Depression) after this past weekend’s Infinitus, or those who have always wanted to attend a Harry Potter fan conference but haven’t been able to, here’s your chance.
LeakyCon 2011, the next Hp convention hosted by popular fan site The Leaky Cauldron, is now open for registration. The conference will be held July 13-17, 2011, which not-so-coincidentally is the same weekend that the very final Harry Potter movie will be released in theaters. What better way to close out the saga than with a few hundred fellow Potterholics?
As as added bonus, LeakyCon will also feature the first ever LeakyCon Lit Day, which will bring together fans with some notable names in the Young Adult Literature World, such as John Green (Looking For Alaska), Scott Westerfeld (Uglies series) and Robin Wasserman (Skinned), among others.
