Star Trek was more than a Sci Fi series (argueably, it is not even a Sci Fi series; more of a Space Opera - Outer Limits was a true Sci Fi show), it was a visionary series. There were other, prior cosmopolitan, multi-racial shows, but Star Trek did it well and took it to a new level. Star Trek showed us a vision, not of space travel, but of cooperation and harmony. Whether you by Roddenberry's vision or not, it is a compelling portrayal of such a society. There are many shows which advance the state of the art when they are released, but do not look as well when looked back upon. Star Trek TOS was head and shoulders above anything else available in its genre at the time; but even compared to its own offspring it pales today. This series was ahead of its time in many ways, not the least of which was the cost of doing FX. Star Trek TOS effects seem cheesy compared to modern effects. They in fact cost much more, which was a major factor in the show's cancellation. Every effect in ST TOS was processed optically, one frame at a time. By ST TNG, cheap computers were available to handle the load. The characterizations are weak, and the central one of James T. Kirk is unrealistic. Good for the day, but expectations have changed. 10 for breaking ground 10 for vision 8 for nostalgic rewatching 5 for a modern viewer who has seen an offspring ST series "Dammit Jim, I'm a reviewer, not a doctor."
I started watching reruns in the 70's every afternoon. Star Trek would come on around 5:00pm and run a single episode, Mon through Fri. I could never get enough. I even started to watch the animated series on Saturday. However after watching them several dozen times on Netflix I have been finding too many plot inconsistencies and mistakes with the logic of the shows. Some are still solid and hold special meaning for me. The other episodes are no longer valid and I can't stand watching them. I enjoy the themes that the original scripts bring to the screen and that the show attacked stereotypes and problems of that era. I enjoyed Spock as my most favorite character. He brought the show together for me. The more he was a part of an episode, the more I enjoyed it. The technology was fun to watch also. Many of the episodes featured state of the art, original Sci-fi props and ideas. It is amazing how much this show has influenced other Sci-fi shows and movies. It is almost like Star Trek is the grandfather of Sci-fi. Overall I still enjoy the series but I had to stop watching them. I think I overdosed on them. I'll shelf them for another couple of years and go back to enjoy them again.

The Vulcan hand salute was improvised by Nimoy on the set of "Amok Time." As a child, his religious Jewish parents often took Nimoy to the local synagogue where he had seen people making this hand gesture while saying prayers--a handsign done with both hands by the descendants of Aaron (called cohen, plural cohanim) when the congregation of a Jewish synagogue is being blessed with the "May the Lord bless you and keep you." This inspired Nimoy to create the Vulcan hand salute. It takes place in the 23rd Century, the original pilot episode titled "The Cage" takes place in 2254 A.D. while the rest of the series takes place from the years 2266-2269 A.D. The "T" stands for Tiberius therefore his full name is James Tiberius Kirk. Yes and according to the late Gene Roddenberry, in 1966 before the second Star Trek pilot, Where No Man Has Gone Before had aired. Network executives were concerned about Spock having pointy ears because the shape made him appear to look "too diabolical and Satanic looking." And along with their other request that the Enterprise not have a woman as second in command. And at the time actress Majel Barrett was dating Mr. Roddenberry so he was able to work out a comprise much to everybody's satisfaction. He said, "so I married the woman and kept the alien because I could not have done it the other way around." He worked in summer stock theater. In 1969 after learning of ST Trek: TOS's cancellation, Shatner was in somewhat of a dire financial situation due to his then wife's filing for divorce and being suddenly unemployed. He contacted his agent who got him work in summer stock theater for the next few months and he bought a used pickup truck with camper shell attached. The sudden reality of no income, bills, his impending divorce and being low on funds made him realize that he couldn't afford even economy style motels while working. He then set off driving to each and every location to work as a cast member in Some Like It Hot and the truck with camper shell actually paid off in the long run. He lived this way from memorial day weekend up through labor day weekend that year when his summer job ended. And from then on William Shatner was able to keep busy as an actor working steadily in various prime time television shows which paid well and he was able to stay afloat financially. a5c7b9f00b
