Cheesy....campy.....but great concepts behind it. Some trivia at-hand:
Capt. James T. Kirk and Chief Engineer M. Scott are Canadians (YAY!)
Ensign Pavel Chekhov was forced to wear an insipid wig, to rope in the "Davey Jones" demographic.
Lt. Uhuru was going to quit the series....but was talked out of it by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Yeoman Janice Rand was released after the first season, because of substance abuse.
The series featured televisions' first inter-racial kiss, between Kirk and Uhuru.
The Enterprise's propulsion system was what the show called a "matter/antimatter drive" capability; Several years ago, scientists accepted the existence of "anti-matter".
"Warp speed" is not so much a concept of a vessel moving at extreme speeds, as it is the vessel ITSELF bending and folding the "space" around it, at a tremendous rate.
The technological possibility of molecular disintegration/re-integration as a means of transportation ( the act of "beaming") is approximately 80-90 years distant.
The series' producers were, at one time, under investigation.....by U.S. Naval Intelligence. Apparently, they were curious at to how the writers came up with the idea of those monitors in McCoys sick bay, because they were currently working on the same thing.
The character of Ensign Chekhov was introduced in the second season, because of not only trying to get the "Monkees" teeny-bopper crew on board....but also because the Soviet Embassy raised a stink about how there were no Russians onboard a 23rd century starship.
One of the most memorable Klingons featured on the show was Commander Kang.......played by John Colicos, a Canadian (YAY!) from Toronto (his family still lives in the same house, about 40 minutes from me).
The biggest guest star they ever had on that series, was Joan Collins (sorry, but I think she STILL looks good).
I don't know about the beaming thing. The way teleportation is heading now, the target object is destroyed while an exact duplicate is assembled elsewhere. That would mean every time you teleport, you die, while some other thing that thinks it's you takes your place. Nobody in their right mind would ever undergo such a process. In star trek they destroyed you and then reassembled you from the same matter, but is that any different?
According to the idea that "Trek" envisioned, they were able to break down a living organism at the molecular level, and reassemble it at another location, intact....and ALIVE....and whole, usually across a vast distance.
Remember Einsteins basic law of physics? Matter can niether be created or "destroyed"....just changed.
I wish they would make more westerns, just watched 310 to Yuma (remake) it was excellent, russell crow(sp) was a great cowboy. it's on vid.
when I was in college in the 60 we had parties just to watch the Enterprise, at the time it was the best TV. Now not much, I watch the sox, 2 1/2 men, Dexter(on showtime not the network f*k-up version, and some of the com-centra stuff,,,,,,,,
Just saw "The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford", with Brad Pitt. Great flick. "Yuma" was good, too.
The only shows I even make an attempt to watch on TV these days, is "Lost" and "Battlestar Galactica".
Plus, I NEVER get tired of watching ANY of Eastwood's "spaghetti westerns".
"Trek" was a product of its time, though. That entire franchise has been in existence longer then the yearly Super Bowl event, so I guess that's something to be said.
what's the matter man, you seem upset, having a problem posting? It takes many inappropriates to block out a post, so many must not like what you say. Could it be you call someone asshole, f*king moron, a bit too much and don't have a thing worth reading? Maybe it's because your mother doesn't like you either, or your meds need adjustment, or all of the above.
Stay happy qlane,LOL
I've said this before, I don't delete any's comments, I not sure anyone person can, maybe glum should take away the inapp button. I think qlanes a bit funny, I like screwing with him, and he's never boring. Personal attacks can't hurt, as long as stick&stones aren't on the web I think we're all safe.
Note to Bbone, think about what you've been through with the accident, shit the other stuff is all down hill :)
qlane you are an imposter, (duh) what do you think the imposterkiller hero goes after here (duh) take an hour or two and think about it (duh) and maybe you can think up another "name" that wont make you an imposter (duh) You won't be picked on anymore (unless you keep up with the 2nd grade boy talk) or better yet go out with a lighter and see if your fuel level is low in your moped (duh)
Next week is fishing time on the Salmon in NY, steelies are running, hope to have some good photos. Man do I need out of the office, away from the phones, computer, and my dep dir.
LOL had to find a way to segway into what I just saw, coming home for lunch (which I now don't have an appetite for) I look over to see them carting out of an Ann Arbor city park a well done crispy burnt up human, couldn't even tell the sex or race, looked to be still alive...that has to hurt! News a 11:00 I guess!
Thanx web, poor dude, he was really messed up! I can't imagine being burned up like that and no accelerants! What the hell, he must of spontaneously combusted! Wonder if his name was Jim? Maybe it was a teleportation confunkulation.
qlane don't you have a job? or are in a location that would make you out of work by this time of day? I on the other hand am working, hehe, and being paid well too.
qlane, you're a moron.....as evidenced by the proper description....
Moron was originally an English scientific term, coined in 1910 by psychologist Henry H. Goddard from the Greek word moros, which meant "dull" (as opposed to "sharp"), and used to describe a person with a mental age located between eight and 12 on the Binet scale. It was once applied to people with an IQ of 51-70, being superior in one degree to "imbecile" (IQ of 26-50) and superior in two degrees to "idiot" (IQ of 0-25). The word moron, along with others including "retarded", "idiotic", "imbecilic", "stupid", and "feeble-minded", was formerly considered a valid descriptor in the psychological community, though these words have all now passed into common slang use, exclusively in a detrimental context.
qlanet is just lonely, he can't REACH out without being sure of the 1st punch. I would guess his Dad didn't give him the model needed to grow and therefore has arrested developement, maybe 13.
I think someone's getting into the store, back to work.
Qlanet should be lonely. He sits and waits for the paperboy, not much to do. He watches the woman next door and plays with himself, or is that the paperboy ~0^
A wealthy woman was on a photo safari in Africa, she had taken her faithful and very old aged poodle named Cuddles alond for company.
One day the poodle started chasing butterflies and before long was lost.
Wandering about chuddles noticed a leopard coming his way with intentions of having him for lunch.
The old poodle thinking fast notice a pile of bones nearby and sat in the pile with his back to the leopard.
Just as the leopard jumped at him he stood up and said dame those leopard taste good, I want another one.
The leopard stopped in mid attack, fell to the ground and said "man I was lucky, he may have made me his next meal"
The leopard ran off.
meanwhile a monkey who was watching this whole thing came up with a way to stay safe from the leopard's attacks. He found the leopard and told him what the poodle did.
The leopard agreeded to never attack the monkey again and of they went to find the poodle.
The leopard was furious at being made a fool and intented to eat that poodle.
As they approched ,the poodle notice the monkey had given the leopard the word on his trick.
thinking for a moment he sat in the bones and as the leopard & monkey came up behind him he said" where's that damn monkey? I sent him an hour ago to bring me another leopard!
Moral of this story,,,
Don't mess with old farts, age & treachery will always overcome youth & skill
Oh no you di-int! They did NOT just make fun of Star Trek! LOL!. Love that show, back then, now. Although, like Canuck, I did manage to acquire employment, move out of my parents house, marry, have children, by all appearances quite normal. I was a high functioning addict.
