In 1966 Gene Roddenberry's vision of the future of our Earth and space travel was realized when the television series Star Trek first aired on NBC. Set in the 23rd century, circa 2278, Earth is now a member of an intergalactic alliance called the United Federation Of Planets, and employs a fleet of starships, manned by uniformed officers and enlisted,both human and alien, to operate them. The first TV series, named Star Trek, chronicles the five year voyage of the Constitution-class starship Enterprise, captained by James Tiberius Kirk(played by William Shatner, and including the exec/science officer Spock, a Vulcan(played by Leonard Nimoy), and the medical officer(and Kirk's pal) Leonard McCoy(played by the late DeForest Kelly). The other primary cast members include the Chief Engineer, Montgomery Scott(played by the late James Doohan), the Communications officer, Uhura(played by Nichelle Nichols), the helmsman/asst science officer Pavel Chekhov(played by Walter Koenig), and lastly, the helmsman/navigator Sulu(played by George Takei). The ratings for Star Trek were always a bit shaky, despite the interesting episodes and plethora of alien species that were often featured. After the series went off the air in 1969, a long run of TV syndication would begin with this show, and it still appears today on the Sci-Fi channel from time to time. The first series was followed by other ST television series: Star Trek-The Next Generation, Star Trek-Deep Space Nine, Star Trek-Voyager, and Enterprise. There have also been ten(10) ST films on the big screen, all featuring the casts from the original series or from that of ST-TNG. Next up: a ST film in 2008, the rumor being that the plot will involve a young James T. Kirk and Spock, together in their first adventure. Talk about all things "Star Trek" here. All replies welcome.

I like the original STAR TREK the best. "The Trouble with Tribbles", "The Doomsday Machine", "Arena", and "The Squire of Gothos" are among my favorites.

TNG is pretty good too but for some reason it just doesn't hold up that well. Picard and Worf make that show work for me. I particularly like the episodes featuring Worf and the Klingons. "The Best of Both Worlds, parts I and II" are my favorite episodes of the series. The other shows (DS9, Voyager, Enterprise) I can do without.

Favorite ST television series: STAR TREK
Favorite Captain: Kirk/Picard (Tie)
Favorite alien species: Klingons
Favorite "Enterprise": Enterprise-Class from the first 6 TREK films. It has a really cool submarine-warfare type of personality to it. No nonsense.
Favorite babe from ST: EDIT: Linda Park from ENTERPRISE

Packmule's favorite episodes from the original 1966 series:

1. The Doomsday Machine
2. The Gamesters Of Triskelion
3. Arena
4. Balance Of Terror
5. Amok Time
6. Galileo Seven
7. Devil In The Dark
8. Mirror, Mirror
9. Cat's Paw
10. Specter Of The Gun

I agree with you that both Deanna Troi(played by Mirina Sirtis) and 7 Of 9(played by Jeri Ryan) are both beautiful women tongue-1

Regarding ST-TNG, I have always liked this series, and it is my second favorite series after the original. To it's credit ST-TNG has many character-driven episodes like the 1966 series, but for some reason I just didn't "connect" with the primary characters of ST-TNG the way I did with the original cast members. The exception to this is Picard, a truly outstanding Captain. Patrick Stewart's great acting skills no doubt added to the mystique of this character. Like you Dan, Picard and Worf were my favorite characters from TNG series. thumbs up

I really love the original series, I think when I was about 4, I received a Star Trek phaser for Christmas! Wish I had that puppy, now! Mr Green

Back several years ago, I believe I was just out of high school and a local PBS station was running their member campaign and offered the original ST series, IF they could get 300 members to pledge membership and said they would sign the contract on air, if they met that goal. I believe they showed three or four episodes and I, naturally pledged and they did indeed sign the contract, that night. I remember they carried that series for several years and would show two or three episodes every Saturday night. thumbs up

Favorite ST Television Series: Star Trek
Favorite Captain: Kirk
Favorite alien species: Klingons
Favorite "Enterprise": Enterprise-Class from the first 6 TREK films. It has a really cool submarine-warfare type of personality to it. No nonsense. Agree!
Favorite babe from ST: Guess if I must choose....Lt. Uhura

Favorite Episodes:

-Charlie X
-The Menagerie
-Shore Leave
-Arena
-The Devil In the Dark
-The City On the Edge of Forever
-Mirror, Mirror
-Journey to Babel
-The Deadly Years
-The Trouble With Tribbles

I definitely preferred the overall "feel" and the music for the second season episodes of the original Star Trek series. Another episode I liked was The Omega Glory.

Here's a good link that lists and details the episodes for all of the Star Trek series(including the animated series): Trek Nation

I'd love to have the DVD box sets of STAR TREK but they are WAAAAY too expensive for me. Why the heck are they so pricey? Other TV show box sets sell for about $50, but STAR TREK is close to $100! What's up with that?

My dream would be to own all three seasons on DVD, the Star Trek Movie Collection box set, The Borg Collective set (includes "The Best of Both Worlds" parts I and II!), and the animated series (voiced by the original stars). If I owned all of those I'd be in Trek Heaven.

Y'know, with shows like STAR TREK, THE TWILIGHT ZONE, BATMAN, ULTRAMAN, and LOST IN SPACE, the 1960's really was a cool time to be into sci-fi/fantasy shows!

Indeed, and that does not include other entertaining sci-fi TV series like The Invaders, The Time Tunnel, or Land Of The Giants, the latter two series also created and produced by Irwin Allen. thumbs up

I definitely preferred  the overall "feel" and the music for the second season episodes of the original Star Trek series.

The 1st and 2nd seasons were both excellent, in my view. When the 3rd season rolled around the quality seemed to dip a bit and some of the plots were kinda cheesy (ex. "Spock's Brain"). Oh, and just for the record, I absolutely cannot tolerate either of the Mudd episodes, "Mudd's Women" and "I, Mudd". Couldn't stand the character and I thought the plots were just straight up boring.

Here's an excellent episode: "The City on the Edge of Forever" (1st season), starring Joan Collins and written by Harlan Ellison. A solid time-travel episode with a riveting plot.

Oh, one more thing. I'm gonna have to change my favorite Trek babe to Linda Park from ENTERPRISE. She's fine...

I did not care for the third season of ST nearly as much either, though there were some decent episodes-one that comes to mind is The Day Of The Dove, featuring Kirk vs Michael Ansara's "Klingon" captain, and a floating ball of light that fed of the fighting between the humans and Klingons.

I agree with you about Linda Park-she's gorgeous tongue-1

That said I would still rather cozy up to Jolene Blalock(pictured below)

Other beauties from the 1966 series that merit a mention: Barbara Luna from Mirror,Mirror(she played Kirk's "woman" in the parallel, "savage" universe), and Yvonne Craig

I am. My mistake on the title. I liked that episode. Especially near the end, after Spock mindmelded all the crewmembers, prepping their minds to believe that the bullets weren't real. The crew and the Clantons faced each other-the Clantons fired their guns. One of the Clantons stepped forward, as did Kirk, who proceeded to go slap off on the guy, clubbing him over the head twice and then sticking the guy's own revolver in his face. thumbs up

I saw this brief byte posted at Sci-Fi.com this morning. As many of you know, a new Star Trek film is in the works for a tentative cinematic release in 2008. Here is the announcement:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nimoy, Shatner In Trek 11?

Leonard Nimoy, who played Mr. Spock in the original Star Trek series, told Jam Movies that he has been contacted by Paramount about his possible involvement in the upcoming 11th Star Trek film, being directed by J.J. Abrams.

Nimoy told the site: "The head of production at Paramount called my agency to tell them about this project, and they are aware of [William Shatner]'s and my contribution to the franchise, and they'd like us to know they might want some involvement. It was all very, very general. They might possibly want Bill and I to set up the story as a flashback. But that's just conjecture on my part."

It has been rumored that the film would deal with the first meeting of a young Spock and James T. Kirk at Starfleet Academy, but neither Abrams nor screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orc have confirmed speculation about the premise or storyline of the sequel film.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Comments, anyone? eyebrow

The original Star Trek episodes began airing regularly on TV Land on November 17, part of a 40th Anniversary celebration of the television series, which aired on NBC from 1966-1969.

Absolutely! And I also believe that these "special editions" of the original STAR TREK are also a way of getting early buzz for the new prequel film.

Indeed. I wouldn't mind seeing Spock put the "nerve pinch" on someone one last time...for old time's sake. There are some rumors on the internet that Matt Damon might play a younger James T. Kirk in the upcoming 2008 ST film. Opinions, Dan, on the selection of this actor for the role? eyebrow

Sounds like a load of hogwash to me. Casting Kirk and Spock will be as difficult as casting Superman. These characters all have distinctive looks that are hard to cast.

My take on the matter, Dan, is that Paramount would be better trying to cast an "unknown" actor(who can act) who has some resemblance to a younger William Shatner. Same for Spock, and trying to find an actor who resembles a younger Leonard Nimoy. I know that may sound somewhat off-kilter. IMO the resemblance "factor" could help these actors be somewhat accepted(no doubt grudgingly) by ST fans. Agree? Or is it time to blow this out of the water? eyebrow

Definitely will need actors that can physically match Shatner and Nimoy. Look how they casted for SUPERMAN RETURNS. Brandon Routh looks and sounds a lot like Christopher Reeve. Paramount will need to cast their TREK movie much like Singer did SR.

I figure Paramount should be able to locate two gents(and actors) who resemble a young Shatner and Nimoy. Of course if they don't there's always the option of compelling the chosen actors to undergo cosmetic surgery tongue-1 . There's also the task of teaching the "new" Spock the proper technique for employing the Vulcan nerve pinch, which, as ST fans will agree, is all in the wrist. :rolleyes:

I have the animated series on my Christmas wish list and would dearly love to have the original TV series on DVD, too.

Not sure if anyone here is a fan of the latest Star Wars films.....Episodes I--III, but I went to the theatre with Carol to see all three as they weer released....I'm a fan of Episodes IV--VI, but one bit in Episode III kind of took me by surprise.....when they showed a young, Grand Moff Tarkin and the actor resembled the late-great Peter Cushing! Somoen said they may have used a mask to generate the look, but I thought that was an awesome touch, if not, as it really did resemble a young, Grand Moff Tarkin.

Thanks for the link and photo, Lee. :) Face on, Pygram may not resemble Cushing as much as he did from a distance, but he's not a bad likeness, really....certainly has the facial shape of Cushing!

I agree that with the added touch of makeup Mr. Pygram does indeed resemble Peter Cushing.

Topic: been watching any of the original Star Trek episodes on the cable channel TVLand, Kimi? I've only managed to see two so far: The Trouble With Tribbles and A Piece Of The Action, both season two episodes. You know, I liked the pre and post-episode theme music(during the credits) for season two best, as well as the overall scores of the season two episodes. thumbs up

I've been tuning in as much as I can when Star Trek is on, I'm pleased to see this back on TV. I would love to get the series on DVD. I do, have Season 2 on layaway and I've often seen various seasons available at say, Game Stop, but even at used prices, this series fetches some high prices.

I'll have to pay closer attnetion to the opening/closing credit music, next time, I know I preferred one season over the other two, but can't recall which, perhaps it's season 2 for me, as well! :)
