[Atrocities]

TOS has many more than one admirable quality. Have you happened to see any of the re-mastered version? With updated SFX the show really takes on a whole new feel. TOS is still the standard by which all Star Trek is measured and will be for all time. The feel of that show has never been successfully duplicated, just slightly emulated to some small degree. TNG, DS9, and even Voyager as well as Ent had to adopt the TOS formula in order to improve ratings over all. The TOS series had a real future feel to it with a measure of intelligence that even by todays standards is lacking in all of the spin offs. The military sense of nobility, the value paced in ones character, the ownership of the ship and the mission, none of that has come through all that well in TNG. Hell they toasted the Enterprise D and not so much as a whimper was passed by the audiance when compared to the utter shock of seeing the original Enterprise burning up in orbit and the joy at seeing the new Enterprise A in the next movie.

People laugh at TOS now, but thats just because they have grown up in technological age and the technology concepts of TOS are so far out modeled by todays tech that it sometimes seems silly to us. But for its time, its time, it was truly a wonderful show. So when people get down on it, that tends to piss me off. After all, look at all the people who have invented things and become valuable scientist of today all because of that old and silly TOS series.

TOS has always had the mature and modern human feel to it that one could believe would be the way humanity would advance and act in the future. High morals, and a no nonsense military adaptation of a future that many more Star trek fans than not consider to be the best of the best of Star Trek.

They would not be going back to make a TOS movie of the original series if there wasn't a demand for it. If you don't get the old series, or feel that its just simply horrible, well then, don't go see the movie. Those who say that the acting in the series was bad really don't know what the hell they are talking about. And I challenge them to say that they do in a room full of real star trek fans. They won't get out alive. And for the record, acting back then was a different kind of business than it is today. Today its all about the sense of self entitlement while back then it was just a job. Today its a spectator sport filled with over paid poor quality, selfish, childish, silver spoon, yuppie, mean, and condescendingly rude people who, for the most part, believe that they are better than the rest of us and therefore rightfully entitled to the prestige of being on the Hollywood mantel and worship as well as being idealized by millions of lowly peasants as great actors, when in all truth, they haven't earned the right to be called actors let alone any ones respect.

When I was a kid, my hero was Captain Kirk. I ask people of today who their hero's are, and they either don't say or they say Sponge Bob. Sponge Bob.... *shakes head* Sponge Bob.
