I find it amazing that people are still fans of ST 50 years later. I watched it when I was kid, and loved every minute of it then.
The ST Continues is the best rehash version that I have seen for the original series, perhaps better in many ways. TOS was so interesting during the time that the country was preparing to go to the moon with all of the test missions in space. I though by the time I am my age that we would have definitely found a way to get to other planets with manned missions, but alas, it didn't happen.
The interesting thing is that I would have never guessed that we would carry around computers that also doubled as phones and cameras that took pictures that you didn't need chemical film to develop on special paper. Instant communication with anyone in the world by tapping out a text and pressing send... wow! Also to get on a network where you could get information and directions anytime, unbelievable! These computers are probably 100 orders of magnitude faster and better than the computers on board the lunar module.
But still no one on Mars yet, although we have some robots out there. Star Trek and the space program had my hopes up that we would be so far advanced in technology by this time that there would be nothing that we couldn't do, yet there are groups of people here and all over still wanting more of the original ST, go figure.
Well, just my 2 cents of thought..
