I really liked Star Trek when it first came on. Still do like it but viewing it recently I was surprised how many weak episodes there are.
There are some excellent ones too but I think the main reason it continues to be popular is the characters. All the actors are, or were good.
BTW, they dropped the “man” and replaced it with “one” in the later ripoffs.
Ever notice that in the Star Trek series everyone was a officer.And there were only two enlisted rank Yeoman Brand and Chief O Brien.
Yep.due to political correctness, they changed it to “where no one has gone before”. We have to be inclusive and don’t want females to have hurt self esteem .
If you watch the newly syndicated versions, they have been digitally enhanced in certain scenes, like the Enterprise orbiting a planet, or certain computer displays.
They] technicians did add to it, and the story lines remain true. Basically, they improved on the ‘60s special effects.
Gene Roddenberry didn't allow any 'over acting'... Actors love to 'emote' at high levels but when everyone's competing it's exhausting for the audience. And it's not realistic. So Roddenberry would step in frequently and remind actors that high levels of emotions didn't work in routine settings like a ship's bridge...
