I see. I pretty much have to have a copy of the vids I waana watch, unless it’s “throwaway’ viewing.
I’m not sure if I’d enjoy the remaster TOS as much as you. I kind of like the old school effects and prefer to keep my suspension of disbelief untouched.
I like blooper reels that involve the doors, tho!

Kind of hard to do, even with special effects getting better and better. Inside, you just know it's not real. When I was a kid, my dad took me to sit in a couple TV audiences. One was Captain Satellite, a local kids weekend show of a guy with a rocket ship. I felt betrayed watching the camera guy follow a little toy rocket ship on a guide wire, and other mock-up miniatures made to look big by the camera shots. The show was never the same for me after that. Yes, keep escapism alive! When I was a teen, my best friend often took me into his home. His two younger brothers were raving about a TV show called "Star Trek", on live at the time in the 1960s. They had models of the spaceships and posters. They were a black family, not what you would imagine to be fans but they were really into it. It took me a few years before I watched it as reruns.
