It’s been all downhill for Star Trek for last 57 years.

Even before they started recycling scripts from the original series and using them for "The Next Generation", they were out of gas and Jumped the Shark Tribble in the original series.

The idea of that episode was good, the execution was horrendous. The show was on it’s last legs.

For those who haven't seen it, Leonard Nimoy actually sang and acted in a music video for "Bilbo Baggins" in 1968.

Yes, that Bilbo Baggins from book written by J.R.R. Tolkien. It's difficult to make it out in the grainy video but some of the women dancing have elf/Spock ears.

It's a real video and it happened. It may be the most horrific 3 minutes of music/video ever.

Star Trek: The Original Series was always campy.

The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine were far better.

1) “Everybody knows” that Season 3 wasn’t as good as Seasons 1 & 2. Bet we all thank God for Season 3 ... it’s what put Star Trek into syndication. Star Trek in syndication paved the way for EVERY Science Fiction show that followed (for good or ill). Kids today should be careful what they sneer at.

2) The Space Hippies were hilarious ... and a very pointed satire of real hippies, who were an all too present and obnoxious part of American society at the time.

3) Cracked dot com is a bunch of childish morons.
