STAR TREK (The TV show)was so bad you can tell it was made on the cheap!
I was only able to set through one full show about a machine that ate planets. The others were terrible!
STAR WARS was much better but too many people have become way too enamored with it. I could not set through the later 1990s versions as they were so awful.
Take a look at those episodes today. They've been remastered in HD with all new CGI special effects. Aside from the uniforms, nothing looks cheap anymore.
In the late 1960’s when it came out it was pretty good!
I think the original Star Trek (the 1960s series) was light years better than anything ever made regarding Sci-fi and here’s why: It forced the audience to use it’s imagination which will aways trump the greatest special effects and the greatest attention to detail. It was a low budget show that reused a lot of effects and props (even music) which worked in it’s favor making it more surreal. If you took it literally it was a joke. Kirk and Spock dressed as Nazis or gangsters or seeing the Alice in wonderland bunny on a planet. But that is what made it great. Life in outerspace is the unknown and it made your imagination fly rather than limit you with sharp definitions. Star Wars is more a Pirate movie and don’t even get me started on Star trek the Next Generation which I like to call Star Trek the anal retentive politically correct version. That show got me so nauseous when it first came out I half expected Picard to start licking Number twos crack hole which is why they probably called him number two. I mean my God, they even had a shrink on the bridge. WTF?
