Star Trek (TREK)

Nice. TOS is classic, I'll always watch it. I like all of the characters. Shatner was great in that role. The over-acting style he used with unexpected pauses in sentences really worked in that role. I haven't watched all of his other work, as I'm more interested in the characters than the actors; basically for everything I watch. But I do recall enjoying a reality TV show about renovating Shatner's home; it entertained me. I was born in the mid 60's, so everything was a rerun for me. My mom enjoyed the show, so I got to watch it a lot. My dad would watch it, but I suspect he mostly enjoyed the scantily clothed females.

I recall Roddenberry saying that the network interfered with his vision and he compromised to get TOS on the air, and that TNG was more what he intended, more cerebral, less western-ish. I'm certain that Discovery and Picard are far from Roddenberry's vision.

Thanks for sharing. TREK ON!
