For obvious reasons, I have not seen this new documentary, so I cannot honestly say that I think this is the best movie on tonight. 50 Years of Star Trek, however, looks like it's going to offer some fun, celebratory TV stuff and is probably a "Must See".
I, like so many, grew up with this show on in the living room several times a week; my stepdad was a trekkie. In the 1980's, we had the original series re-runs as well as the new The Next Generation series. Not to mention the several Star Trek films that were released every few years and then went to "movie heaven" (cable).
I never cared for the movies. Most of the franchises' TV series, however, managed to hold my attention and imagination. I was enthralled by the idea of humans finally achieving some tremendous technological and spiritual landmarks. The costumes and sets were iconic and hokey but there was so much damn heart put into each space age story; not to be ignored.
Though I would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite captain, I would
rather watch Deep Space Nine than Voyager re-runs, Next Generation over
all of them. Spock is my favorite character of the entire series....today.
50 Years of Star Trek is on History at 8P.
