Star Trek

Sci Fi recently started repeating Star Trek, the original sixties series at 7pm every week day. Hel and I decided to tune in and have watched it every day since. They are playing them from the beginning, in new remastered prints. I had forgotten how good these stories were, well written, great character plots and stories, really imaginative, thought provoking stuff. Of course some of the slightly 60's attitudes prevail, especially regarding the role of a woman in society, but beyond that, in a sociological sense, they are ahead of their time with their messages. After the dross that was Star Trek in its later years, its hard to remember what it started out as, before it went like all the worse US sci fi series, 'US marines in space, whupping alien butt'.

Classic stuff.
