Did you see the last episode.

Theresa · **Sun Jun 24, 2001 12:21 pm**

Of the Original Series? Wasn't the last episode that was aired the one where that woman, forget her name, took over Kirks body?

TOS is not shown where I am.

Theresa · **Sun Jun 24, 2001 10:47 pm**

TOS is on ALL of the time here. Just about every Monday they will have a mini marathon, and then show it at 5pm every day. Voyager, I have not been able to see since about 2 years ago.

Tos was awesome except the fact that all the special effects sucked.

Theresa · **Sun Jun 24, 2001 11:39 pm**

Yeah, the effects suck now, but my Dad said that when he was a kid, it was the coolest thing.

I like the tos they were good but bad effects the last one to come on my tv was the on where that woman doctor took over kirks body it was good

janeway9 · **Mon Jun 25, 2001 3:00 pm**

so why does no one come to this post

Theresa · **Mon Jun 25, 2001 3:25 pm**

Because no one has much to say about TOS at the moment? After Voyager, it is my favorite, the one I grew up with.

janeway9 · **Mon Jun 25, 2001 3:39 pm**

your right I grew up with it( although I am only 17) my dad watched it all the time and that is why I love startrek so much

Theresa · **Mon Jun 25, 2001 3:41 pm**

Almost exactly the same thing here, my dad used to watch TOS EVERY Friday night, and I would watch it with him. I wasn't to thrilled when TNG came out, but I guess it grew on me.

janeway9 · **Mon Jun 25, 2001 3:43 pm**

I liked TNG but DS9 never did get my eye

Theresa · **Mon Jun 25, 2001 9:59 pm**

What do you think of the way that they killed off Captain Kirk? Personally I thought that it sucked. And then to be left on some planet in the middle of nowhere? After all he has done for the Federation, like saving Earth at least twice.

TOS is ok but there isn't enough space combat and the graphics when they do shot phasers and stuff suck

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 10:14 am**

Yeah, but remember in about 10 years, the effects from Voyager and the movies are going to seem as archaic as TOS does right now.

Ya But By then They might Perhaps come out with an even better series.

janeway9 · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 11:28 am**

well they may seem like that to others but to me voyager will never die or will startrek.

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 11:36 am**

I just meant that as our technology grows, the things that seem so "modern" now, will be old.

janeway9 · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 11:39 am**

yes true but we will always love these shows or aleast I will

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 11:43 am**

Oh, most definitely. I still like TOS even though most of the things that were "futuristic" then, we have now. I am sure it will be the same w/ Voyager. Like I said, while the visual effects are a great asset to a show, it is the character dynamics that draws most people. And if there is one thing that will not change, it is how people interact w/ each other.

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 11:56 am**

Hey TOS is ok for its time but the graphics are lame and there isn't enough space combat but in the movies with the TOS crew are awesome though

Theresa · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 8:19 pm**

Who do you think would have been a better captain on the Enterprise, Captain Pike (Jeffrey Hunter), or Captain Kirk (William Shatner)?

janeway9 · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 8:27 pm**

Captain kirk I think

Iain of Nine · **Tue Jun 26, 2001 9:54 pm**

Kirk pike sucked he wasn't fit to do the missions Kirk did
