I’m not gonna lie. There are elements to this that appeal. Via GeekTyrant:
I think that it’s the swagger. Star Trek: TOS had swagger down pat. Kirk particularly, but everybody on the show knew how to chew them some scenery, and they made the program in a milieu where it was OK to be brash. And that’s the (dubious) attraction of a Quentin Tarantino Star Trek, right there. Tarantino would absolutely love the idea of sending the Enterprise crew back to 1968, in all of its retro glory. And, heck: the Enterprise did, in one episode.
:pause:
There we go. That’s what Tarantino would do. A homage to Gary Seven and “Assignment: Earth.” Only Roberta Lincoln would be black and there’d be at least one huge bar fight. Again, I ain’t gonna lie; that I might watch.
I graduated from HS in 70. What I know is that I watched Star Trek every time I could.. because by then I was working as a cashier at the local IGA. In viewing this seminal series: think time stuffies mop up, Might could have been working.
I have (I think) seen EVERY episode. The Internet is wonderful!
As a younger fem, I was focused on Spock: very cool, totally inaccessible, (bodice ripper: I could MELT those ice walls.! To: why yes! KIRK. you rock my over-the-top world.
That Gary Seven episode? That was Terri Garr playing Roberta Lincoln, back in the days when she was a Gazzari Dancer.
Oh, Momma.
