Retro-review, Star Trek Original Series: "The Naked Time" (Episode S01E06)

Submitted by thetrekblog on Fri, 02/26/2010 - 22:58
This is the episode that defines the Original Series and much of what comes after: the show is as much about what is in ourselves as it is what's out there.

Retro-review, Star Trek Original Series: "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (Episode S01E01)

Submitted by thetrekblog on Wed, 02/17/2010 - 14:57
This is another episode that I would show to those new to the franchise. Though it brings us back to a simpler, less complicated time, it shows us that the crew of the Enterprise knew how to make tough choices and, more importantly, how to live with them.

Retro-review, Star Trek Original Series: "Charlie X" (Episode S01E07)

Submitted by thetrekblog on Sat, 02/06/2010 - 20:55

There are bigger and more knowledgeable Star Trek fans than I in New Worlds, so for them, I'm linking to this special announcement about a lecture on Kirk and Literature. Ah, the academe is now taking the Captain seriously!

The craziest things end up on YouTube and you can never really predict what might become popular with everyone else. Sometimes it's a simple video of some pet doing something silly. Other times it's a full mini-series created by fans. Then you get highly unusual Star Trek mash-ups like this one.
