And now I want to go watch Star Trek. The original series. But the collections are like $100 a pop. That's @$!#ing ridiculous.
Yeah, it was cheesy, and the special effects haven't always aged well, but so what? It was good. And for all the razzing we collectively give Shatner, James T. Kirk is still one of the archetypal geek heroes. Right up there in the pantheon with Luke, Optimus Prime, Voltron, and superheroes.
Optimistic Sci-fi television. Where the good guys are actually good. We need more of that on network TV. That doesn't suck, like Enterprise sadly did.

True story.
