a5c7b9f00b Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Starship Enterprise explore the galaxy and defend the United Federation of Planets. It is the 23rd century and together with the crew of the Federation starship Enterprise we travel across the galaxy to meet new and exciting life forms on distant planets. The 80 episode TV series which was produced from 1966 to 1969 has now cult character and has fans all over the world. I started watching TOS when I was six years old (1966). I watched it because my Dad watched it. My brother and I would sit on the floor in front of the TV.<br/><br/>When I became a teenager, the local UHF station showed ST every day around six, and every day around six I would watch it. It became part of my life, and my daily routine. In the process I learned so much! The habit of watching Trek followed me into adulthood. When my children were babies, and got me up at night, I would turn the TV on to Star Trek while I was trying to get them back to sleep.<br/><br/>At troubled or hard times of my life, I would watch Trek to take my mind off my worries. I began to read the books, and online, I met quite a few other Trek fans. I found there were other people who felt the same way I did.<br/><br/>Star Trek to me is more than a television show. It is a philosophy and a way of thinking. To emulate the characters in the show is to emulate a better way of life. The best because when TOS was being produced, there WAS nothing else to compare it to.<br/><br/>To create Star Trek, an entire universe was created, and with the exception of occasional glitches, they remained consistent to that universe. I will agree with other reviews here in observing that the best part of TOS is that each episode stands alone. I never liked the "ongoing saga" aspect of TNG or DS9, and to a lesser extent, Voyager.<br/><br/>My personal favorites were "Wink of an Eye" and the one where Kirk gets hit on the head on a planet and lives like a Native American Indian, gets married, etc., is called Kirok, and at the end she dies. Oh, I also like the one where the transporter splits people into good and evil… that's great fun!<br/><br/>Just like other shows that I personally like, the best part is the sort of cartoon-like quality for each character. Each individual is strongly typed, you can usually predict how each character will react to a given situation. The writers merely needed to invent a situation, and the rest wrote itself.<br/><br/>This is a relic of the 60's, a way of behaving that nobody glorifies anymore. Nowadays, people constantly "reinvent" themselves. All of the characters in TNG changed over the years the show ran, their actions and reactions altered over time.<br/><br/>But Kirk is always Kirk, and Spock is always Spock, all of the TOS characters were so solid.
"TOS" is an abbreviation for "The Original Series". It is used by fans to diffferentiate between this series and any of the spin-off series. The other series are The Animated Series (TAS), The Next Generation (TNG), Deep Space Nine (DS9), Voyager (VOY), Enterprise (ENT) and Discovery (DSC). The original shooting model of the U.S.S. Enterprise measures 11 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 32 inches tall (3.4 x 1.5 x 0.8 metres), weighing in at about 200 pounds (90 kg). It is currently on display at the gift shop of the Smithsonian Institution, in Washington, D.C. The model of the U.S.S. Enterprise was designed by <a href="/name/nm0420142/">Walter M. "Matt" Jeffries</a>. Nearly all Federation ships featured throughout "Star Trek" are based on this model. The crawl spaces on ships were named "Jeffries Tubes" in his honor. Desilu was a production company owned by <a href="/name/nm0000789/">Desi Arnaz</a> and <a href="/name/nm0000840/">Lucille Ball</a>. By the time "Star Trek" and "<a href="/title/tt0060009/">Mission: Impossible (1966)</a>" went into production in 1966, Ms. Ball was the sole owner of the studio. A year later, Paramount bought out Desilu, but Desilu was allowed to continue using their name as long as their shows were in production.<br/><br/>Not every episode ends with Desilu. From "The Immunity Syndrome" through the end of the series, episodes end with the Paramount logo. A black and white print of "The Cage" was screened by <a href="/name/nm0734472/">Gene Roddenberry</a> in September, 1966 on the "World Science Fiction Convention" along with "Where No Man Has Gone Before."<br/><br/>In the 1980s a half black-and-white half color print was made available on VHS tape edited together from "The Menagerie" and a black and white print of "The Cage".<br/><br/>An original, full-color negative was found in the Paramount archives in 1988 (some fans speculate that they simply colorized the black-and-white print, but it seems unlikely). This print - and the full pilot itself - first aired in the United States as part of a special during the strike-shortened second season of "<a href="/title/tt0092455/">Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)</a>," in October 1988. The first scheduled airing of the episode in the U.S. was on the Sci-Fi Channel in 1998.<br/><br/>The reason why some fans think that the color version was colorized is that they don't realize that the camera negative was silent. So what they did was to print the negative, and synch it with the soundtrack to the half black and white version (hence the quality of the sound changing like it had in the previous release). Season 1: Thursdays, 8:30 - 9:30pm. Season 2: Fridays, 8:30 - 9:30pm. Season 3: Fridays, 10:00 - 11:00pm. All times are Eastern/Pacific. (NBC aired 12 or 13 third season episodes during the summer of 1969 on Tuesdays at 7:30 - 8:30, replacing "<a href="/title/tt0061267/">The Jerry Lewis Show</a>," a variety show. Most of them were third season repeats, but "<a href="/title/tt0708485/">Turnabout Intruder</a>" had its first run in that time slot, on June 3, 1969.) No. "Star Trek" had no predetermined ending point. (Captain Kirk makes reference to a "five-year mission" in the introduction, but the show was not intended to stop after five seasons either.)<br/><br/>"Star Trek" was nearly canceled during both the first and second seasons. A very creative and aggressive letter-writing campaign to NBC was enough to save the series for a third season.<br/><br/>But the show was now scheduled in the Friday night 10-11 "suicide" slot. The slot was particularly bad for "Star Trek," whose typical fan would be going out on Friday night. (VCRs, of course, were not around in the late 60s.) After the third season, "Star Trek" was finally canceled.<br/><br/>Roddenberry promised that he would return to Producer status which he held in the first two pilots and the first nine regular episodes, if NBC puts the show to a decent, 7:30PM timeslot. However when NBC put Trek into the "suicide" slot of 10PM Fridays, he stepped off and had very little control over the series during the third season. According to <a href="/name/nm0000638/">William Shatner</a>'s book "Star Trek Memories," the campaign originated when <a href="/name/nm0872856/">Bjo</a> and John Trimble approached Gene Roddenberry, and they asked him for ideas on how to reach other fans of the show (The Internet did not exist in those days, so it had to be letters, phone calls, and face-to-face contact). As a token for their efforts, Bjo Trimble had a walk-on role in <a href="/title/tt0079945/">Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)</a> (1979). Fans of the show to this day regard the couple as the ones who saved "Star Trek." Though science-fiction conventions had been around long before "Star Trek" entered the scene (Gene Roddenberry premiered two episodes at a sci-fi convention), the first convention devoted to "Star Trek" took place in New York City, in 1972. Both were made up on the set by <a href="/name/nm0000559/">Leonard Nimoy</a>. In the script of "<a href="/title/tt0708463/">The Enemy Within</a>" Spock disabled the duplicate Kirk by pistol whipping him. Nimoy felt that it would be too "savage" and unsuitable for such a logical individual as Spock. He asked the director if he could improvise his own idea. He said yes, and Nimoy choreographed the now-famous neck pinch with Shatner for the episode. the The Next Three Days full movie in hindi free download hdThe Big Wheel full movie download mp4Basic hd mp4 downloadWonderguy malayalam movie downloadSalvator full movie with english subtitles online downloadThe Hacker movie mp4 downloadG.I.
