Remember When

Quote: AutomaticMonkey

I find it difficult to say "Number Six" without saying it in the voice of those tormenting The Prisoner.

The first run of Star Trek was a few years too soon for me to attentively watch, but I remember watching it in weekly syndication. Then it was completely off the air for a while, and fans howled, but when the movies started coming out it reignited Trekeeism and it went into daily syndication. Being most of my TV watching happens with a precisely crafted hunk of aluminum that resembles the numeral 8, MeTV, Ant TV, and now a few others carry all the beloved series from that era and for free space broadcast those channels are very popular.

I was a senior in high school when Star Trek premiered and i was a huge gigantic science fiction fan so I was enthralled for the entire three years And I especially loved the Communicator, that thing they held in their hand and talked to the ship. I often think about that when I'm using my smart phone because my phone is so much greater than that stupid communicator was. Yet in 1966 it was absolutely awesome.
