In the second part of our Stam Fine Review of Classic Star Trek, we look the people who put the show together, financial issues, and examine some of the show's memorable elements: make-up, costumes, visuals, sound, music, merchandise. We also look Star Trek's rebirth in the 70's after finding a welcoming home in syndication.
Star Trek chronicles the adventures of the Starship Enterprise on its 5 year Mission to explore stuff. Star Trek stars William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk, Leonard Nimoy as Mr Spock, DeForest Kelley as Dr McCoy, James Doohan as Scotty, Nichelle Nichols as Uhura, George Takei as Sulu, and Walter Koenig as Chekov.

I've met Leonard Nimoy, when i was small. He was so warm and so gentle. I met Shatner as well, which was like being in the room with a large existence...he didnt have a lot of time, but he was very nice and personal. My favorite memory was when i was small, i got chicken pox. my mother put a makeshift bed in the living room, socks on my hands, and WPIX (channel 11, NYC) ran Star Trek for 3 hours on Saturday night. In a fever, on meds, socks on my hands, i was comforted and relieved. Born a fan, always a fan, but not of the "discovery" junk. Just keep it wholesome

@mikavirtanen7029 2 жыл бұрын

What is remarkable about the Original Series is how strong the first two seasons are. While every subsequent Trek took at least two seasons to find their legs, the Original just stormed right out of the gate with awesomeness. Roddenberry did a damn good job rewriting the original scripts at the beginning of season 1 to give a series it's format , Gene L. Coon refined the series to excellence and after Coon left John Meredyth Lucas kept the standards pretty high. Then came the dark times of season 3, Roddenberry had started to lose interest and wanted to make movies, Paramount slashed the budget and in came Freddie Freiberger to crash the Starship Enterprise to the ground. There are some bright spots in season 3, and also okay episodes, but the loss of quality is staggering when you compare it to the previous seasons.

@bonghunezhou5051 2 жыл бұрын

"...find their sea legs..." I for one find the first 2 series of Voyager rather solid. Similar to TOS, the quality of Voyager declined (in relative terms) during its final three; while there were some great episodes, on the whole it became repetitive, with constant resets and disproportionately featuring The Doctor and Seven of Nine (even Captain Janeway was somewhat sidelined).

@lancebaylis3169 2 жыл бұрын

@Bonghune Zhou I tend to agree about Voyager. Indeed, there are even subtle attempts at serializing going on in the first two seasons that later seasons sadly dropped. I do agree that TOS came out of the gate strong though.

Your taking the time to single out the work of Gene Coon, William Ware Theiss, Jerry Finnerman, D.C. Fontana, Robert H.

Great work showing that TOS was the opposite of Gene Roddenberry's vision. The whole 'my vision of a human utopia' Gene Roddenberry didn't exist until TNG. The TOS Roddenberry just wanted to be a big deal TV producer running the hottest casting couch in Hollywood. All the biggest ST ideas came from other, smarter people like DC Fontana, Gene Coon etc...

@kaitlyn__L 4 ай бұрын

Fontana and Coon deserve _all_ the credit for how the Federation worked. Then Roddenberry acted like he’d thought it all up by himself once they were out of the picture. Heck, Fontana was also important in crystallising the TNG conception of the Federation too - AND in figuring-out what the Trill should actually be, in early DS9!

As precedence goes, the 1st season of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea introduced some very good sci fi in 1964. Same year MAN FROM U.N.C.L.E. started. With episodes like The Sky Is Falling and Doomsday, Voyage anticipated shows like TREK, as well as MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE. Despite the unevenness in quality typical of anything by Irwin Allen (when his shows were good it was in SPITE of him, not BECAUSE of him), Voyage was the first of its kind. (Since I mention Allen I'll also add that I've always loved the 8 earliest episodes of Lost In Space, whose early writers included Shimon Wincelberg and Carey Wilbur, who went on to work on Star Trek's 1st season. Wilbur did Space Seed, with Khan).

Harlan Ellison knew his script could never be filmed. He called for millions of people in crowds and completely mischaracterized the main characters of the show he was writing for. He turned in the script as a passive aggressive move. "Either they'll never be able to film this amazing piece of fiction, or they'll mutilate it and I'll have a chance to whine forever about how my amazing, spectacular sci-fi story was changed against my will."

I really like the behind the scenes information of how TOS all came together, but writers and producer info, and the cinematic lighting which was not common for that time period on shows. This was an intelligent production. I would love to see a comparison video on writing storytelling styles of TOS, TNG era series, and the new Trek era with Discovery etc. on how things have changed. Ironic that the studio cancelled the TOS series too soon, not anticipating the massive amount they would make later on toys and syndication. But then we got movies and TNG.

While there's no question about Trek's low budget 60's special effects, I'll take the original shots of the Enterprise model over the CGI "adulteration" in the modern remasters, which I think makes the ship look darker and ugly, and many revamped angles ruin the impact of some scenes in the original series (like in Who Mourns For Adonis?). The original series' footage also followed the laws of physics in space more accurately. It's like the guys who did the CGI tried to turn ST: TOS into Star Wars, whereas the original stuck with Newtonian motion, AND stuff like explosions in space were silent.

I never thought about how rare it is to have so much information on a show (both its fictional universes and real-world details); as a life long fan of the franchise since just after it originally aired I guess I just take it for granted. Even comic books, which has a incredible amount of behind the scenes details public now, isn't quite comparable because so many of its creators passed away long before the drama and (accurate) details came out. It must be kind of annoying/envious to some who's favorite shows at best get a single sintence write-up on wikipedia. I like to think that some mirror universe out there their show was the Star Trek of its Earth (though not My Mother, the Car; sorry, I can't handle the idea of a coliseum full of Jerry Van Dyke cosplayers fighting over some reboot starring the Rock.

The only other show of the genre that gets covered in such depth ironically enough would be the original Doctor Who series. The 60’s, 70’s and 80’s eras getting covered aplenty from the cast to even the unmade episodes with a lot of them getting adapted decades later in audio drama forms including the original pre-hiatus Season 23 serials. From the series’ beginnings to it’s cancellation and life after 1989; more than well documented. Though I don’t believe we have a series of books actually covering the behind the scenes of the show season by season like TOS does.

40:15 Shatner also had five seasons from 1982 to 1986 as the lead in TJ Hooker, a fairly typical police drama that nonetheless did pretty well in the ratings, got revived at CBS after being cancelled at ABC, and stayed in syndication for ages. You can still see it today on one of the retro cable channels, I think. It was kind of a big deal for Shatner, and it's certainly the role he's best known for outside of Trek.

Star Trek has a lot of popular culture myths, which often aren't worth mentioning. Beam Me Up, Scotty being the most famous one. I've always thought the image of Kirk bascially being the opposite of what his character was like in TOS being a major one - so much so that the new movies actually have him really being like that.
