ABN's IM Log, Stardate 2009

Me: Oh! Did I tell you I saw two of the original Star Trek episodes today?

arianablack : hehe

Me:: The "suspense" music was kind of corny. I know it was from the 60s, but still

arianablack : Well, with all the drugs, I'm sure it made sense at the time

Just wanted to post that since I thought some of you would find that amusing. But, yes, I found Star Trek online, on either NBC or CBS, I forget which website. It's neat exploring one of the first widespread fanbases. (I don't count having seen the most recent adaptation, just because... it felt like a very 2009 adaptation, if that makes any sense whatsoever.)

I still say the music that they played every time something worthy of concern or suspense was a bit cheesy. :P And the first episode annoyed me because it was almost too obvious. I'm not really hooked, but I'm intrigued. I watched another episode that was later in the season, and it was quite good. I think it's also a bit hard to swallow because while it takes place in the future, you have all these 1960s outfits and hairdos. Then again, in Firefly they all talk like they're in 1849. (And, in some cases - see Shindig - 1809). So I've decided for whatever reason, 60s style came back.

Anyway, that's your meta for the night.

ETA: One more thing... George Taikei! :D Now I get why he has so many fangirls. I only knew him before from Heroes, where he played Hiro's father. I'd known he had something to do with Star Trek, but I didn't realize he was Sulu.
