    In this first part of our Stam Fine Review of Gene Roddenberry's Star Trek (1966-69), Or The Original Series (TOS) or Classic Trek, we look at how the show came to be and its cast of iconic characters. Star Trek has spun off more series than almost any TV show in history. 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.

    Jeffrey Hunter's wife absolutely hated the scenes with VIna, as she thought that the actress, Susan Oliver, was "coming on" to her husband. So when NBC offered Hunter the continuing role as Captain of the Enterprise, SHE, (Mrs. Hunter), came down to the studio to say, "My husband is a movie star. He does not want to make television programs." End of scene. Until, Hunter himself found out about this after a casual run in with a friend on the production. Turns out, he hadn't known of the NBC offer, nor would he have turned it down, as he needed the work. But William Shatner had been hired by then and was in the midst of filming his first episode. So it goes.

    I was raised on Star Trek, this was an epic show. Of course they had the same advantage in sci fi which the Beatles had in music.... being first on a new scene they could explore without expectation and everything which they did set the standard and those shows which came after them would be compared to them and usually badly!

    • @MattMcIrvin
      @MattMcIrvin 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      This, The Twilight Zone, and The Outer Limits were rare cases of a screen science-fiction property that was actually trying to bring something of the sensibility of decent-quality print science fiction to television. And the other two were wide-ranging anthology shows, rather than an adventure show with continuing characters. So that made Star Trek somewhat unique in American TV--other shows that were playing in that area ("Lost in Space" was the main competition) were much broader and cheesier.

    I still like "Spocks Brain" as stupid as it is, its still enjoyable to watch and does have dramatic moments in it with Dr McCoy and the women of course and society and even the basic sets. Fun.. I think theres good episodes in all 3 season so pretty good given the money they had to work with..

    • @Shindai
      @Shindai 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Spock's Brain is pretty much quinessentially what I thought Star Trek was before I sat down to watch it to enjoy the cheese, ironical like (I enjoy me a so bad it's good movie or show) I fell in love with it for all the reasons one might, but I adore that it still has really silly episodes like Spock's Brain, just to satisfy that initial itch :)

    • @richardjohnson9543

      Spock's Brain is goofy but fun. And this is the only episode where the main viewscreen is actually functional and not an optical effect. Unfortunately there were too many technical and logistical issues for that to continue, as convincing as it was. In fact, even today it's more trouble than it's worth

Boeing briefly used her voice for aircraft warnings, "terrain...pull up," though she wasn't the original "Bitching Betty". Boeing thought a female voice would be more authoritarian than a male voice.

    Nice retrospective. I grew up with Star Trek so most of the information I already knew. Airbrushing Spock's ears was new tho. I like that you included a nod to Galaxy Quest and the Monkees.
    You touched on the KIRK-SPOCK-MCCOY triumvirate a bit which was good. The TRIUNE BRAIN that we humans utilize is well explained by the relationship between the three iconic characters...
    MR. SPOCK represents the NEOMAMMALIAN or Neocortex that governs logic and problem solving.
    DR. MCCOY represents the PALEOMAMMALIAN (or Limbic system) that governs emotional prioritizing.
    CAPTAIN KIRK represents the REPTILIAN COMPLEX that governs autonomic responses, appetites, sex drive, fight or flight reactions, egotistical line counting, etc. Like the Captain, the Reptilian part of the brain can easily overrule the rest of the brain during a crisis or in extreme situations.
    Thanks for posting this review. It is the gift of Landru.

    The thing I always appreciated about so many of Starfleet's Constitution Class starships becoming victims of some threat or other is it made it seem like the stakes were pretty high -- there was nothing separating those ships from the Enterprise other than the people serving aboard them. It is widely accepted in the fandom that Kirk and crew returning from their five year mission safely was kind of a big deal, and elevated them to living legend status by the time-frame depicted in the movies. Whereas all starship crews seen on the TV show had their own emblem on the uniform, from the movies onwards all Starfleet personnel wore the Enterprise delta patch, apparently in homage to Kirk and his crew surviving and coming home alive where so many others had perished.

    Also, when you said that bit about a paintball pellet on a tiger tank, you should have cut to that bit in kelly's heroes when donald sutherland literally accidentally fires a paint shell into a tiger tank. I would have lulz. lol

    Spock was attractive because he was dark and mysterious.

    Ah, man. You had my hopes up for an unknown sci-fi gem being out there; a series "about space life in the Marines". Rewatched that part 2 times before I heard correctly "base". Oh well, for those few minutes an entire show flashed through my noggin; it was pretty good, but they jumped the shark when they went to color at the end of the imaginary season (the change of silvery suits didn't help either).

    Great video! Of all the original cast I have only ever met Majel Barrett and she definitely didn't like William Shatner...she refused to sign a picture I had of her and Shatner at a convention...She relented in the end but I really didn't know how much Shatner was disliked by the other cast until that point.

    At 7:45 is Laurel Goodwin, the last surviving cast member from the Cage.
    Sure she didn't make it to the series,
    but she did co-star with ELVIS in Girls,Girls,Girls in 1962.

    "Brain and brain! What is brain?" 😄 That particular episode was not particularly cerebral. Good use of that clip.

    The executive who assaulted Grace Lee Whitney was later named: it was Gene Roddenberry. He also had an affair with Majel Barrett, while married to another woman and was two timing Barrett, with Nichelle Nichols and tried to get her into a three-way with Barrett. He carried on an affair with his PA, on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Roddenberry was, to put it kindly, not a very nice or honorable man. Harlan Ellison was one of the people who had no problem calling Roddenberry what he was: a thief, a liar, and a womanizer.

    The biggest problem with Star Trek was that NBC was cheap. Whereas CBS would pay 100,000 dollars an episode (they were the Tiffany network after all) NBC would only pay 75,000 per episode. Considering they had next to no budget they did an amazing job of writing, acting and set design.
