ST:TAS was brand new and I had watched every Saturday, as well as every episode I could haul down on UHF stations. The first Blish story I read was "The Ultimate Computer" in ST9.

I had no-one to share my joy with except myself. Regardless of any problems with the story and pacing, the simple fact of having new Trek, with the new expanded universe, made the movie a true event in our lives.Frederickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11868719487717506764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-11182020386342970582010-03-15T10:47:35.944-07:002010-03-15T10:47:35.944-07:00I'll never forget being at a Con in Leeds in E...I'll never forget being at a Con in Leeds in England and getting our first sight of the official calendar for ST:TMP.

We both loved the original series, and still do! Well, and when I met her my first thought was, "Wow, she's hot!" ;) <br /><br />CMXAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-3996236402658626972010-03-12T07:06:48.566-08:002010-03-12T07:06:48.566-08:00My appreciation preceeds me, yes, thus I will not ...My appreciation preceeds me, yes, thus I will not again wax nostalgic about my enjoyment of all things "pre-franchise".<br /><br />Instead I will wax nostalgic about those ancient pre-internet days when everything about an upcoming movie wasn't disected and spoiled for you a year before the movie came out. I have very fond memories of seeing "first pictures!" stories and the time I would take looking them over and wondering "wow, I wonder what's happening there" and "wow, I wonder who that character is going to be" and "wow, I wonder where that scene takes place". It was fun for the imagination.Jaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-61993201331427687052010-03-11T21:49:18.549-08:002010-03-11T21:49:18.549-08:00Frederick, I feel the same way.

Actually the Enterprise on this one didn't look too bad, but I always thought this illustration was one of the cooler looking covers, just the 'coldness of space' look was eerie, yet neat. <br /><br />Agreeing with '4th Doctor', yes, this WAS the prime time for Trekdom, prior to the franchise 'beast' sucking up all the fun and energy and making it all seem corporate. That's why I loved the 20yr Galactica con I went to back in '98 in LA ~ It was fun, no $40 fees for someone's autograph, it was all still grass-roots in nature, and the actors like Richard Hatch were easily having a fun time with fans. <br /><br />Same with the Space:1999 convention with Barry Morse a few years back in Tampa, actually having in-depth, non-geek conversations with actors..david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7549866670428042217.post-48367338509418535182010-03-11T17:58:16.046-08:002010-03-11T17:58:16.046-08:00I know our friend Jay will agree with you there!

At the time I suppose they looked modern, but now there is a retro beauty to them.The 4th Doctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12411279555092075775noreply@blogger.com
