Description
In the wake of the modern day Star Trek explosion, and especially Strange New Worlds featuring the crew of Captain Christopher Pike, it only seemed appropriate to journey back five decades to where it all began to compare and contrast without the rose colored glasses. Vinnk and Sean discuss how Star Trek got its second chance with its new pilot, Where No Man Has Gone Before, comment on the costume and character changes that happened slowly (or sometimes very quickly), and review some classic episodes from its amazing 30 episode first season run. And, of course, we compare it to Treks both legacy and modern. Starring: * William Shatner - Captain James T Kirk * Leonard Nimoy - Mr. Spock * DeForest Kelly - Dr. Leonard McCoy * James Doohan - Scotty * George Takei - Sulu * Nichelle Nichols - Lt. Uhura * Grace Lee Whitney - Yeoman Rand Available on Paramont+. Logo by by Louis Lloyd-Judson: https://louistrations.co.uk. This podcast is brought to you by the Nerd & Tie Podcast Network.
