[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] I didn't say all. I said many. The thesis, as it were, was that TOS was never really "hard" science fiction in any way that TNG wasn't. Their reasons for success were similar, as were their target audiences. The presence of a few notable science fictioney scripts penned by noted science fiction authors (as opposed to many notable science fictioney scripts penned by TV guys like Coon, or many notable not-particularly-science-fictioney scripts penned by noted science fiction authors) is held up too often as evidence of TOS being targeted at a science fiction elite in ways latter trek hasn't been. Baloney. TOS was a populist show, just as all its spinoffs have been. And that populism, as Simon pointed out, arises from the fact that Trek "was a drama that happened to be set in outer space, not a drama about outer space"<sup>1</sup>. --- <font size=-3> <sup>1</sup>: Sizer, S.W.
