[QUOTE]Originally posted by Treknophyle: [QB] We did discuss the effects - but only that they were cool (watch an old Twilight Zone, Lost in Space, or The Invaders episode for comparison). Our discussion groups (which evolved into the old Star Trek clubs - one of which, here in Vancouver, is still going strong after 30+ years), centered around the stories, what had happened, what it said about the characters, what we could infer about the Federation, Starfleet, and alien races, etc. This kept us actively meeting (no internet) every week - still does. The allure it still holds can't be nostalgia - I also watched the other shows I've mentioned, and except for a few Twilight Zone eps ('To Serve Man') - I have no interest in seeing any of them. Nor did we gather to discuss them at length. But we did gather in droves for TOS - so much so that TPTB saw fit to reanimate the show in the form of movies and sequel series. We were there, and Thoughtchopper's analysis is flawed: Nostalgia isn't it. Nor is it great writing. It was that so-far indefinable 'sense of wonder'. [/QB][/QUOTE]
