You lasted longer than most.

 

[Mytran]

That includes the finale then? http://trekbbs.com/showthread.php?p=4897282#post4897282
I'm curious, which other episodes did you watch?

 

[Winterwind]

And here I thought, considering the forum, that you'd given up on TOS...

ENT has it's moments. Not many of them, but it does have them.

But yah, odd viewing choices to comment on in the TOS forum.

Gee. Thanks for sharing your overwhelming negativity. We appreciate your attention. So glad you hate the series that made your other, more likeable series possible. Please feel free to let us know what else you hate? Rather than remain silent, we must all go out of our way to denigrate what others love. That's the true spirit of "Star Trek"!

Oh, wait -- I thought this was the mirror universe. Cancel that.

I'll update my records.

Just curious: Which four episodes?

 

[Skellington]

I bought the first season on DVD a few years ago and also lasted four episodes, though I did watch the extras. Managed the full season in remastered form, but that 48 or 49 minute running time is a drag with most episodes. There are some episodes that I would consider bona fide classics, though; eg This Side Of Paradise, a funny and entertaining polemic.

What, you can't pay attention to a story for 50 minutes? I suppose Lawrence of Arabia is just another yawner as well.

And here I find the condensed running times of modern Trek to force such a truncated feeling story-telling style.

I've had the DVDs and blu-rays for a while, but every now and then, I rediscover a scene that had been cut for syndication and it's always a joy to see the subtle fullness of TOS scenes as written.

This thread makes me sad.

And people wonder where the "ADHD Generation" comments come from...

Worse, the A/B plot structures cut even more time from the main storyline. Can't just focus on the new planet, we've got to find out about Data's cat troubles as well.

I often find myself appreciating how in Bab 5 which is very A/B the B storyline advances character development and often major plot points. If that's not going on the A/B thing can feel like they just didn't have enough A to tell so here's some filler. In the middle of a war or hugely important episode it's insulting.

Oh, I'm sure plenty of people thought Star Trek was boring in 1966.

While revisiting TNG I found this often drove me nuts. I found myself thinking stick to the main story because there's something worthy and interesting there. I don't give a shit about the cat.

Just another troll in here trying to piss on TOS.
