9. The remastering of TOS: George Lucas with SW:SE started the ball rolling. It was a rare occurrence for this much attention to be paid to a TV show and it's restoration. I had anticipated that moment since early Digital Stream test footage years before.

@RAMA , you have to know that posting more than twice in a row is considered spamming. There's a lot of good stuff here that's worth taking the time to absorb...spacing out the posts to give others a chance to respond to each one would have been preferable. I'll give you a Friendly this time, and recommend avoiding this sort of posting pattern in the future.

Unfortunately the format of the board wouldn't let me post 20 videos at once...so a necessity.

And posting 20 videos in a row is a form of spamming in itself, regardless of how many threads they're divided between. Any further comments should be via PM.
 
^ Wow, I've never even seen that video before, I cried almost all the way through it. If anything sums up Star Trek for me, it's that video. Here's to 50 years of great moments that remind us of how great our potential is!!!
Trek on!!!

Nope, does not fit the definition of spamming:

I really liked it too. Unusually affecting. The video speaks for itself, really no comment necessary.

It certainly does, especially when you started a second thread. It would have been much better to post a few at a time and allow feedback, and others to post theirs. In any event you could have just accepted TOM's friendly and moved on. But no....

After the moderator instructed you to drop it and address him by PM if you had any further problems, you chose to argue with him again, further derailing the thread. You've been around for a long time, and you know how it works.

So now I'm telling you to drop it. Period. Otherwise you'll receive a warning and this thread will be closed.
 
Another great moment I have to include!

NBC on air announcement of star trek 3rd season 1968, though I can find no record of it :-)
