Do you miss the original crew?

Just Seven of Nine ending up in the TOS era. It is actually a pretty good read.
And the 'voices' are spot on. That's one of the things that makes it so enjoyable.
Word. I still do. I watched the new films and they're ok, but imo they're just not as good. Something's missing. The first one was fun and the chemistry was there, but for some reason in the second one, it wasn't there. It seemed dead/missing.
Hard to say. I don't think any of us can predict what today's kids are going to remember fondly thirty years from now.
Surely nobody back in 1969 could have predicted that we'd still be watching a cancelled sci-fi show fifty years later!
That's true. I remember thinking that I missed out on the good stuff when I first started watching reruns in 1972!
Heh. That much is certain. If I'll still alive and kicking 30 years from now (possible, if I don't get hit by a bus between now and then), I'll have to remember this thread. *grin*
Thanks, everyone. I had actually never written Seven before, so I binged on Seven-centric VOYAGER episodes just to get her voice down.
Speaking of voices, Greg, whose do you hear speaking the lines when you're writing Kirk and Spock, Shatner and Nimoy or Pine and Quinto?
I'd be willing to bet real money it's Shatner and Nimoy.
I'd be willing to bet real money it's Shatner and Nimoy.
Of course, it would be. Because the novels he is writing are TOS novels and he's been a fan and writing for far longer than the Abrams movies have existed.
Exactly, which is not a commentary on the new movies. When I'm writing a TOS novel with Shatner and Nimoy on the cover, I try to make them sound like on TOS.
When I wrote my (aborted) NuTrek novel, I tried hard to make Kirk sound like Chris Pine.
(Spock pretty much sounds like Spock, regardless of the timeline.)
People expecting Kirk and Seven having a love affair will be disappointed. Kirk is anxious to preserve the timeline. Lucsley and Dulmur were nowhere to be seen, though. 
Fair enough.
Just for fun, though: How is that different from, say, Spock or Scotty popping up on TNG? Or Picard running into Kirk?
In that case, no, because we still do have that same crew in new adventures. Not the same actors of course, but basically the same result.
That's the way he usually was on the show.
As for the question posted? No, I don't. Said original crew is back in new movies, and that's enough for me. How others see the actors in said new movies (I don't know how the frack a bunch of thirty-somethings are even considered 'kids' by some of you all here) is something up to those who think that.
I'm 47. I don't think of the new crew that way.
You're only 45? You young whippersnapper, you.
What, you thought I was older? Give me a minute, and I will be!
Oh, and thanks for calling me a whippersnapper. It's been quite a while since anybody called me that. I think Clinton was still president......
Unless Bill runs again.Similar threads
