Is it time to retire TOS?

[Shawnster]

I thought they retired Star Trek in 1969 and that it did better in retirement than it ever did before.

As long there are enough viewers to watch TOS will not need to retire. However I don't think Star Trek will survive after Generation X (my age group) are part of the circle of life.

Where's a CumberNOPE when you need it?

Ridiculous thread.

Beyond ridiculous.

Is it time to retire Shakespeare? Is it time to retire the Beatles? Is it time to retire Gone With The Wind? Is it time to retire The Godfather? Is it time to retire the original Star Trek?

No, of course not. It will NEVER be time.

There are tons of millennials who love TOS. I'm one myself. And as long as there's interest in Trek generally, there will be interest in seeing where it began.

TOS finished in the late 60s dude.

It simply ceased production, dude. It's far from finished.

TOS will survive. The next step in the near future.....a Holodeck powered by Microsoft Windows 1000 that allows fans to totally immerse themselves in TOS.

Is it time to retire RAMA's posts?

There is no doubt RAMA gains a few readers here and there but that's probably a small minority of new posters, and despite a new thread that went a long way to modernizing his profile, I find very little interest in reading RAMA's posts these days. I had a brief resurgence of interest around the first post of this thread, read a few replies, and nothing since...rarely before that date either. This from a fan who probably read his comments as much as anyone. Am I simply spent? Is he making idiotic arguments about a show he no longer likes? Or does RAMA just not tick off the boxes of modern interest?

 

[Warp Core Breach]

Wow, what a stupid premise to base a thread upon. The most tragic thing is he probably spent a lot of time thinking about it before posting it.
