/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

The effects for this episode were way beyond what was expected of tv for the time, and the premise of a long dead species that sent out an automated planet killer is awesome.
I can't imagine what audiences in the 60s thought when this episode aired. It's still really cool to watch today (I prefer seeing the original effects to the remastered version too).
For real. I have a 32" CRT dedicated to watching TOS and the rarely used SNES. Shows from that era are better viewed in the intended format, I think. My copy of TOS is too high quality. It makes it easy to spot foam rocks on the set if I just watch it on my computer.
you know I just realized I still have an old 7" b/w CRT laying around somewhere in the garage
OMG, those "kitchen tvs" - my mom had one.
In HD you can very clearly see where the hairpiece ends and Shatner's hair begins every time you see the back of his head.
