I once met Takai at a convention, and he is very, nice, gracious gentleman. I think Shatner is a little to arogant and self centered my my tastes.

I don't think he and Shatner ever settled their differences. I think he provided the link to Shatnes site because he doesn't seem to be the type to go around trying to turn everyone away from someone just because he doesn't like them. Like a said -- a gentleman and a gentle-man

Spocks Brain was the worse thing I've ever seen on TV.

I didn't like way to Eden, but not for the reason others do. I was offended by the way hippies were portrayed as Stupid crazy people. (heck I was a hippy at the time).

And ya all got to remember, 60's TV shows were about the 60's -- no matter how they dressed them up. The issues were 60's issues. And sometimes Trek hit you over the head with them. Like Omega Glory, and the one with Frank Gorshin being black on the wrong side. Those episodes may not fly nowadays, but they did make us thing a little back then

I like the TOS approach but I voted no.  I think due to his importance in the overall mission the Captain should go on away teams only if their is an absolute need for it.

I think he or she should plan and command the expeditions from another location.

I agree 100 percent. I like TOS, but having the captain putting himself in the path of danger every week is no way to run a Star Ship. The Captain is responsible for everyone.

Also Captain are usually a bit older than Kirk, it takes a while to get the wisdom to be Captain -- but by then the body slows down a bit. I'm not talking about old and feeble -- I just talking about the difference between 30 and 50. Let the young'uns do the physical work, let the Captain make the decitions..

I'd wanna be McCoy if I had to pick one of the three, most because I would not want to be the other two. Spcok did have emotions, he just tryed to keep them hidden -- trying to be all Vulcan when he wasn't. Kirk, well he may have gotten all the girls, but he never had a home and family. His only real friends where a crazy half vulcan, and the ships Dr. And the only thing her really loved was made of metal. I kind of feel sorry for them both

McCoy was a more ballanced person -- he had had a wife and child, and he joined Star Fleet as an older man for the adventure. That ship wasn't his life -- just a part of it.

Just because I haven't posted here much I'll tell you that I am a woman and I'm 50 years old, which does make a differnce of how you see things.

I'll be 50 on July 5. Watched the first episode of TOS when I was babysitting my neice. I was what --14 or 15 at the time.

Now I just want to know how I got so old without getting grown.
