I check in fairly regularly but don't interact as much. I have been busy over the last year or so writing articles and opinions about Star Trek TOS in a number of Facebook groups including one with 200,000 members. I recently helped create a TOS only group and am now a co administrator with almost 25k members and counting. However recently I have been wanting to re read all of my Donaldson books and hope to have a few fresh opinions to share here. 🖖

Really?
I'm curious, why?
I downloaded both the remastered and original graphics 3 seasons.
Sometimes I'm in the mood for the old style stuff but I prefer the remastered.
Everything is crisp and the colors are nice.
It's fun to compare episodes.
Seeing the re-imagined details on the surface of the planets behind the Enterprise in many opening scenes is wonderful.

To be fair I haven't tried the remastered ones...but I grew up with TNG and even then ToS just looked cheesy to me...and it's only gotten worse as things have progressed. I don't have the nostalgia factor to fall back on...apart from TMP and WoK I don't think I'd even seen any of them before I saw TNG.

I find that as I get older I have a lot less to say, but I still check in from time to time. :D
