I think the technology and effects are mostly to blame for their take on it, I agree. Some shows made 20-40 years ago do look pretty hilarious now, in that respect.

Well yeah, that show has never taken itself seriously, or had that big a budget.

I find it interesting how there seem to be a lot of people who like the new movies but can't stand the series or the old movies. What is it that makes the new movies "cool" to so many people & the old stuff not?

technology and graphics over storyline

Modern-day Doctor Who is another example of sci-fi becoming a "normal" thing to like. Same with superhero movies making comic books "cool".

The directing was fantastic honestly

A lot of sci-fi tends to age badly.

2001 is still the best looking sci-fi ever made imo and that is from 1968, but Kubrick was a genius of course. Puts Star Wars to shame in terms of visuals imo.

2001 on another level

That doesn't make the story less boring.

It does. I was watching the final HAL scene just last night.

Have any of you guys watched Star Trek? Years ago I tried giving The Original Series a try but it was just too "old" for my liking.

I started watching The Next Generation about a year ago, and I have been hooked ever since. I'm a pretty slow TV watcher, I get busy with school and work, etc. but I'm on Season 3 right now of TNG. I hope to finish TNG and then move onto Deep Space Nine.

There's something about this show…it may be corny but I can't stop watching it. It has an incredible charm.

I was just wondering if there were any fellow 'Tuz members that watch Trek?

I like TNG, DS9 and Voyager. To help you get acquainted with DS9:

Quark is one of my favourite characters on it.

Never got into the original series but I think I should

You must

TNG & VOY episodes are much more 'interesting' and complex but TOS has much better chemistry between characters, more weirdness and novelty

Looking dated is not a bad thing, it makes TOS lovable in a genuine way.

(Way better than shit ass navigators whining about their pronouns and talking back to the captain in NuTrek anyway)

I've watched some TNG in my childhood

I started with that too, because it was on TV all the time

The bridge is yours, I've got business on the holodeck to attend to.

TOS and TNG are a lot more formulaic, but can't argue about the legendary casts. DS9 you get to see more character development and depth.

DS9 was also the start of preserving continuity between series
