Hey, thanks @augustopedro! Could you add a comment about why this is awesome?

peadalmeida commented 8 years ago

Yeah, of course! I'll add the rest of the Star Trek spin-offs later.

Question. I tried watching it some time back, but found it slow and boring so I gave up. Does it get better after a while or is it just not for me?

You have to had watched it at the age of 10 and than you'll find it awesome forever :smiley:

The Original Series, in many ways, is Star Trek at its purest. It's true that it could be campy and slow, but don't mistake that for it being unsophisticated. It was very smartly written, and while it can vary wildly in quality (like many shows from the 60's) it has a solid philosophical core, and often had some interesting things to say.

Plus, I'm not sure the franchise has ever quite topped the amazing chemistry between Shatner, Nimoy, and Kelly. It's worth watching for them alone.

@augustopedro Thanks, I guess I'll try again with a more open mind! Your above comment is great, can you add that too to the readme?

Perfect! :)
