The Motion Picture was my first piece of Star Trek. The white-sleeved longer cut (with the unfinished VFX) at the ripe age of 4 years old. And I was in love. As much as Kirk loved The Enterprise, I loved The Enterprise. TMP inspired one of my earliest nightmares in the form of drifting towards the V'ger cloud. The first six movies, and the original series, are my favorite of all Star Trek. TNG and Deep Space Nine are neck and neck for second place depending on my mood and what episode we're talking about, but, those six movies, with Star Trek 3 being my personal favorite out of the lot... I don't think Star Trek will ever be that good again. You can't replace having 10-20 year actors playing characters, with that veteran, seasoned, level of experience. Shatner was so comfortable with himself as Kirk in the movies, and everyone else plays their roles so effortlessly. Like a second skin. It's funny, because that was one of the biggest reasons I was not a fan of the JJ films at all. I just couldn't buy any, even Karl Urban as much as I love him, as those characters. The OG crew are so cemented into those characters, and indeed they made them what they are, that I can't ever accept a substitute. When Bill Shatner goes, it will be like a father died, for me. His Kirk helped raise me, and teach me, as a child. On the topic of Kirk's pushing for the warp engines to be engaged so soon, the interesting thing about TMP as a whole is that it's about healing. Kirk's, never-say-die attitude is one of his traits. He'll be the first man to step into a dangerus situation and face it head on. In TMP that ambitious and brave attitude has mutated into this desperation to prove that he can still be in command. He's basically having a mid-life crisis at the start. And yet, his usual Kirkness shines through when he realizes that Decker had protected the ship and crew where he had endangered it, and he repeatedly accepts Decker's hip checking throughout the story, until by the end he has refound his balance. (Also, having his friends at his side once again to council him like angels on the shoulders.) On the topic of aesthetics, I love the movie era so much. Not just the Big E, but all the space stations, the interiors, the props. The Klingon ships. Even the radical stuff like Excelsior and Grissom still fits beautifully into the visual lexicon of this era from 2270 to 2295. It's a world ripe to explore. I'm also a sucker for that era of film making and what future history looked like. Blade Runner, Alien, Terminator. All of these films speak with similar voices to the TOS Trek movies. I wish that the Trek movie era had gotten the Alien Isolation treatment. By that I mean, a modern developed PC game that focused on authentically recreating those sets, environments, props, and telling a story in that era of Star Trek. With gameplay mechanics inspired by something like KOTOR or Mass Effect, with a focus on adventure, character, etc. I think that would be amazing. Likely, it will never happen. It has seemed since the 90s that particular era of Trek has been forgotten.

Oh man you should have been born in 71 then you'd have a really strong memory of going to the theater to see these movies LOL

Check out my Justice League fan trailer✌🏿 ua-cam.com/video/5Fs3P0jB6wE/v-deo.htmlsi=9K9PcZpOvyls5vJu

Writing any SUPERMAN stories will be challenging & difficult. The movie won't be perfect, but it needs to be really good ✌🏿

I had the pleasure of reading Our Kind of People after checking it out from my local library and it is truly a fascinating book. I did not grow up upper class, but I grew up middle class. My life began in a three-story house in the suburbs of Atlanta, raised by my wonderful mother who is a disabled veteran and her adoptive parents were longtime prominent educators. Grandma and Granddad attended HBCUs, obtained masters degrees, and were members of Delta Sigma Theta and Omega Psi Phi respectively. Mom was always raised in the suburbs and so was I. Grandma wanted Mom to be a debutante, but she immediately refused. Granddad didn't have a vacation home, but he did have a timeshare. Grandma traveled frequently to the Caribbean and Europe.

Kirstie Alley was beautiful. Had to be hard for Saavik to see her mentor, Spock die. That story had so much to it. I relate to it differently as an adult in a different way. Kirstie was also great in the movie Runaway as Gene Simmons's girlfriend.

Sounds very BORING 🥱🥱🥱🥱🥱😴😪 to me.. Any "other" reading material out there ⁉️⁉️⁉️😎😎😎😎

We know who is running America into the ground. America First, you know who!!!!!

This video should have gotten more views 👍

He killed him self (committed suicide) in both series. He’s a good actor but it would be better if he takes roles where he is not killing himself. 😢😢😢😢😢😢 The writers of the Acolyte could have written in the storyline that he fought Mae and then died like Master Indara. That’s just my opinion. Thanks for this video

I loved the new wonder years, I can’t believe they canceled it.

Nice channel. The wormhole aliens have always been the most fascinating aliens in all of Star Trek. Great discussion.

😎Hello. Thank you for sharing your recommendations on the book "Our Kind of People." Besides reading the Holy Bible it is my second favorite book to read. I first read the Our Kind of People book in 2001. What I was experiencing in my earlee teenage years Summer playground, Jack and Jill informals, Baptist and Methodist Churches and young adult years attending Oral Roberts University in the South, landing an entry level position in the North in the City. I could relate in the reading. Great Arthur, Great Book. 2024. ❤️🙏🏾💪🏾📚🇺🇸

When dr Umar called him out he died like a week later what a coincidence!😂

I didn’t give it much of a chance, I’ll be honest. I wondered if this was going to be “The Wonder Years” or the “Racism Years”. I was one minute in and racism was mentioned, so I shut it off. Racism is a heavy topic and I didn’t want to do heavy. Maybe especially because I’m white and this was going to be a show about how whites treated blacks like dirt in 60s Alabama, which is true. But it’s not something I want to watch for fun. Cosby Show, Family Matter’s, Fresh Prince, all shows from my childhood that I loved. They had deep moments and touched on Racism here and there and it was profound when they did. But mostly they were fun. This show might have been as well, I don’t know, because it lost me in the first minute (I should have watched more really). I think Cheadle made a strategic error here. Obviously you can’t have a show set in 1960s Alabama and not bring up racism. But maybe establish the fun part first and make us feel connected to the family before delving into the racial elements. Anyway, just my thoughts.

We are in the era of pushing “black excellence”, because folks are tired of championing poverty culture that propagates poverty standards. Our kind of People exposes the other Black America that we must allow to thrive before it goes extinct.

I'm Gen Z. I love the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. I love Do the Right Thing

Wassup Doc 😂, yo i havent caught up to the later episodes after the loss of merxys(sp) i couldn't take seeing a dragon die, im prepping for this epic slaughter thats coming down the road..im kinda disappointed they're extending this entire show for 2 more seasons leading up to the epic conclusions...im bracing for the finale

A Memphian-life long, here. (R. S. Lewis Funeral Home, who cared for MLK’s body, still exists.) This “was” the Funeral Home for the bourgeoisie.

I got the book too

thank God... it was garbage and just ruined the memory of one of the greatest shows made... and I was good friends with Dule Hill in high-school!!

😂😂😂😂😂😂

The episode was so good martin had to come out on social media thanking everyone..a strong contender for the greatest episode ever...

I have this book, purchased years ago. Very interesting black history. Not, being part of the elite, we still knew of them as a child, Jack & Jill, Boule , brown paper bag etc. I find most of their stories fascinating and inspiring, we black folks aren’t a monolith. Some of these are families that have passed down generational wealth. Isn’t that we are all striving for?

I agree with you, brother. They call it programming, and it's getting out of hand.

The acolyte was disappointing

You literally described "Art." TO change minds and feels based on creative works. Who told you to be angry at this show?

You didn't say anything substantial. Blathering

‘Why do you care about a show for kids?!’ is exactly why we should concerned.

im hate watching or rather pirating it.. my sons refused to watch it they seem to think star wars is lame and for girls but once i explained to my older son that you have to watch it like it’s a comedy we sat and cringed and laughed the entire episode haha

True information!Black & Educated.

True information!Black & Educated.

Don't know. Amd I'll never know. Because Star Wars now is a joke man.

How on earth people think this is a love triangle!? Paul LITERALLY TAKING IRULAN AS HOSTAGE LABELLED AS WIFE. HE HATES IRULAN AND SHE HATES HIM BACK. PAUL is a spectacular bastard to Irulan.

This review was good. I am currently reading this book with my book club. I first saw the author on Oprah years ago. Enjoying the book.

Well, I'll tell you, I remember The Fall Guy back in the 1980s, and I remember when I first heard about this movie I thought, that's weird, that was the name of a cool show starring Lee Majors back in the 80s, this doesn't look anything like it. It came across as a chick-flick/romantic comedy that I'd NEVER waste my money on. Lee Majors was cool. Ryan Goslin is a beta-male chick-flick actor. Hell, Grace Randolph was swooning over him, so I had ZERO INTEREST in it. Is it fair? Maybe not, but life isn't fair. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I thought it was the best movie I've paid to see this year.

Movie ticket and concession prices are insane. For a family you pay now easily 120 bucks. Why even bother.
