it was colorful, indignant, and showed things that no one dared. god like beings that were once men, blacks kissing whites. women smart and in power. aliens that were friendly and better, smarter, with no crippling emotions. doctors drinking and no smoking. women were sexy and essential. black people making insane computers that killed whole other equal ships, instead of putting air in people's tires, Russians. I don't know what could follow the template these days. we lived lives we never could thru those episodes, even in the re-runs ten years later from the original. lost in space just celebrated 50 years of loyal fandom. UFO, star trek, the invaders, planet of the apes even Land of the lost, lol, will soon follow. its more that retro-recollection, its part of history. what was going on back then? women burning their bras, getting to vote and divorce at will, earning equal pay for equal work , being allowed to work in ''men's'' fields. not being barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen mostly. sesame street to teach children what the schools were failing to do. busing children to schools of their economic and color levels. Vietnam vets coming home. acid rock. nudity in movies. long hair. beards. burning draft cards hell no we wont go. a real look at some of asia and the Philippines besides what jerry lewis had to show us. pollution and fighting against pollution drug gurus like timothy Leary. landing on the moon. the end of the world from nuclear war. free sex or love as they called it. smoking weed and dropping out, living in abandoned houses in communes to avoid being ''the man''. saying ''like'' like a million times like in one sentence like, ya know/ groovy. police brutality. riding motorcycles. peace marches. vw bugs. all the taboos of the under-culture suddenly being at the dinner tale conversations. non of that stuff was ever in your face before 1965 much. what could be like star trek today? I don't know. our entire perspective changed and was elevated to a new level that we cant go back to ever again by the crew of star trek living out their adventures. sorry to preach. great job on the model by the way , again.
