I'm gonna chock it up to apples and oranges. They're fruit but they aren't the same. Sometimes ya want an orange (Firefly) and sometimes you wouldn't mind a little slice of apple (Star Trek), and then there's peaches but I don't want to complicate things.

I'm guessin' peaches to be of the Skywalker variety, hmm?

So on a scale o' 10:
Oranges get 10, 'cause every one is sweet and juicy.
Apples get a 8, 'cause many are excellent, but more'n a few got worms in 'em.
Peaches get a 7, 'cause the first few was tasty, but the last three were all sour and unrecognizable.

I love my fruit and I think Kaylee would agree as well. =goes off to the land of the space monkeys=

I agree with almost all of Card's assessment of the original Star Trek. That's how I felt about it when it was originally broadcast, but I watched much of it 'cause it was the only SF on TV. The only thing I disagree with is Leonard Nimoy's charisma. I didn't find him charismatic as Paris in 'Mission: Impossible', nor as the psychiatrist in the remake of 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers', nor as Theo in his one-man show "Vincent". I don't remember him in anything else.

The fellow who wrote this is an idiot, plain and simple. You can't piss on 30+ years worth of star trek lore without looking foolish, when you claim it's all in bad taste. It obviously caught on for a reason, aside from "the first sci-fi".

Too bad the author of this particular column is too narrow-minded to see why.
