Has 60's Star Trek aged poorly?

Naw, it reflects the ISS better then anything else. The biggest advantage of space exploration now more then ever is unity of cultures. This is opposed to the space race of nationalism before.
It's not a coincidence it can even be blamed on Star Trek in part. Compared to Lost in Space and other 100% white american sci-fi tv shows, having a multicultural crew is something that was REALLY REALLY NEW, that to use is REALLY REALLY CLICHED, yet for space exploration is 100% what is going on NOW more then ever.
but yeah, the graphics are bad.

I mean the Star Trek movies show that it holds up well. you don't see them avoiding the racist stereotypes, they even make checkoffs accent MORE of an issue, not less.
>>68736822
yes

if anything the tv show was TOO PC,which predates the 80 PC wave by a decade... ahead of it's time.

Movies and shows don't age, they aren't living breathing organism. Any film/series that was good then is still good now, provided you watch it understanding the time and place in which it was made and not being a cynical, nitpicking faggot who laughs at shit he doesn't understand or that doesn't fit his jaded modern sensibilities.
Star Trek: TOS is one of the greatest TV shows ever made, definitely worth watching.

That comic has a point!

This. And for the record, Shatner/Kirk is not nearly as bad as pop culture has memed him into being.
>SJWS are triggered by Star Trek
That show was progressive though

What a crock. Go listen to your LPs, gramps.
>>68736822
No, it was the same level of cheese and introspection as it was back then as it is now.
"Star Trek: Continues", captures that very well.
>>68736822
And this comic is full of shit. The creator clearly doesn't know a fucking thing about the 60s.
> What about Sulu?
> A 1960s show with an American and a Russian working together doesn't sound progressive?
> An alien who is part of the crew rather than a villain or monster of the week?
>series features first IR kiss on screen
>modern SJWs think the series isn't "progressive"
Anyone know where I left that button that kills everyone? I seem to have misplaced it.

This. At the time, Star Trek was progressive as fuck. Lot of anti-war, anti-nuke, humanist philosophy. It embodied the real meaning of progressiveness and equality.
Now fucking SJWs are calling it racist.
TOS is great. It's the world that got shitty.

Hell, Roddenberry pushed for gender equality in the cast - Even Uhura needed some heavy negotiating, and the part of Spock was originally written for his wife.
Not to mention there's that whole business with the whole "first interracial kiss" thing - and yes, aliens made them do it, but they were adamant that it be there, to the point of Shatner deliberately sabotaging the attempt to shoot a scene where their lips didn't touch.

Yes, thank you. I hate it when some millennial fag won't watch anything made before 1990 because it's all "aged poorly."

I'd say Star Trek is a show that could be considered to have aged, but it hasn't aged poorly. To me, a show has aged when you can rather clearly tell where and when it was made, and Star Trek TOS definitely has that going on, with its analog clocks in spaceships, cheesy special effects and costumes, and at-times hokey plots. But it's aged far better than most other shows of its time - it was infectiously lighthearted, adventurous, creative, thoughtful, and even when it got heavy-handed, its heart was clearly in the right place.

He was charismatic and good looking. And his oft parodied line delivery doesn't really come off as too unnatural. He has made however some odd acting choices here and there. Especially when something or someone was once again supposed to be affecting his mind. It's always an involuntarily funny moment.

Shatner is great. His trademark line delivery is part of what makes the character. It's unique, without being so over-the-top that it's silly.
