Television historians are familiar with Star Trek's bow. In the first two seasons (which aired from 1966 to 1968), he struggled to attract a huge audience. However, quietly in the background, the series accumulates a small but avid cult of scientific nervousness and lovers of utopia. When news emerged that CBS would cancel "old Trek" after its second season, a letter writing campaign (led by BCO and Johnon Trimbl) barely managed to save him. Of course, her third season was not more popular than the first two, so CBS canceled the series after 78 episodes (79, if you consider "managers" as two parts).

"Starwater Trails", however, landed sweet, sweet union agreement, allowing him to stay in the repetition of many, many years. It was not in the early 1970s, the play grew from a niche cult-scientific series in a cultural phenomenon. The fans began to be with each other, conventions were being held, and creator Ein Bornboys began talking about "Star Trek" with the new wave of paths that had just formed. Indeed, I am personally convinced that Born Boys did not fully realize the utopian ideals of his own series until he was in the 1970s congressional circuit.

Of course, those discussions were in retrospect, and we can certainly talk all day in the abstract of how "old Trek" promised a promising future for mankind. It is much harder to do so as you suffer through the episodes of Season 3 like the "Spack Brain", "Road to One", or the real terrible "cracker intruder", all ranks between The worst episodes of Star Trek. While the series can be light and calm, it is not always good.

Indeed, Spock actor Leonard Nimoy, while happy to see Star Trek, regained his popularity, once Received in an interview with TV Academy That he was facilitated when the "Starvala Trek" was canceled. Why? Because he also acknowledged that it slipped into quality.

As can be expected, Nimoy was ambivalent about the end of "Star Trek". It was, of course, a profitable gig for him, but he hated how bad he was. As he said:

"I had a lot of mixed feelings about it. My concern was always writing. Writing, writing, writing. It's always about writing.

Nimoy even called "Spack's Brain" by name. In that episode, one alien species infiltrates USS and absorbent with the title of cranial organ. Spack is kept alive, but his brain is gone. His body is then equipped with an electronic device that allows friends to walk through a remote control. In the end, his brain was found wired in a computer of the nearby foreign world (where it is used to maintain the planet's infrastructure). Not a good episode.

Nimoy noted that the new team of producers brought for Star Trek Season 3 was not as careful as the one in front of them. "The new producers had no sense of the show," he explained, "and therefore they could not convey the proper sense of writers. And the material they bought was not a good" Star Trek ".

Of course, season 3 contains some great episodes. ("Is there any in the truth, no beauty?" "Star Trek" was saved from the offspring, but there were very dark markings against it on the road there.
