I certainly know what you mean about the elements of humanity still shining through all of the tech. Perhaps we'll see a great deal of it. I hope so.

I too think Abrams has taken his Trek to a darker place than the original series overall. However, ST:Tos had may dark moments as well. What I like about the new Trek film, soon to be films, is that the films stress the humanity over the technology, despite the enormous amount of tech in the film(s). I have faith that despite the terrorist aspect of the film, STID will still be a powerfull and uplifting Star Trek adventure.Fritz "Doc" Freakensteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13209589620766485745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1031498593064294214.post-10805602850676618272012-12-25T09:40:51.816-05:002012-12-25T09:40:51.816-05:00Thanks Michael.

And Susan Oliver was easily one of the most pioneering women in the field during this decade and the one that followed, as Wikipedia covered so well in their bio of her:<br /><br />"<i>By the late 1970s, with acting assignments becoming scarcer, Oliver turned to directing. She was one of the original nineteen women admitted to the American Film Institute's Directing Workshop for Women (AFI DWW) "who, upon her untimely death, left a good chunk of funding for the DWW."</i>"<br /><br />As well, Susan in green make-up, as the Orion slave girl, had to be <i>the</i> most electrifying (see arousing) moment in my young years when I caught this episode first-run. Still does, in fact. Great piece of writing and appreciation, my friend. Well done.le0pard13https://www.blogger.com/profile/09421175808461787862noreply@blogger.com
