OP
Almost everything that we thought was in the crazy future on Star Trek, has come true. No teleportation but otherwise.

But the airlines cartel has suppressed it. Just like oil companies suppressed the discovery of dilithium crystals. 😉

I love the original Star Trek.
I like all the Star Trek movies and series.
The original will always be my favorite.
I miss Spock.
I think about him often.

The next season of Strange New Worlds will be available next month.
It features "Hot Spock" as he was once called by another character.
As for myself, I do not notice such things about the characters.

(50,587 posts)10. I really enjoyed Strange New Worlds
It might be my favorite after The Next Generation. Anson Mount plays a great captain. Discovery was my least favorite. I couldn't even finish it.

Healthier than vodka, although the two go together nicely.
