Star Trek was cheap, but the intent is what matters. Twilight Zone was also cheap, but it remained significant to pop culture for so long that 50 years later people still made regular jokes about it. Not one streaming show will be discussed half a century after it came out. Not one IP made this decade will still be talked about for as long as Star Trek has been.
>Trek was cheap
Is a fricking myth. The minimal look of the sets and the models was a design choice, they still cost a frickton of money to make. People point at the background props and laugh at the squeezy bottles or whatever, completely ignorant of the fact those were rare as frick at the time and the show chose to use them because they looked "space age" and futuristic to the audiences of the day, because you fricking normieBlack person NPCs can't shift your perspective outside of your own modern experience. It was a major television production that built a lot of sets and props and models, you have to be a literal subnormal moron to believe it was "cheap".

Star Trek was comparatively expensive to make, that's part of the reason it got canceled despite having good ratings. There was also a change of leadership in the studio iirc and they wanted to substitute in their preferred lineup of shows.
All trek shows had stinkers but the old ones were at least earnest and maintained the optimistic tone of the series instead of being futuristic misery porn like BM.
Some of Black Mirror wasn't terrible. But I'd like to use a fire extinguisher to cave in the skulls of people who thought a sci-fi anthology show talking about le current times was ground breaking.
This isn't even a twitter screencap. You wrote the tweet but didn't post it. You can see the red highlight is because you went over the character limit. This is new levels of schilling
probably because even the most moronic agenda driven university shill knows he can't get away with trying to pretend nu trek is better than actual star trek
What's so special about this ep? I just looked it up and it's low effort slop at best. Doesn't hold a candle to the borg episode, or the one with the enterprise getting destroyed in a loop.
>that episode about a giant killer lasagna is better written and more emotional than anything modern writers can shit out
It's a pretty sad state of affairs that it has come to this.
Anyone know where I can find (without torrenting, my ISP doesn't allow it) good, high quality rips of The Original Series without all the LucasFilms-level "enhancements" the shit out onto bluray?

>Woah dude is this cheap 70s science fiction?! OMG just like Tarkovsky!

Doesn't help they release all episodes of. Season at once.

>old good new bad le this but le unironically

This must be where all these people go to get their media literacy degrees

"star trek looks like tarkovsky" - smartest twitter user
old good new bad ironically and unironically

why was he comparing old star trek with a goofy parody instead of modern star trek?
>implying modern Trek isn't a goofy parody
because the goofy parody was better
probably because even the most moronic agenda driven university shill knows he can't get away with trying to pretend nu trek is better than actual star trek
look at this nonsense
>going to film school
>not just going to films
what was the trek episode i wonder.
probably city on the edge of forever, that's the one some film school gay would have heard of

So you don't know
it plays out like a 60s romance so it's appealing to film students who don't like sci fi
the prof just showed this

>Picard
It's supposed to be Barclay for frick's sake
The frick, why did they use Picard instead of Barclay
Why do pseuds namedrop Tarkovsky so much? Jesus frick it's annoying
