I sincerely can't get over how much I love Star Trek. The original series is one of the most inventive things ever. When watching it you catch things that make you laugh but also seriously consider how inventive the creators are. For example, some of Dr. McCoy's instruments were salt shakers. I love that the creators found something so ordinary and saw it as a tool of the future. There has to be that consideration that there are things in "the future" not capable of being made and they have to work with what's on hand and best fits the image they have for this futuristic thing. Star Trek was also really ground breaking for the special effects industry from make-up to props. It was kind of ground breaking for every industry in the movie making/ Hollywood world, and even technologically. There's a documentary called How William Shatner Changed the World and it shows the true impact of all things Star Trek. And seriously every episode is a new adventure. I love it so much I can't even handle it. Gah.
Another reason I decided to blog about it was because Ms. Hofland made me think about it during class when she was talking about the jar of water and glitter being used as a time out method, because they definitely used a water and glitter combination filmed upside down to create the original transporter effect on Star Trek... It's the little things.
