And I don't mean that as an insult. I grew up on this show, and I just
love it, but to read so much into it- well, I just don't know. It was a
fun sci-fi show, far ahead of it's time, and perfect for the sixties.
All the races living and working together (although lead, of course, by
a white male) and exploring the universe and saving it. That seems to be
how we Americans see ourselves- the privledged saviors of the world. It
was comforting growing up, and it's comforting now. I still maintain
that this show is better by far than any of the new Star Treks, or even
of the movies. The big budgets lessened the show for me somehow. Anyway,
I love this show, and it should be watched from episode one all the way
till the end.
