Now, can James make some of the fantastic machines in Startrek actually work? It would take quite a scientist to do that.

I must say i´m touched, young lad. :) Good job and keep on writing!

Nice to see Quinto attending conventions, and glad to see that he´s a good sport about it, unlike some snobs that aren´t worth mentioning.

About Avery Brooks…gosh, he has Sisko written all over him, guess he wasn´t acting as Sisko, he was just being himself. What a great character he is!

its so great to see a youngster like this appreciating TOS. its just wonderful to see him up there in full original series uniform.

on the other hand how satisfying must it be for mt nimoy to see young kids like james t in a mr spock uniform. after all these years his iconic character still appeals to new generations.

well done son. you”ll treasure those pictures believe me. i enjoyed seeing and reading this.

#39 “I’m actually amazed that someone of his age would even like TOS.”

I’m not really surprised. TOS fires up the imagination like none of the others can. IF you can get a kid to watch it befor they become jaded and cynical (those wonderful teenage years) The show is so colorful and fun with stories so wildly imaginative and different that kids really get into it. Younger kids like it because of the fact that they battle lizard men, greek gods and doomsday machines. They love the adventure of the fist to fist, roll in the dirt, tear your shirt action that is in much of TOS, yet practically non-existent in the spin-offs. The beauty of TOS is that you can latch on to those “child-like” interests as a child, but as you grow up, you will continue to be rewarded by the various layers of storytelling and film-making that will make you appreciate the show on completely different levels.

TOS is truly the gift that keeps on giving. The real trick in this day and age of satellite TVs, internet and the xbox, is exposure and getting kids to give it a chance. I think JJ’s Trek, just by association, will serve as a bridge for many a new fan to cross and discover the greatness of classic Star Trek.
