Star Trek: TOS was the first science fiction show I watched. My father introduced me to it when I was about 6. From there, it was all downhill...
How awesome to have classes on Star Trek and sci-fi in general. I'm surprised MIT didn't offer such classes... they'd be very oversubscribed. Haha, they'd probably degenerate into arguments over warp field dynamics.
The poster would seem to indicate that the new movie would be set in the TOS timeframe. Which makes me curious as to what they'd do, as so many of the TOS actors have passed on.
