70s Star Trek

So I ended up watching an old school Star Trek episode tonight, I've never cared for Star Trek much, I think because I've only seen the newer episodes and the aliens on the show always make me a little uneasy. They are just too similar to humans in form, but they definetely aren't humans. Anyway I have never seen the William Shatner era of Star Trek before and I found myself really enjoying it. It has the vintage show feel to it, like "I dream of Jeanie", "Gilligan's Island" and such. I love the women with the big flipped hair and fake eye lashes and the men who have the bangs combed to the side and the rest of their hair combed all the way back. It was pretty awesome. I also never realised how ahead of their time Star Trek was, with their multi-racial cast and all. With the scottish man, the african woman, asian man, and Spock whatever he is. I found it kind of interesting because of all the 70s shows and movies I've seen (at least early 70s) I haven't noticed much racial diversity. I just found that observation kind of interesting. It was an overal pleasant experience.
