You know what's sad? That made me feel old. AND I'M TWENTY-FIVE. Seriously, as I've said before - fuck everyone under 23. 'Cept Fran. Fran's cool.
As for the cultural decline of Star Trek, that's an inevitability. The show's high-point in cultural relevancy peaked back in TNG (which I've been watching religiously on Spike TV and... goddamn I love that show). Since then, it's been "DS9" (insular character drama, though some key points were raised), "Voyager" (which... well, Jesus Christ, I'm sure you know what I have to say about that steaming pile), and "Enterprise" (which went from confusing and irrelevant, to bad, to reaching towards relevancy 3 years too late, to finally fanboy wanking before cancellation).
Maybe, just maybe, we can look forward to that utopian space society once again, this time through the eyes of JJ Abrahms.
Too bad we'll have to do it without Ricardo Montalban. :\
