Star Trek

I also watch “Tomorrow is Yesterday” from the original Star Trek. It was quite painful to sit threw the entire episode, and I even had to skip forward a couple of times. I think that I got the main idea though and enough to write this blog. Basically one of the characters, Christopher tries to come back to earth, but he is accidentally transported back in time to 1969. When Captain Kirk tells Christopher that he cannot return because he knows too much, it made me think about the movie Déjà vu with Denzel Washington. Where they try to send a note back to the past to warn the police about the future. When Christopher takes the pictures of the Enterprise I thought to myself that it would be hard to convince anyone today that it really was a UFO. I think that we would just look at him like he is crazy. Which is another difference between SciFi and the real world. Thankfully though at the end of the episode the Enterprise is able to return back to present.

Besides the obviously differences of graphics and special effects between this old SciFi and modern SciFi, there are many other changes. For example in Dollhouse (the show that I watched for me ARP and CP papers) there is less about spaceships and universe and more about newer modern technology. I think that Dollhouse is actually possible one day, but I do not think that we will ever have "space wars." I no that BSG is a modern SciFi and has space wars, but BSG has a lot of things that are more related to us today. I think that SciFi is starting to move closer and closer to reality and possibility then they were in the original Star Trek. I think that this is good because that is the main reason that people are turned off from SciFi series.
