So, my wife bought me all three seasons of Star Trek -- the original series -- for an early birthday present. We've been watching through them, and I suddenly realized that the writers of the new movie must have done their homework. Even a half-dozen episodes into the first season, and I'm noticing precursors to many of the "surprising twists" in the new movie.
For example...
We should have been far less surprised by the romance between Spock and Uhura in the movie. Early in season 1 (as far as I've watched so far) of the original television show, she's flirting and teasing Spock in just about every other episode. Granted, in the original series, he seems to stoically ignore her advances in a much more Vulcan manner, but still.
Anyway, I'm finding it quite interesting watching the old shows having seen the new "reboot" movie. I'll have to keep an eye out for more connections.
