I grew up with ST-TOS, followed all the sequel and prequel series and now, more than half a century later, in this world that is falling apart, I still believe the atmosphere from Star Trek could one day become a real possibility. The power of Roddenberry's vision is truly awesome. I almost feel like Lt. Barkley: whenever I'm tired, sad or demoralized, I immerse in one or two randomly chosen episodes of ST (TOS-TNG-Voy) and it never fails to lift my spirit. Thank you for this emotional encounter with Bones, I enjoyed it thoroughly.
DeForest Kelly will always be a legend and he will always be Star Trek. Sad to watch now knowing what’s fate is coming to him, he will always be fondly remembered into the 23rd 24th century and beyond. RIP DeForest.
Gods above and below, but I miss that man...De Kelley's "Bones" McCoy was always the character I most identified with in TOS-his rock-solid decency, his passionate championing of humanity over technology, his humor, his dedication to his profession and to caring for patients regardless of species, color or appearance. He does a great job in this video, even if he is delivering lines written for him.
8:19 The TNG sickbay actually is Dr. McCoy's sickbay from the Star Trek movies. At the end of the sickbay "tour" they go out the rarely-used door on the wall next to the large LCARS panel.
This new Star Trek show looks pretty good. I'll have to check my TV Guide to find out when it airs. Maybe have to set my VCR to tape it if I'm not home. Anyway, I gotta go buy some Sunny-Delight and a few Super Soaker 30s and 50s for the pool party this weekend.
Making a point that the guy is “now 70.” Today, we have Bill Shatner at over 90 doing projects for History Channel. Back then, we were seeing it was a surge of success among the older generation. Today those people youngsters comparatively speaking.
DeForest Kelley was a fascinating character actor. I remember seeing him in the movie Gun Fight at the OK Corral with Burt Lancaster. He fit perfectly as the Country style doctor on Star Trek the original series. I always enjoyed his banter between DeForest Kelley's doctor and with Leonard Nemoy as Mr. Spock.
Thank you for putting this together this was awesome and a wonderful trip down memory lane! I was with my cousins and my entire family on the floor of my uncle's house watching the very first episode of Star Trek so this brought back a lot of good memories❤
And here we are, nearly 35 years since this video was "new" news. Back when I was 10 years old, my dad and I would fight over our single family B&W television because I wanted to watch STOS and he loved Hee Haw! which were broadcast at the same time. I remember him saying "That weirdo space shit won't even last one season!" I finally learned just to nod my head in agreement and wait for him to sack out on the couch which typically took about two minutes if I kept my mouth shut. Time to turn the channel! RIP dad!
I've had the honor of meeting most of the original ST cast and a number of the NG cast. Susan Woo and Barbara March (the Klingon sisters) were fun to be around.
I have read that Dee Kelley was one of the most loved members of the Star Trek TOS cast. I have never heard anything negative said about him from anyone associated with the show.
@tradde11 I don't know about that , but I did feel Babylon 5 captured a StarTrek attitude and feel BETTER than so called "StarTrek DS9 " , , ,heck I think Roddenberry wouldve enjoyed Babylon 5 , there it is an I said it , , ,👽👍👍
Interesting, but that early video upscaling doesn't do it justice. Sometimes, it's better to just clean up the video the best you can and walk away. Besides, there's a certain charm with old NTSC VHS that you can live with if you just can't do better. I lived with it in my childhood. VHS wasn't even as good as live broadcast, but it was still good enough. Now, we are coming to the days where we might not be able to record live broadcast as easily as we did with VHS.
That's wild Kelley mentions having a "Soviet" officer. This was made only a year before collapse of the Soviet Union. Not a fan of this "remastered" footage though. It's "smoothed" out video in a way very blocky and worse than just the blurry original.
They say a city in the desert lies The vanity of an ancient king But the city lies in broken pieces Where the wind howls and the vultures sing These are the works of man This is the sum of our ambition... With every prison blown to dust My enemies walk free
The discussion of the diversity on the crew is one reason I’ve never understood Conservative Star Trek fans. Everything about the show is evidence against the conservative worldview.
I had never seen this before. It was great! I have this series and the original series on Blu-Ray. But I honestly lost interest in Star Trek after TNG ended. Never watched Enterprise, only remember seeing 2 or 3 episodes of DS9 and Voyager. I did however see all the TNG films and enjoyed most of them.
When Star Trek shows us a "hopeful future,: it is a completely fictional future. We are nowhere near the technology or the global unity that Star Trek portrays. Sit back, enjoy the show, but stop thinking it is any kind of prediction of our future. In the words of William Shatner himself, "It's just a TV show."
Much of the technology of Star Trek has come to pass, the tablet computer, the cell phone, the tricorder etc. As for society changing, let's hope it can do so without a third world or eugenics war, While it may seem the world is in a dangerous place right now, it is actually the most peaceful it has ever been for hundreds if not thousands of years, the wars we see around us are merely skirmishes and will die down. There is no harm in being positive and if you ask me the Roddenberry future is a future worth fighting for.
@@SRS-GAMES Jump in the transporter and come over to my house so we can discuss it. I'll rev up the replicator so we can have some snacks. And I keep a bottle of Saurian Brandy just for guests..... We aren't even close.....
I remember watching this way back in the day!! I always loved the irascible M 'coy and thought the dynamics between the actors got funnier each season. TNG did much the same, but with WAY better effects!! I'm just sorry that it got too left-wing political. That being said, TNG is the best Star Trek there is, and I've watched all of them... (Note: Kate Mulgrew as Janeway is pretty outstanding too!!)
@@mattstonge7112 A little search turned up this fact about Star Trek - The Next Generation: "This is certainly true and would have made "The Outcast" a milestone for Star Trek's LGBTQ+ representation in a number of ways." 👉👉👉 In short, STTNG was pushing homosexuality as early as the first season, regarding a subject that the original series NEVER touched upon. So Original Star Trek is NOT "just as guilty".
Dude, TOS was woke as hell, it was against racism, government corruption, greed, pointless militarism, and it was utterly egalitarian. By 60s standards it was about as woke as it gets.
There is absolutely zero comparison. TNG couldn't lick the boots of ToS. ToS was vibrant, REBELLIOUS, fun, idealistic - but essentially - without being moralising or preachy. TNG was stuck way up its own arse in a very early version of being woke. I had no name for it at the time, but I knew I despised it. For example, Q submits to humans in an attempt to extirpate his sin of genocide. The grown ups in the 60s would never have written such arrogant drivel. And a teenage navigator is just plain dumb. (Either that or I hated the character for sticking out like a sore thumb, like watching Greta Thunberg telling President Putin how to run his nation. 🙄)

My dad gave me the love of star trek. I watch it today with enthusiasm and dad in my heart
Dr. McCoy was always my favorite from TOS. It's an absolute treat to be able to see this now. I wish I had known about it sooner.
33 years after this airing it is still going strong.
60 years old and still can't help but click on anything having to do with the Original.
Me too! And I’ve found some gems going down these Star Trek rabbit holes!❤
DeForest Kelly will always be a legend and he will always be Star Trek. Sad to watch now knowing what’s fate is coming to him, he will always be fondly remembered into the 23rd 24th century and beyond. RIP DeForest.

Well I'll be damned!
McCoy, Leonard H. Played by DeForest Kelley was my favourite character in all of the Star Trek franchise. He was superb.

It's ironic that in real life, Deforest Kelly wanted to be a Doctor, and now he's immortalized as playing one. RIP Bones.
Love it when a TNG binge watching sesh randomly shows up in life.
I've had the honor of meeting most of the original ST cast and a number of the NG cast. Susan Woo and Barbara March (the Klingon sisters) were fun to be around.
Qapla'!
WOW! Gosh, I miss DeForest! He was something else. I wish they had him visit TNG more than he did.
That was fracking great! Don't know where you found it, by that Rocked! RIP D
Poops. "But, that Rocked"
I have read that Dee Kelley was one of the most loved members of the Star Trek TOS cast. I have never heard anything negative said about him from anyone associated with the show.
If only i could time travel back to that first season TNG era , i could put soooo many things right , and prep for the $ chaos of the 2020s 😢😔😞
As great as TOS proved to be, TNG proved to be the greatest sci-fi / fantasy TV show ever produced
This deserves more Likes 🖖😁🖖

I loved TNG, but my favorite StarTrek series will always be Deep Space Nine, that one was above and beyond everything for me.
TOS set the foundation do respect to the og crew
😂@@lyrand6408
It's amazing that, today, people at home can generate more sophisticated and realistic cgi on a common home computer.
that is awesome. Thanks for sharing that!
Wow 70 in 1990 ..he would be 104 in 2024 !
From this to discovery 😢😢😢
"These sets are barrrrbaric!"
RIP sir
"Dammit, Jim, I'm a doctor!"
Those Old Scientists have staying power like nobody's business!
I'm surprised that Deforest\Bones WILLINGLY got on the transporter pad, considering his hatred for them
the first Star Trek was the best, if it weren't for the first, the others would not exist. I'm for the first Star Trek

Back when Star Trek inspired people to be doctors and scientists, new Trek only inspiries people into buying more anti depressants.
All gone now. All dust and gone.
Only if you have no soul!!!!
Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten.

He's dead, Jim!
Sounds like my past life.
Dust and gone.
The new Star Trek really sucks as well as the newer ones that followed. The original cast from the 1960's will never be matched.

LOL the only reason it was watched was it aired reruns on Sunday morning where nothing else was entertaining at the time.
