Yes, me too.. (We needn't re-excoriate Shattner for not being more like Jean Luc P. either.) I enjoyed the Morality-plays which Roddenberry incorporated and much else. Compared with the crap laugh-track blight du jour, ST was damn near Shakespearean ... later on, I thought Data (not ever Dah-ta) was superb, both in acting and in the great lines. And I was way-over 14.

Ditto early Beatles, who helped moi play my way through a first emancipation from adopting the camouflage of Middle-class home/my castle obsessions. (Yes, people did sing on leaving a screening of Yellow Submarine ... maybe still?)

Still and all.. TDTESS The Day the Earth Stood Still, B/W and '51: made the most of sci-fi-noir (and with its own Morality-play, as applicable today as would be the shipping of the Shogunate off to Geneva for trial.)
