Wonderful post over on James Maliszewski's GROGNARDIA today about why Star Trek TOS still holds up today, in large part due to its approach to storytelling:
"Watching Star Trek, I am continually struck by the fact that it's never about itself. Each episode is simply a science fiction adventure story, with little or no connection to anything that comes before or after."
His post comes at a perfect time for me. I've already spent too many days wrestling with canon on (secret project), which is precisely the point. Time to move on and focus on what matters.
