Default Re: Porsche Jazz Desk Lamp (Star Trek VI)

That's quite a futuristic item still Alan and well worth the effort

I have trouble with Star Trek itself. After going to the Manchester Premier of 2001 in 1968 and having read a great deal of classic post war Sci-Fi [most of which is now coming true faster than we anticipated] I had high hopes from this new US TV series that it was reported all the Nasa Scientists and other staff were watching every week. In the event, I found it all a bit clunky and wooden, like "Forbidden Planet" in the fifties. Yes it was socially and technically predictive [looking back now] but a disappointment to me after the amazing Kubrick "Odyssey"at the time. I do like some episodes and particularly the film versions more now though. My favourite would be Spock on the bus dealing with a punk and his "Boom Box". Is that the same one where Wales are actually running things? Like the mice in Hitch Hikers!
