It is evident that Mint is full of Star Trek junkies. Which probably is a good giveaway of the average age of the organisation.

For most of us who grew up in India, our first brush with Star Trek was in the 1980s, when Doordarshan, the state-owned broadcaster aired the original series. I still remember episodes from that series -- such as Mudd's Women for obvious reasons, and Space Seed, in which Khan makes his first appearance.

I watched all the subsequent Star Trek series, and all the movies, but to my mind, nothing came close to the original series (although Patrick Stewart was very very good as Picard)

The new movie is the closest anyone has come to recapturing the spirit of the original series. I watched it last weekend and loved every minute of it. I have a feeling that if this franchise is allowed to continue, JJ Abrams could do what Chris Nolan did with Batman.
