(no subject)

I went to Star Trek this evening (for the third time) with my family. If you have parents in the 50-60 range I highly recommend this as an experiment because my parents loved it and it turned out they had some pretty specific memories about TOS. My mother, for example, remembers the episode with the dudes with one half of the face greasepainted black and one half greasepainted white - an episode I actually studied in class last year - and also remembers them doing shows on abortion (!!!! I really want to know if this is true or not!) etc. ( do I still have to spoiler cut? This stuff is not very spoilery - if you've seen the trailer you know just about everything )
