    I love the original series. Seeing them push boundaries of the 1960s and set the groundwork for the rest of Trek is so entertaining to me.

    I feel like I’m pretty good at watching old shows/movies through a lens of the time in which they were made though, which helps a lot here:

    • the overacting and stage-like mannerisms

    • some extra heavy-handed moral lessons

    • the close up, vaseline on the lens, glamour shots for every woman they meet (and Kirk).

    It’s all great.
