I'm watching the original 1966 Star Trek and I'm genuinely surprised at how great it is. There's also a lot of horrific implications at play and man I do NOT want to be on the USS Enterprise at all.
When I started, I thought I'd be going into some sort of Seinfeld experience where everything feels rote and played out but only because Seinfeld did it first, and yet all this feels fresh and genuine since it's a lot of stuff studios today wouldn't dare touch with a ten foot pole.
I actually liked Captain Pike played by Jeffrey Hunter in the original pilot "The Cage" that NBC rejected since it was too philosophical and didn't have a lot of action, but all the following episodes I watched had way less action lol.
