    The OG is the only show I haven’t seen all of, but that’s my kind of captain right there!

    I might check it out. I might see me some Janeway, instead.

      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.
