The thirty-third TV show: #116 Star Trek
It was fun watching this again. The original series is certainly pretty camp in places, with some stars going full at it, still following some crappy politics (women's roles in particular) and other oddities. There is still an interesting mix between light sci fi and hard ideas, not in a way that necessarily satisfies hardcore viewers, but that ends up being really entertaining.
One of the big problems I had was, in fact, picking episodes to watch. Going with two per season - I'd watched the run fairly recently, so figured that'd be fair - there were always plenty of options. The start of my viewing happened to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary, so I started with the first episode broadcast, but it was trickier after that and the episode picks mostly come down to which one caught my eye.
Still, there's something good about watching the show, even with its flaws, that it all made me happy anyway.
