Star Trek: The Original Series

Let& #39;s do this! Here& #39;s the mega-thread of my watch through!

I& #39;ve binged TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT but know nothing about TOS... here we go:
#startrek #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Wow... there are only 3 seasons of it...r are there just 3 seasons on Netflix?

Amazing that a show with 3 seasons has made that level of cultural impact. #startrek #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
The effects are very cool to see!

Not being sarcastic. I love seeing how they did amazing things with very little technology back in the day. #startrek #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Who is this guy? Where is Kirk? At least Spock is there.

Pilots are always a little awkward.

#startrek #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Ok, this guy hates his job and wants to quit. I guess Kirk will take over then.

Love the doctor who carries a full bar in his medical bag.

YIKES that the captain mentions selling Orion slave girls as a retirement plan??? #startrek #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
AND NOW HE IS PISSED THAT HIS NEW YEOMAN IS A WOMAN... WHO IS THIS DUDE AND WHY ARE THEY LETTING A FERENGI CAPTAIN A STAR SHIP?? #startrek #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
And after insulting his helmswoman (? can& #39;t tell since their seats are in weird places) he says she has to stay behind because they have to "leave an officer on the bridge"... but all the dudes get to go... #startrek #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
OOOoooh! This is Chris Pike!

The aliens seem as impressed as I am with him....
The woman he insulted is his 1st officer, NOT the helmswoman.

Ok, that is pretty awesome. She is pretty kickass giving orders. #startrek #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Oooo pretty horses. :)

I really love that Star Trek keeps horse riding as a hobby in the future.
Oh, we are getting the Orion slave dancers in the very first episode.

I guess Pike wants a naughty girl instead of the blond nice girl.

Having worn full green body paint for conventions, I get itchy just looking at her dance. #startrek #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
And after being left behind for the first trip, Ms. 1st officer is the brave one and ready to lead everyone to save the captain.

Can we get a series about this awesome 1st officer? #startrek #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
AAAnd the aliens were kind enough to provide him with a blond, brunette and red head woman to choose between to make babies with...

I mean... come on. The fantastic 1st officer is one of the choices. Is there really a choice? #startrek #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
They convinced the aliens that they would never be slaves and were released.

The moral is that if you& #39;re ugly you should not return to earth?

Number 1 is so done with Pike& #39;s shit. Her face when she replies "all decks are ready" speaks for all women. #startrek #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Episode 2: This is the bridge and crew I recognize! Lots of you shared articles about the change. I& #39;ll read those!

Kirk is MUCH more interesting than the guy playing Pike. Why did they think it was a good idea to make Pike hate being a captain and a jerk? #startrek #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Ok, I& #39;ll admit Shatner is actually very attractive.

I... was not expecting that.
They do portray Spock as a bit of an uncaring dick. If I didn& #39;t know about Vulcans already, he would seem like the bad guy.

I guess that explains some of the attitudes in #startrekENT https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">. #startrek #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Kirk is the worst at explaining why this kid shouldn& #39;t slap women& #39;s asses.
The future space gym is pretty amazing. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€Ł" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">

Maybe start with some basic weight lifting before you start teaching the dangerous kid who is stalking a woman fighting techniques. #startrek #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Interesting hearing how they figure out if the kid is human based on bone structure since they didn& #39;t know about DNA.
Picking up where we left off... That ended up a heavy episode. The kid, after hurting so many, begging to stay with humans instead of spending the rest of his life with aliens who he can& #39;t even touch.

Also, I adore the checkerboard beehive hairdo. #startrek #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Ep 4 - The variety of sweaters on this starship is truly impressive.

They& #39;ve found a black box from a ship called the Valiant. #startrek #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
I have been vastly underestimating #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> . Having never seen the show, I was expecting the level of cheese that I saw in the later movies.

This episode and the last are really interesting reflections on how humans act if they develop superior powers. #startrek
Repeated Adam & Eve imagery in these episodes. Ideas of what is "next" for humanity.

Shatner is actually really good. He really sells the show. Similar to the other captains that come later. For some reason I didn& #39;t expect that. #startrek #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Now that #Decuma is out, I’m back to my #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> watching!

Can someone follow me around lighting me as well as they light Shatner for his closeups? #startrek
It looks like this may be the first transporter accident plot! Interesting!

Oh, AND an evil twin episode too! #startrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
I am here for this very fluffy alien that is totally not a cosplaying dog. #StarTrekTOS https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Back to #StarTrek ! Super excited by the news that Captain Janeway (the best!) will be in the new show!

Continuing my watch-through of #startrektos https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt=""> ....
“Mudd’s Women”... sounds promising.

Based on your warnings this should be quite the ride...

#startrek #startrektos https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
So, super sexy aliens? Some sort of pheromone or mind control powers...

The flat out ass shots are killing me. #startrek #startrektos https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Wait. Are they really traveling around trying to get husbands? Please let that just be a cover story and they are assassins or something.... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😒" title="Unerfreutes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Unerfreutes Gesicht"> #Startrek #startrektos https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Sorry. Baby is having a hard night. Now to finish the episode (and my lesson plans!)

They are, in fact, just normal women who seem to be a little radioactive? Seems bad.

I wasn’t expecting TOS to be this thirsty. #startrek #startrektos https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
They have some sort of plan with a mining operation. Not sure I understand since at some point they are going to run out of this magic drug.

And why is Blondy suddenly willing to betray her friends? #startrek #startrektos https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Weird creepy pairing off with the three miners who don’t seem to care which woman they end up with... Blondy isn’t being sexy to the miners (because she likes Kirk, I think??) so they are fighting over the others.

Charming.
Now she’s acting all hysterical and running outside to her death.

I love this. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😒" title="Unerfreutes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Unerfreutes Gesicht">
I’m... so confused.
So after planning to trick him into marriage, Blondy lectures the miner on how selfish he is for wanting a beautiful bride.

She proceeds to explain that women are good for other things... like cooking and caring for men. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😐" title="Neutrales Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Neutrales Gesicht"> #Startrek #startrektos https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
I guess the other guys were tricked into marrying the other women? Showing the values of the time because the men are DOOMED! Divorce is not a thing.
And the homely woman grabbed the pills to become beautiful again. Instant full face of makeup and hair done.

I don’t care that it’s radioactive. I need some of this for cosplay. #startrek #startrektos https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
No! It’s a twist ending! It wasn’t the magic pills! She had it in her to be beautiful THE WHOLE TIME! She just needed to be confident.

Can I become confident enough for my makeup and hair to do themselves automatically??? #startrek #startrektos https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
And she decides to stay with the miner who yelled at her, called her homely, and was suspiciously defensive about not laying a hand on her. Because...

No idea? She’s self confident enough to have instant makeup but not to want a happy marriage.
So the moral of this episode is:

Ugly girls are good too! They can cook and clean for you, even if you are mean to them.

Wow. #startrek #startrektos https://abs.twimg.com/hashflags... draggable="false" alt="">
Back at my #startrek watching. This episode is called, “What are Little Girls Made Of?” ....

After the last episode, I am afraid...
This show really makes the audience mistrust beautiful women.
The android with the sexy coveralls is sure something. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€Ł" title="Lachend auf dem Boden rollen" aria-label="Emoji: Lachend auf dem Boden rollen">
Oh no! The man who got engaged to a student and then ditched her to hang out with a half-dressed Android ended up being evil?
Oh! That’s Gene Roddenberry wife! Neat!
OH!! And she is Lwaxanna Troi!! VERY COOL.

Weird to see her in such a meek role.
The androids rise up against their illogical masters. Is this one of the first times that storyline was used?
Twist! Rodger is an Android.

And coverall girl ends it all with a kiss and a phaser set to kill.
Next episode! “Miri”

The crew finds a duplicate Earth. Looks like a Fallout game when they beam down, complete with Ghouls.
Found a young girl named Miri! She must be important.

Kirk is telling her she is “very pretty” in a way that is meant to be kind but makes me uncomfortable.
I think the guards are put in red shirts on purpose. They are easy to see so make great targets. They draw fire from everyone else.
Kirk is flattering this kid again. Uhhh.... https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😐" title="Neutrales Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Neutrales Gesicht">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😒" title="Unerfreutes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Unerfreutes Gesicht">

It’s ok though. There is a plague killing all the adults and he has it. Maybe he will die.
And now they are talking about how she is “becoming a woman” and likes Kirk.
