To me there were no other Star Treks. They were the originals and will always be remembered as legends after they both pass...
I'd agree. Star Trek was an original series with the perfect ensemble cast. Its interesting to contrast the cast with the original cast of Star Trek that appears in the pilot episode. The only actor who appeared in the pilot and the series is Spock / Leonard Nimoy.
Amen. the first Star Trek was the best. Partially due to the newness of the genre on TV.
We viewers knew the stunts were hookey, but the plots and politics were so intriguing. Remember this was during the Vietnam non war that killed over 56000 Americans, many of my age. Fresh out of HS, fresh from listening to tales of American bravery in WWII, and too naive to doubt McMer. and company.
After all our government wouldn’t lie to us~~
