What every Star Trek since the original has missed is the fact that the original Captain was actually three characters. Kirk, Spock and McCoy were Ego, Super-Ego and Id respectively. It was the dynamic interplay between these three that was never again fully developed in any of the sequels.

This is really excellent. And so obviously true - now that you point it out, LOL!

Every once in a while (when I’m not ranting about
my personal peeves) I have a flash of insight.

It only took me 40+ years to come up with that one.
I started watching Star Trek in it’s first run.
