Nothing beats the cold war Trek. No counselors on board, no PC crap, no huge moral dilemmas at every turn.

And the stories and acting were excellent.

"And the stories and acting were excellent"

Almost as good as the special effects? :)

The big styrofoam rocks and other shortcomings, and the sorta old-fashioned look of old Trek used to bother me, although I loved it when I was younger, after getting used to the polished look of ST:TNG. Now when I watch the old trek, though, there just seems to be something much more "raw" about it. Maybe it's just because it's been so long since I've seen a lot of the old episodes, and I've seen too many of the ST:TNG episodes too many times.
