I'm finally watching Star Trek. It is on netflix. I used to watch it on tv, but now I can actually binge it. So far, on episode 10. Most everything I've seen in this show I disagree with.

For example, with the ESP episode. Captian Kirk restrains the crewman simply because he is sitting up. The crewman says he'd be fine with leaving, but wishes to pick the planet he is marooned on. It is not until the (now godlike) crewman fears for his own safety that he begins to attack Kirk, a true lesser.

In another episode we have Kirk fail to realize that Charlie, a teenager with psychic powers, is doing things to the ship. He realizes this too late and instead of attempting to help him he becomes fearful of him. He tries to detain him, and this simply scares an individual that doesn't know any better. he doesn't even talk to him anymore.

Why do you like this? Also, help me understand the episode I just watched. They find an exact copy of Earth. This has nothing to do with the rest of the episode where they find children whom are 300 years ol thanks to viruses. They make a cure, and they only give it to a small city. What aout the rest of the planet? Why is it an exact copy of 1960's earth? Why does the episode make these questions?

Star Trek is a difficult thing to like; the first few episodes of TOS (except for The Cage, the original pilot) especially have their rough spots--like how the carbon copy of Earth is just sort of glossed over in "What are little girls made of". Get a few more episodes in and you'll get to Balance of Terror, which is one of the good episodes of Season 1 TOS.

The second season is when Star Trek as we now it really kicks in.

Star Trek was originally a spinoff of the Outer Limits, a Twilight Zone type spooky sci-fi black and white show. It took a while for the Kirk, Spock and McCoy chemistry to emerge that became the emotional bedrock of the show.

The Outer Limits

I know what "The Outer Limits" is, however everything I've seen and read goes against what you've said. The original pilot didn't even have Will Shatner

Rodenberry was part of the Outer Limits clique. There were two pilots. The first had only Nimoy from the eventual show and was rejected by the studio. This original pilot was cannabalized for the the second pilot with Capt. Pike, the Menagerie. Clips from the first pilot were presented as flashbacks in the second pilot with Shatner, which got the green light. McCoy didn't come in until mid first season. First season was experimental and shaky, second season kicks off with Spock getting the seven year itch on Amok Time, the rest is history.
