Most of the first season if not nearly all is absolutely fucking terrible. That said they do have some great episodes suddenly dotted in there like Balance of Terror. Makes Enterprise and Voyager series 1 look golden in comparison.

Noticed that Season 2 of TOS has "STRONK FEMALE WOMEN!" without actually shoving it down your throat. Kind of refreshing actually.

Just a lure for young talent so Gene could shove himself down their throats.

>>8125

are you watching the updated tos or the original original series?

a few years ago cbs released a kind of remaster with modern effects. they were really good tho, makes it clear what a fucking shitbag george lucas is for wiping his feet all over the original sw trilogy with unnecessary editing and effects.

>>8150

>TOS "remastered"

THE GORN FUCKING BLINKS. THEY DUBBED IN CGI EYELIDS.

THE FUCK IS THIS BULLSHIT.

>>8214

in remastered tos they think a crates a beepboop

>>8150

While the TOS remaster wasn't completely horrible, I tend to favor remasters that falls more towards conservation and preservation, or very minimum cleanup restorations. Not adding new stuff in.

While the versions in syndication are the "upgraded SFX" variants, there are also HD versions of the "orginal SFX" included on the blu-ray sets. However, the "original SFX" look pretty damn gritty, that's because most of the effect shots were heavily duplicated and reused, so they suffered from heavy scratching, multi-generational copy degradation, and compositing multiple element layers to form a shot (planet and ship on separate frames glued in).

The TOS restoration was also a very early effort in the industry and as such, a bit of learning experience. The details in the resources I looked are a bit sparse, but sounds like they restored the episodes from the edited negatives, which incorporated the heavily duplicated SFX shots. Some years later, I think they did uncover the original SFX elements as part of the Roddenberry Vault materials, and as such, they could probably restore the original SFX to maximum detail level to match the quality of the rest of the negatives of the live action sequences in the episode negatives.

Ye the upgraded SFX was the one I caught on tv at the time.

>>7047

>James Rambo Kirk rescuing Redshirts POW who was sold out and betrayed by a treasonous Fed bureaucrat

I'd watch that.

>>8256

people's obsession with plebbit, where they are seeing it everywhere in everything, is just sad. how do you allow anything to occupy that much of your headspace?

>>8277

They see it everywhere you are. Take the hint, flagfaggot, and fuck off.

>>8464

Can't unsee.

Spock is redhypo sprayed on pussy.

>Red hypo spray

It doesn’t work fam.

This was posted in the wrong thread. Not sure how I did that.

If we send the hippies that's the ad.

Any point watching Season 3 at all?

>>7041 (OP)

I wasn't prepared for how camp the show was and couldn't stop chuckling at it.

>>11593

It's the best one, involving such classics as the best performance of Shatner's life (as a power crazed woman).

>>8220

god I fucking despise the "remastered" sound effects that they add in, that don't match the EQ of the original track so they stick out like a fucking sore thumb

>>11593

Spock’s Brain is the best episode you can imagine.

Whenever people shit on Star Trek V, it’s always good to remind them of things like that or Sub Rosa.

>>11593

Season 3 at least gave us Romulan waifus.

>>8868

Why are Cats featured so much in TOS?

>>13232

Gene Rottenberry really like his pussy.

One thing I've noticed as a theme in the TOS is that when it's McCoy and Spock working together, McCoy will call out Spock for putting everyone at risk and keeping everyone in the dark then at the end of the day Spock will pull some solution out his ass that saves the day and makes McCoy fears unfounded. Supposed to make Spock look clever but it just makes him an asshole who could have elevated everyone's fears if he just told them his plan.

Another is that the plot of "Number of bridge crew get captured by superior beings and are left helpless at the wims of their captors, they go along while trying to find some weakness to exploit then exploit it and eventually win the day through some random bullshit" happens FAR to often.

Then there's the obvious "Primitive planet that mirrors Earth but not all is that it seems with some hidden obstacle to overcome" plot.

If you've seen either of those two types of episodes you've easily watched two thirds of the TOS.

>>16538

You've only just noticed this now?

Most of Season 3 minus a few episodes is a complete rehash of the first two Season, don't bother watching.
