7/10

The original series may be a bit hard to watch with a modern mind set, but the episodes still contain the key discussions on what it is to be human. Really the show was a great platform for modern thinking and is worth watching to understand the process that people went through to get to the modern day. Yes it is Science Fiction, but really it is Social Commentary.

Probably my best highlight of the show! 😅 But yeah, the original series was the best.

I think I am required by law to like this the most, right? Even if I am a Voyager fan? I mean, if I don't they will strip me of all my credentials. I will be kicked out of the club and banned from every comic book store across America... ... actually in 2022 that doesn't sound that bad... ... but, Yeah, you have to love Kirk, the country boy in space. The womanizing sailor. I mean, some people call him the space…
