I’m slowly trying to get back into Star Trek (as in, I’m forcing myself to become fannish about it again). I used to be a huge fan of the Original Series and TNG years ago, and I keep feeling compelled to revisit the franchise again.
The first episode of TOS is miles better than An Unearthly Child. It’s interesting how two sci-fi shows made in the 60s can take such wildly different approaches to storytelling (and its not like Star Trek had giant budgets either). I like Doctor Who, but Star Trek is just the better show.
