Ranking every TOS episode as a first time viewer. Season 1 was by far my favourite one! Not ranked within the tiers.

Dr. Miranda Jones from 'Is There in Truth No Beauty?' was one of the most interesting, complex characters of TOS. The episode and her character was written by Jean Lisette Aroeste, a Star Trek fan librarian, who sent her story to the producers of the show. They loved it and she sold her first script

Always remember that Sulu got his name because Gene Roddenberry looked at a map and was like โ€œyeah, thatโ€™ll doโ€

I made a TOS Bridge Display that shows power & weather information for my home

This hangs in the hallway to the office in our house and displays, from left to right: time, temperature, and three day weather forecast overtop a personal calendar. Four status bars which show the current power being used in the house, the current temperature outside, the current humidity outside, and the amount of power we've used for the day. The Enterprise is animated and speeds up or slows down based on how much power is being used.

img

In the middle: the temperature inside the house and what the thermostat is set to, the travel times to work from the house and vice versa, a list of all the devices registered in the house with the ones currently on blinking and the others dimmed out. It's flanked with visual abstractions from the show - with an indicator of outdoor air quality in the bottom right under "TRANSPORTER CONDITIONS".

You can see it in action here, I hope you like it! https://youtu.be/AoOkJNP34kc?si=LoCmmQUI5RBcQ3Mm

I always loved how this shot shows the scale of the interior.

The Motion Picture does a good job of showing off the new Enterprise. Area's we never see again.

TOS feels like a cool time capsule that shows us that not much has changed in the past 60 years

I was writing a full post (was in the 5th paragraph) about this title but then realised that no one really cares about what I was writing.

We still haven't found a way to achieve warp speeds, racism is still a thing, women are still objectified and men are still animalistic creatures, powerless to the charms of physical beauty. Unless you're Spock. Or T'Pau.

I wish I had watched this show when I was young and naive. Maybe I'd have learned to be a better person.

The Lights Of Zetar: how annoying was Scotty this episode?

Constantly staring at her like a lovesick calf, hovering over her in sickbay, always had at least one hand on her, and holding onto her while walking like she was an invalid. I'm surprised she didn' t tell him "find something else to for a couple of days, you're suffocating me".
