As I mentioned in other threads, Ive just now started watching the original series via Netflix for the first time ever. I watched The Cage on YouTube first, then on my BD watched Where No Man Has Gone Before. My review of that was that Gary Mitchell could do all those things, but couldnt reverse levitate that boulder from entombing him? I guess it was the extra zap the other chick gave him that weakened him. I did get a line of dialogue from that ep I can use in my story arc Im working on though.

But regarding The Man Trap, seriously Bones WTF, SHOOT THAT B****! So, he wasnt under any spell, it was just pure heartache for an old flame that couldnt make him shoot her even when she starts sucking the salt out of Kirk, even after Spock lays into her and she pimp slaps Spock to the wall, even after she EFFING TRANSFORMS back to the alien and puts her octopus suckers on Kirks face AGAIN, he STILL hesitates to shoot? Lost a TON of respect for you Dr McCoy. That was just stupid. Is this what I have to endure for this series? lol I knew Id have to dial my expectations down, but THAT was just stupid.
And for the digital special effects upgrade on the BlueRay, I was hoping for a digital 1701 and FULL effects, not taking the original model, or a new one or whatever, and just super emposing new effects behind it. Oh well. Glad they took those stupid blonde streaks out of Kirk's hair that he had in the pilot. And glad they didnt keep Spock so yellow.
