    Say something positive about TOS? You mean only ONE? :D

    So many great episodes, so many great scenes, so many great lines of dialog. Sometimes profound, sometimes poignant, and sometimes light-hearted, always entertaining.

    But the best way to sum it up: Kirk-Spock-McCoy.

    'Nuff said.

    I could say a million things positive about TOS, but unfortunately every one of them becomes moot when yo0u factor in the terrible overacting of shatner.

    One positive thing about TOS...? Difficult.

    Ok... It's Star Trek. :P

    It would be easier to list the things I don't like. They are:

    Spocks Brain,
    Mudds Women,
    Turnabout Intruder,
    and The Paradise Syndrome.

    Everything else is gold. Or at least silver.

    McCoy and Spock were always funny together

      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

      I have to say that I actually liked Spock's Brain. the concept of the Morg and Eymorg was quite good IMO. It certainly had many faults though.

      Is it really necessary to say something positive about TOS? The show that spawned Star Trek?
      I'll admit the first ST show I've ever watched was TNG, however TOS has and forever will have a special place in my heart.

      I will admit that the costume design for that episode was fantastic. The episode itself however was god awful.

      You forgot "The Omega Glory". Which is probably the best thing to do with it anyway.

      I like the episode far more in concept than execution to be sure.

      Not everyone necessarily likes TOS, hence why these threads are all about 'say something postive about...'

      I must admit, respect points to Trendy for laying down the law like that.

      No show in history has had so much of an effect over such a long stretch of time, and the Original series started it. Sure look back on it now, from the prospective of a person who is immersed in better and more realistic effects in commercials you would scoff at the ones back then, and the cheesy dialog needed to sell the stories back then some times where monotonous but I will still watch it, and still dream and hope for a future where Man is out wandering the stars like that. I guess what I’m trying to say is, it’s the story that matters, not the means by which it’s told. Besides, without such a great beginning, it would never have lasted this long so, lift a glass to those who you walk in the shadow of, for without them none of the rest would have followed.

      yeah, it had a surprising amount of random idiocy. :(

      As a kis I watched TOS first run on TV, my friends and I had half the playground playing Star Trek at recess. Youtune has "Star Trek Continues" now, a fan based professional production deticated to finishing the last 2 years of episodes from the orginal 5 year mission of the orginal series. If anyone hasn't seen it, it well worth a look. The attention to detail from the orginal series will blow your mind. :-) The actor who plays Kirk is spot on Kirk, and he is one of the driving forces behind the new show. Hard not to like the orginal series, after all, without it, we have nothing else that followed would we.

      hey did a sequel to Mirror, Mirror that is excellent. they really need a better spock though.

      Are you kidding? the subtext of Mudd's Women is amazing.

      and six pages in and No one mentioned The Naked time, and the most Lucrative ST episode of all time.. Space Seed
