Reviews TOS

Introduction
Last year, 2011, I decided to try and watch all of Doctor Who since there were several incarnations I had never seen more than one complete story line for. (I'm only to 6 right now, 3-3-12.) My motivation was that I still claim 4 as my favorite Doctor, but that opinion was strongly filtered through the attitudes of childhood. Now I say 4 & 10 are tied, but at least I gave the others a chance, lol.

I realized that my claiming TOS as my favorite Trek is in the same vein. I have not watched some of the eps in years and much of my attitude is because I associate it with my father. In point of fact, I have not watched any TOS, or much Trek of any kind, since my father died in June, 2011.

After so many hours with The Doctor, I decided it was time to go back to my Trek roots. I am watching the versions with the original FX, mainly because that is what I own and I am too cheap to buy a new set of disks for just the pretty colors and nice planets. The other big decision is what order to watch - production order, air dates, or star date order. Each has a valid argument. Even though each show was designed to stand independently, it has developing relationships. The interpretation of some actions are changed by the order they are placed. I am going to watch by original air dates, leaving the original pilot to last.
