I can't binge it and sometimes even making it through an episode is work. Taking notes is helping, and now I've started I feel I must continue.
\r\nThe really horrifying thing is how groundbreaking and revolutionary the role of women in this show was at the time. Wtf was the rest of TV like?!
\r\nS1E0: Captain Pike \"isn't used to having women on the Bridge.\"
Captain Pike is somewhat disgruntled when trapped by aliens with a beautiful woman whose sole desire is to make babies with him. The woman is actually old and wrinkly and somewhat disfigured from when her ship crashed. She's so ashamed of her true appearance that she'd rather stay with the aliens in the end.
This pilot got bad reviews because there wasn't enough punching, and almost killed Star Trek before it began. The female first officer didn't go down well with the network either.
S1E1: Bones still has the hots for his ex-girlfriend so he doesn't notice she's a shape-shifting alien who drains the salt from peoples' bodies, killing several members of the crew. Most conversations are about how hot Bones' ex-girlfriend is.
S1E2: Charlie, a human teenager raised by aliens, has never seen human women before. His re-assimilation into human society doesn't go well, because all he wants to do is follow Yeoman Rand around and touch her inappropriately. Everyone is awkward about this and nobody does a good job of explaining to Charlie why this isn't going to work out. Also he has destructive psychic powers. They let the aliens have him back.
Spock and Uhura have a strangely intimate public moment involving song and harp.
S1E3: The episode opens with bridge officer Gary Mitchell making inappropriate comments about psychiatrist Elizabeth Dehner. In front of everyone, on the Bridge, during work hours. Apparently this is fine.
Gary is the hero of the story when he accidentally becomes imbued with ever-expanding psychic powers which make him think he's better than everyone else. He continues to sexually harass Dr. Dehner. Kirk is very sad that his friend's powers make him think he's better than everyone else, but doesn't seem too fussed about his treatment of Dehner. Eventually Dehner also gets psychic powers and runs away with Gary. She realises at the last minute this might have been a bad idea. They both die.
Kirk makes sure to note in his log that Gary was a decent bloke.
S1E4: Everyone is infected with an inhibition-removing virus. Nurse Chapel declares her love for Spock. Spock cries. Kirk is upset that being Captain means he can't get laid. Riley hijacks the PA system, sings Irish ditties, and has opinions on how the women dress.
S1E5: The Enterprise needs an HR department.
\r\nEvil twin of Kirk assults Yeoman Rand. She's interviewed by Spock and Bones in the captain's presence. She's very visibly distressed. Kirk keeps yelling that it wasn't him. \"Well he's the captain, I couldn't just... I didn't want to get you into trouble sir... I wouldn't have said anything, only...\". A male witness bursts in and confirms it was Kirk. He's escorted to sickbay. Rand is dismissed.
\r\nWhen Kirk is re-merged, Rand goes to apologise to him (or forgive him, or something) on the Bridge. Spock says \"the imposter had some interesting qualities, wouldn't you say Yeoman?\" and gives her this weird-ass smirk. Spock! Wtf.
\r\nS1E6: It's very hard to concentrate with ladies in the room.
Only the feelingless Vulcan is immune from the captivating charms of three \"females\". None of them are dressed appropriately for space travel, nor do they react reasonably to terrifying space emergency situations. And of course all they want is husbands. The episode is called \"Mudd's women\"; Mudd introduces them as his \"cargo\" and Kirk is fine to refer to them this way. If they don't take a pill for long enough, their makeup is washed off and they get some wrinkles near their eyes and can't stand themselves any more. Eve has some character and agency but in the end decides to stay with the abusive miners on desolate Rigel-12 I guess because one of them decided he wanted to talk to her even after he found out she didn't really look how he thought she did. Mining infrastructure on Rigel-12 seems... understaffed. The episode has an 'if you believe in yourself you can be anything' moral, specifically that \"homely\" women can still be appreciated by men if they \"act beautiful\".
Spock moment: \"the fact that my internal arrangement differs from yours Doctor, pleases me no end.\"
The REAL mystery is: how does captain dangerman mcwhitedude keep a consistent population of ONE tribble on his desk??

That was a really good episode. We were due a kooky time loop one of course to match previous series.
Ugh Mudd though. When he said \"that won't be last you see of..\" I was hoping he was addressing the audience not the crew, and meant his ToS episode.

That's my favourite one so far.
I'm on Season 2 of ToS. It's still a chore, but there are little things that make it bearable. The way Spock and Kirk look at each other, for one. Also every time Sulu does a countdown, and Chekov constantly claiming everything was invented in Russia.

Season 3 and Bones hasn't changed. I am sick of his shit. Him being an asshole to Spock was funny for a few episodes but DUDE move on.
And as for the 'strange Vulcan physiology' issue every time Spock stubs his toe STUDY IT ALREADY ugh
\r\nThis has been building up for a while, but what really did it just now was Kirk left Scotty in command and Bones is on the Bridge as usual for no fucking reason and Scotty's like \"wow I dunno what to do, this sucks\" and Bones is like \"yikes oh well happens to the best of us\" but when Spock is in command Bones spends the entire episode screaming in his ear because he hasn't immediately rescued the Captain even though Spock is clearly executing a well thought out plan at every moment.
\r\nBones is racist.
\r\nBut mostly Bones is jealous of Kirk's feelings for Spock.
