Watching through the full series still, almost at the end of Season 2 I can safely say S1 is way way way better, and Shakey OTM about the "minor" characters getting more screen time. There was a stretch I just passed where I didn't even see Sulu (arguably my fave character) for about 7 eps. Very bummed as I like Uhura and Sulu a lot more than, say, Scotty/Chekov.

Chekov's inclusion was pretty lame at first - altho the attempt to obscure a Monkees/Beatles cash-in character by making him Russian is pretty funny

and Season 1 may be better in general, but Season 2 is where the series hits its real high points (Amok Time! but also Mirror, Mirror, a handful of others).

i have seen all of these in the last two months since i recently got the DVD set.
I really *want* to vote "Where No Man Has Gone Before" just for glowy-eyed Sally Kellerman and Gary Lockwood
great episode + one of the awesome indelible images of the series

balance of terror, squire of gothos, arena, corbomite maneuver, conscience of the king (aka perry mason in space) and court martial were all great

I thought I'd seen all of the original series, but this thread has made me realise I've seen hardly any.

Just watched the "City on the edge of forever" for the first time since 1967, probably.

balance of terror, squire of gothos, devil in the dark, the corbomite maneuver, arena, even miri all shamefully robbed here for the novelty of spock in jeans

Gotta say that image at the top from Charlie X gave me motherfucking nightmares when I was a kid.

Yeah, that episode also stuck with me, Charlie X innit?

Charlie X on right now, I'd never seen it before. Uhura improvising a coquettish love song about Spock, to the tune of Charlie Is My Darling, while a smirking Spock accompanies her on his Vulcan space harp - one of the highlights! Robert Walker (Jr) is good in this.

Image at top of thread is very David Lynch to me in isolation
