    It’s what I watched as a kid on syndication. It’s not “modern” Star Trek. Well it is if you take Lower Decks as Star Trek. But a lot of fans think TNG, DS9 style trek is the only Star Trek. Serious, intellectual examinations of politics, etc.

    But I think that’s bullshit. There’s plenty of that in TOS. It’s just layered along with a lot of silly and fun stuff. It’s also historically significant. For instance it has a diverse main cast which wasn’t common back then and it had the first interracial kiss on television.
