[QUOTE]Originally posted by Treknophyle: [QB] - Kirk's voiceover in the opening credits - Being surprised and touched with Spock's relationship with Jill Ireland's character - and the bitter-sweet resolution of same. - Amok Time - Journey to Babel - (what felt like dozens of alien races - for a make-up budget of less than my house's list price). - McCoy injecting Spock to take his place in "The Empath" - the whole concept of deep friendship of this type - and sacrifice - in the late 60's between hetero men. - Kirk's last orders in "The Tholian Web". - "Court Martial" - M5 - and the controversies it sparked. - "The Conscience of the King" - my first exposure to Shakespeare at age 8. What? Few of these require a sf setting - could have been done in a cop or western genre? Well, they wouldn't have been. It took a far-out setting to get these things out there. And to get me to watch. I've been watching Trek since 1966 (I was 6). I've never felt about another series the way I do about TOS. Some episodes of later shows have indeed touched me with that sense of wonder: - The introduction of the Borg - Sisko meeting the prophets - Janeway bringing her crew home But for consistent 'sense of wonder' - TOS had them all beat.
