And don’t get me started on modern conveniences.
Watching through TOS now - it’s still so much fun! The characters, philosophical stuff, and dialogue are what makes Star Trek great, not the effects.
The random zoomed in solo shots of kirk in too much make up with clearly different lighting than the wider context shot…gd I love TOS
Back when everybody had to get their close-ups, lol. I think it was partly because TVs were small back then, and they wanted to show off clear shots of the stars.
My favorite is how every woman they meet gets the same shot, but with that “Vaseline smeared on the lens” effect.

It actually looks crisp on Netflix.
i just watched the original The Creature From the Black Lagoon (1954), and that film is amazing… technology means nothing…
Yeah, he is right. Season 1 is 36 years old and they didnt have a lot of faith that the original series wasnt a fluke, it does look stupid and cheap.
But if you’re going to let that put you off, you’re missing out. Its amazing despite the fact it isnt super polished, not because of it.
OK check out the aliens in Manhunt (S2E19) and then tell me he’s wrong
The fish guys? I love those things.

Maybe it’s not so much ‘being spoiled’ as not having a high tolerance for cheaply made, schlocky fan-service?
You realize 90s Trek had a massive budget for the time and the effects were actually considered outstanding, right? It was never cheap, it’s just become dated. Fanservice varies. Early TNG had TOS-style skimpy outfits, but generally avoided references to TOS. Later on they got better outfits, but also became more self-referential.
It is. Honestly its the worst series I’ve watched
