I've really liked it since I was a kid in the 1970s and it was in reruns. My suggestion is that you grab a torrent for all three seasons. If you want your dessert first - you can google for a "best episodes" list and watch those episodes first.
A google hint is Star Trek TOS (the original series). Also - be sure to avoid updated rips "improved" by removing the original practical effects and replacing them with shitty CGI that ruins the 1960s vibe.
If you watch 5 to 10 minutes of an episode and you think it's poor - just skip the rest. In my opinion - there's a fairly large number of bad/skippable episodes and they tend to be bad all the way through. I think season 3 is the weakest season by far. I'm not surprised the series got cancelled.
A lot of people would disagree and I'd never say this at most sites but the original Star Trek has a lot of filler and it simply isn't like a series like The Sopranos. Arguing with fanboys makes me grind my teeth. And because the series is pop culture Americana - fanboys are beyond tedious.
As someone who has basically never watched Star Trek, this review seems beautifully poetic and actually makes me want to go watch the old episodes.
