I was born in 1989, so I grew up with the TNG era and ENT, and I always dismissed TOS as a kid as the cheesy 60s original version that TNG remade and left in the dust. It wasn’t until high school that I actually sat down and watched TOS and fell in love with it. I even now wonder if Kirk is better than Picard, it’s a debate I have with myself often. Was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience with TOS?

I still think TNG is better, but TOS is great in its own right.

    I didn’t dislike it, but I think a lot of it went over my head in a way that TNG did not, for whatever reason.

    I tacitly understood TOS had a different vibe and aesthetic — but I was also raised on Nick at Nite, so television from the 1950s and 60s felt like comfort food to me.

    Now, I love it for many reasons.
