that's my thoughts too
TOS they are out of touch by a few week in some episodes from Star Fleet
So Kirk had absolute power and all the responsibility. So he was like James Cook out in the middle of nowhere, Picard and Later are like modern ships of the sea of any Navies..
and even small details
of the TOS appeals to me more than the later show..
TOS Having to walk to a wall or desk communicator to contact the bridge..
a communicator that you clip to your belt.
The Security details Ran and not walk in an emergency or Red Alert.
I like the TOS Phaser more than any since. possibly my fav sci-fi weapon.
Doc McCoy's tools can also be used as Salt shakers
My biggest regret about the TOS was it never continued and that the other members of the crew never had more story lines.
TNG era .. every thing is was to easy ..
"we have a prob" ..
"Don't worry! We can route this and cross that and it will convert the other too..blaa bla bla..
don't get me wrong I like the shows for what they were. but they lack the cutting edge ...
