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.

    Maybe it’s not so much ‘being spoiled’ as not having a high tolerance for cheaply made, schlocky fan-service?
