These first two episodes are proving a really hard watch for me. I’m not a Trekkie in the least bit, so I’m not sure if that’s the shortcoming, or if the series really does have a rocky start.
I guess I just remember it a little more interesting than this. However, it’s likely I didn’t start watching it as a kid until S02 or S03.
S02E03 “Elementary, Dear Data” gave me a second wind. Really fun episode.
Oh yeah, it was a fun one. What do you think of Dr. Polaski? I both loved and hated her character, but loved the character she played in ToS
She’s on the brash side, but I think her abrasiveness also offers occasional antagonism needed to push episode plots forward.
