I never watched any of Trek growing up. Not before the 2009 movie. I always thought Trek was for supernerds, and that I would never ever stoop to that level. But after watching both reboot movies and liking them a lot, I have decided: I will watch every TV show and movie of Star Trek from TOS up through Enterprise. It'll be a long journey, hopefully not 5 years.
I've started watching TOS and so far I've been watching in stardate order, 10 episodes behind my back. It has a very, very slow pace. Episodes feel more like character studies than fun adventures in space. That's not a bad thing at all, but given that episodes are 50 minutes long, they don't lend themselves very well to marathoning. I get around 3 episodes a day in before I burn out. It hasn't aged all that badly, despite what others say I think. The only thing noticeable to me are that some of the episodes are just heavily cliche. Understandable, since back then it wasn't cliche at all, but it's still there. That's really all I have to say at this point.
