As a viewer from the very beginning, I thought I would look back at the pilot since the original series was put on Netflix 50 years after its release. You know, nostalgia and all, a fact that has soured me before with other childhood heroes. An idea that I would have left better in retrospect because, to be honest, this was actually just cringe-inducing bad. Dead that move, the same by the way with the "massive" boulders from the set, the wooden acting of the entire cast (OK, it was their first time too, but still) and a finale with something that should represent a fight between Spock and the monster in the guise of Mrs. Carter, but that rather resembles a ridiculous dance in which the actors were clearly afraid to make contact with each other or accidentally hurt each other. When I look at it objectively 50 years later, it is a mystery to me how the hell this series could ever become popular. Of course it was groundbreaking work at the time, and of course no one had seen anything like it on TV before; The narrator says it himself: "To boldly go where no one has gone before", but that does not alter the fact that it was all actually performed horribly badly. Of course they did not have the resources they have now and probably the makers never thought during the filming of the pilot that there would be a sequel, let alone that 50 years later they would still be milking the same cow. But for those who know him; It all looks a bit like a film by Ed Wood, a director from the 50s who, due to a minimal budget, which generally fit in his pocket, shot all his films in one "take" and who did not mind trifles like cardboard trees that fell on the set while he was shooting his movies. Despite the fact that all his works grew into true cult films, the man is on record as the worst director of all time. For the real movie lover I can wholeheartedly recommend the movie "Ed Wood" from 1994 with, among others, Johnny Depp, Martin Landau and Sarah Jessica Parker, but this aside. If I watch it today and I have to give a "fair" score I give a 10 for nostalgia and a 4 for everything else in this very first episode.

This series, broadcast by German broadcaster in the late 1960s and early 1970s, formed my love for Science fiction.

This is exactly right in my case, so I didn't know who Bones was when I heard the series in English many years later.

As a little boy I often found this too scary to watch. I especially remembered the episode "The Doomsday Machine". I thought that episode was terrifying. Nowadays this series is of course nothing at all, especially in terms of special effects, but at the time it was groundbreaking. However, it should have stopped there, because I don't like the current Star Trek series that are based on this (TOS) era at all. For me, the TNG series are the best Star Trek series. I would make one exception for Enterprise, which was a very well done pre-TOS series. But Star Trek has aroused my interest in Science Fiction and everything related to space travel. Of course, the moon landing also contributed to this, although I did not really consciously experience it as a four-year-old boy. Later, of course, I also ate everything about Star Wars.
