I've seen both of Abram's new movies (OMGosh I loved them!!), and several episodes from varying seasons. I've grown up in a family of Geeks (only the other day we were debating getting life size Iron Man armor) but I've never sat through the whole series so I figured it was time. So in these posts I'll be talking about how I feel about each episode I've seen. You can expect about a post a week, but be warned, because some days I can watch several hours of television (current record is somewhere between 8 and 10 Supernatural episodes).
To start it off, the Pilot of The Original Series, "The Cage":
The pilot is about Capt. Pike, so at first I wasn't sure how much I would enjoy it. I really just wanted to get to Capt. Kirk and comp., but I watched it anyways. I liked it. The story kept me captivated even when the special effects did not. However, I can appreciate the special effects because they actually weren't crappy, but decently got the job done without to much glitz to them. They seemed more real life. As a pilot it gave a pretty good idea of how the show was going to turn out and what was planned. In the end I give it a 4 out of 5, pilot wise. Episode wise it probably only gets a 3 out of 5.
Next I watched "The Man Trap":
Finally we get to see Capt. Kirk and comp.! I found myself immersed in this episode and was waiting for the ending like I would anything else-- both hoping it would come so I could see how it wrapped up and get to the next one, and hoping it wouldn't come so I could spend even more time with these characters. I give it 3 out of 5.
Finally, this morning I saw "Charlie X":
It had some parallels to the pilot, but gave us more of Jim. I give this, too, a 3 out of 5.
