TOS S01E01, S01E02, S01E03, S01E04

All of the Trek that I watched today:

Star Trek: The Original Series S01E01: "The Cage"
Star Trek: The Original Series S01E02: "The Man Trap"
Star Trek: The Original Series S01E03: "Charlie X"
Star Trek: The Original Series S01E04: "Where No Man Has Gone Before"


Observations: 

• Holy crap--and I know this isn't something I'm just noticing, and I know it won't be the last time I notice it--but for a fairly progressive science fiction program, TOS was soooooooper sexist.  In these first four episodes, the women are basically set-dressing--often manipulated by an alien power into behaving in a way that they wouldn't have been able to get away with writing otherwise in the conservative TV atmosphere of the late 1960s.
• They really liked the "make a young person look old" effect back then.
• TIGER TIGER BURNING BRIGHT IN THE FOREST OF THE NIGHT 
• Shout-y Spock is the best Spock.
• They definitely bet big on the "stuff on the bridge will burst into flames for, like...no reason at all" thing early and often.
• Not gonna lie...kinda wish I had silver eyeballs.
• JAMES R KIRK

A note on episode numbering...

My notations on which episodes are which (e.g. "S01E01") are based on the episode numbering as the series are presented in Netflix.  I realize that "The Cage" isn't generally considered a part of TOS S1, for example; or that many of the episodes were aired out-of-ordered compared with when they were filmed (e.g. "The Man Trap" is listed as the 5th episode of TOS S1 on Memory-Alpha, because of when it was shot).  For simplicity's sake, I'll be sticking with Netflix's numbering which is--more or less--the order in which the episodes were aired.
