I'm attempting to watch every Star Trek episode ever, including the movies and the animated series. That is 546 hrs. I have watched the first 5 episodes of the original series and omg they are so sexist. The way they talk about women and treat women in the series is horrible. I made the comment on twitter that if an Ardat-Yakshi like Morinth was to encounter the federation, all of it, the entire federation is this way it seems, they'd all have their life sucked from them. All of them.
Oh 60's and your sexism. It's crazy to see how far we've come since then. It was okay to have a futuristic show have a character be alarmed because a woman was on the command deck. "Sorry i'm not used to women up here." You break all these boundaries with having different ethnicity then you take two steps back with sexism.
The stories themselves aren't bad it's just so limited do to the technology in those days. Monsters are people in suits.
ALSO even the seductive green dancing lady isn't very seductive when she can't dance....
