My divorced mom was a big fan of TOS, so much so that I was almost named Kirk.

Being divorced w/ 3 kids the TV was a pretty good babysitter. Something to keep us distracted while she did cooked and cleaned.

I’ve seen every episode of TOS at least 20 times, over the years, so remembering the first one is impossible. However as a kid my favorite one was the one with Gorn!

I have never really been into Star Trek but that’s mostly because I have never properly introduced myself to it.

My first contact was the 2009 film Star Trek, which upon looking at the rest of the franchise feels so grandiose in the action genre but also had a few great character moments. I enjoyed that one and then the Black Mirror parody episode U.S.S Callister was really good too

Besides that I have seen a few odd scenes and memes but really want to get into the series someday.

Original series shortly after it went into syndication. The episode I first remember is “Let That Be Your Last Battlefield” and it has shaped my view of society greatly.
