I watched all of TOS a couple of years ago. The very good and great episodes completely make up for it. But most of the episodes are bad or terrible. And it's amazing how many times you could recycle a plot back when you could only watch a show when it aired once a week. Kirk must have talked a dozen AIs into self destructing by introducing them to the concept of a logical paradox.

TOS is more of a great cultural artifact than a "good" TV show.

The movies hold up, at least 2, 3, 4, and 6.

I agree. It's value is mostly in the subsequent material it inspired. But, again, the handful or two of truly great episodes really are all-timers that more than redeem the misses... The many, many misses... Lol
