You'd think if Gary were really all that powerful, he'd realize that the real power was the friends he made along the way.

Someone may have mentioned this already, but the first pilot made was called “The Cage” and did not have William Shatner, among others, cast in it. It was cut up and integrated into a two part episode called “The Menagerie” later in the first season.

By the way, the opening theme has actual lyrics, written by Gene Roddenberry, and Jack Black has performed them many times. I used to have one of them on a mix CD in my car, because I'm very old. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ojj9iGc6IE

And apparently it was a bit of a dick move... https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/unthemely-behavior/ > Pressured by Roddenberry, Courage had made a "handshake deal" a couple of years earlier that gave Roddenberry the option of composing lyrics for Courage's Star Trek music (and Courage signed a contract — unknowingly, he later claimed — to that effect). Roddenberry exercised that option, writing lyrics for the main theme and then asserting his right to half the performance royalties as a co-composer. > Courage protested in vain that although the arrangement may have been legal, it was unethical: Roddenberry's lyrics added nothing to the value of the music and were created for no reason other than to usurp half the composer's performance royalties. An unsympathetic Roddenberry proclaimed, "Hey, I have to get some money somewhere. I'm sure not going to get it out of the profits of Star Trek."

So speaking of mis-remembered things, like the Berenstain Bears, apparently red shirts do not die the most, sort of... https://www.startrek.com/news/did-redshirts-really-die-more-often-on-tos

All the important stuff has been addressed—star dates, interplanetary breeding among M-Class planet species, Vulcan emotions, the neck pinch—so I'll stick to useless observations, the strong point of those of us born under the astrological sign of Gabby, the small and annoying. In "Where No Man Has Gone Before," Kirk needlessly shoulder rolls on the ground before firing his phaser rifle at Gary. This becomes a series cliché, so much so that the writers incorporated it into the Star Trek homage Galaxy Quest, having Commander Peter Taggert (Tim Allen) shoulder roll needlessly before firing and killing Sarris in the Convention Center. Ladies, Gentlemen, Trekkies and Trekkers, I give you The Kirk Maneuver. (You're welcome, Simone.) In "The Naked Time," Kirk is still early on in his development. Here, he implies that he cannot form meaningful relationships because his true love, the Enterprise/his duty, gets in the way. It doesn't get in the way of him setting his universal translator to Joey Tribbiani mode and letting it say, "How you doing?" to every hot alien he meets when he's away from the ship, but horny Kirk is a story for another episode. Loving the TOS reactions. I hadn't seen these episodes in years, and I honestly didn't think they'd hold up, but I've been pleasantly surprised. I can hardly wait until next week.

"those contact lenses look uncomfortable." They were. According to the book "These are the voyages: Vol. 1" (which I recommend if you want every possible bit of TOS production trivia): "[the] solution was to crumple tinfoil and laminate it between two layers of lenses. A small pinprick in the foil would allow the actors to see. That was the theory anyway. [...] Gary [Lockwood] couldn't stand it. He'd have them in for one second and he'd scream: "Get these lenses out of my eyes!" Lockwood said: "It was the most miserable six days of my life. I'm not exaggerating. I couldn't wear those lenses very long. And I'm kind of a tough cowboy guy, but my eyes just became so irritated after a period of time. It was the worst.""

Speaking of early development: Spock looks wildly different in all of these early episodes. His skin is sometimes almost green and his eyebrows are all over the place, as they hadn't quite figured out how "alien" he's supposed to look.

Good ol Cinebinge. Come for the discussions of TV and movies, stay for the discussions of inter-species erotica.

Just so George knows that it exists out there somewhere the exchange: "What's it for?" "Well, nothing, nothing, I mean, that's the beauty of it. Every machine in the world does something, but not mine." Appears in an episode of 60s show Burke's Law. I don't know why people seem to have memory of this random tv show but I know cause it was sampled by a musician I like.
