What makes Trek really special to me is the ethos, the values it has always promoted - curiosity, rationality, empathy, openness, and an appreciation of the fact that diversity is not only beautiful but also can be a source of great strength (represented by the vulcan "IDIC" philosophy - infinite diversity in infinite combinations). It is thoroughly humanistic, and a very welcome change from the moral pessimism that has become so rampant in the stories we tell and consume - the misanthropy, fatalism and tired "it's only 'real' if our protagonists are forced to do horrible things"-trope. It appeals to the better angels of our nature - more than any mass media phenomenon or narrative universe I know. This was right in the middle of the civil rights movement - shortly after the biggest flare-up of the Cold War, and not that long after WWII... so to have a Russian Navigator, a Japanese Helmsman, and black female Communications Officer, and an alien first officer is just fantastic. In the unaired pilot, you even had a female first officer - the network didn't like that, though. I'm very happy you're doing this :)

Kirk is famously a character whose public perception is colored more by the stereotypes people have of him and the satire about him than by the actual stories featuring the character. Certainly it's a 60s show where there are pretty women falling for the captain, or trying to seduce him (while he plays along) etc - but his priority is always his crew, his ship, and his mission. He is duty-bound to a fault.

I was reading that Spock's pronunciation of "sensors" was Leonard Nimoy trying to cover his native Boston accent.

New Patron, just watching this today - something to keep in mind about the Venus drug and how it transformed the women is that this show was originally intended to be viewed over broadcast on tiny, staticy, 640x480 CRT tv screens. Many of them would not have even had color capabilities unless they were pretty new. So the effect of the makeup changes would have been far more subtle to original viewers. In these 4k copies we have now, you can see every eyelash and wrinkle. Back then, it would have been at best the suggestion of a change.
