Star Trek Revisited: Rewatching TOS in the 21st Century
by PlaidAdder

A complete series of episode reviews written after re-watching all three seasons of Star Trek (the original series) between 2011-2013. Each review consists of a plot synopsis (rendered as entertaining as possible) followed by analysis/reflection. These reviews were originally posted on LiveJournal. I am crossposting them here, where it is much easier to keep the whole series in one place.

I first became a fan of TOS in the 1980s when I was an adolescent girl. I am now a middle-aged lesbian who, let's say, knows a lot more about gender issues than I did back then. There will be some discussion of same. If you're not interested in gender politics, you might not have a whole lot of fun with these reviews. If you are, though, you may discover that gender in TOS is actually more complicated--a Vulcan might even call it fascinating--than it might at first appear.

I love the show, but I do not love it uncritically. I believe there is much to be learned by asking the question: Exactly why and how did this particular episode get this bad?

Oh, also, I see slash people. But in TOS, believe me, it's there. And not just because we want it to be there, either. Enjoy!

только там к/с, но! оно интересно весьма, например, она пишет, что All Our Yesterdays слизаны с доктора Живаго, ай мин историю Спока и Зарабет.

Да пускай, уж больно вступление заинтриговало. Живаго не читало, но вполне допускаю, в стар треке дофига всякого разного понапихано: шекспировского, библейского. Попадался разбор.
