Something I love about TOS is the audio mixing. It’s something common in media that existed before the millennium - I can hear every single word. No mumbling. No jarring extremes between quiet and loud scenes where I’m forever having to adjust the tv volume.
As someone with auditory processing disorder, it’s just such a relief not to have to rewind dialogue or rely on subtitles ;_;
The current trend of mumbling dialogue with zero intonation, and piss-poor mixing means I literally can’t watch movies in the theatre. The bass is so high it creates distortion - and we’re all just meant to put up with this???

Keep in mind there are SO MANY characters in star trek there’s no way to include as many characters as deserve to be here. If you have respectful suggestions, I’d be happy to turn them into a follow up poll!
Personally I love Picard’s hand gesture when he says engage, Riker’s head lean into the direction he’s turning, Sisko fiddling with his baseball, and Data moving his eyes like he’s reading when he pulls up information internally. But I know those aren’t big famous moves :)

Season 3! Episode 1! (Spock’s Brain)! Time to watch a guy lose his mind. Literally:
- Scotty’s got a new hair cut.
- I like her purple outfit (10/10 would wear myself, that and those boots)
- Nap time on the bridge, turn off the lights
- He’s eepy (don’t take his brain!)
- sleepy
- Diagnoses you with “brain is gone”
- The camp of this episode is camping
- “Then we’ll have to take him with us.” “Take- take him where?” “In search of his brain, Doctor.” Do they realize how bizarre this is?
- I’d say there should be a game where you take a shot every time they say ‘Spock’s brain’ in this episode but that would be irresponsible
- Kirk is having a lot of interaction with the bridge crew this episode
- Uhura asking the right questions
- “If I guess wrong Mr Spock is dead. Spock will die.” He cares and is scared
- “Life form readings, Mr Spock- Mr Scott.” Damn
- “The givers of pain… and delight.” Cool song title
- This is unsettling. Like worse than most horror movies. Imagine controlling your friends body with a remote because they don’t have any brain
- They didn’t give McCoy any warning about the trap activating
- Heating up rocks with phasers
- I love how Spock is still saying fascinating even just as a brain
- When Kirk can hear Spock’s voice again he goes up to his body so he can pretend to talk to him normally
- “Captain, there is a definite pleasurable experience connected with the hearing of your voice.”
- Sleep
- Sleepy
- Once again they gave Kirk period pain
- Sulu on the bridge
- “I think science provides us with an answer.” “It does, captain.” “Agreed, Doctor.” *all three proceed to kick the shit out of you.*
- They’re all violent and feral in this episode
- McCoy’s boots fly up
- Those buttons to control Spock are so specific, I can barely turn on a light switch if there’s more than three buttons
- McCoy is so ready to potentially die to save Spock
- Massive Migraine McCoy
- James “I’d die before I break the prime directive” Kirk breaking the prime directive
- THE OVERLAYING OF FACES AND MCCOY SWEATING WHILE KIRK NARRATES. IM DEAD. WHO DID THIS.
- This is fucked up. What the fuck is happening
- *wakes up from brain surgery and starts info dumping*
- “I should have never reconnected his mouth.” You love him and you missed him. Admit it. Awww the laugh he lets out as Spock just continues
This was… an experience…

I need to express my love for Scotty, specifically in the TOS episode "Spectre of the Gun", which is another favourite of mine, because, he's so fucking beautiful in that episode. Him and Bones...ugh I CANT!
Scotty also is funny as fuck in that episode, just necks back the whiskey saying "it's to kill the pain" then Spock looking at him like "😕" saying "but this is painless" then Scotty holding a face back because of the alcohol saying "you should have warned me sooner Mr spock"
THE AMOUNT OF TIMES IVE WATCHED THIS EPISODE JUST FOR MCCOY AND SCOTTY...it's an embarrassingly large amount I have to say
