The one that started it all. James T. Kirk didn't worry much about Political Correctness...he had a job to do. Actually I didn't get to see much of the original Star Trek during it's prime time network run (remember dads controlled the TV so it was usually Bonanza for us). I picked it up later during syndication like most people. There were two distinct popular culture genres for boys in the 1950's and 1960's. The 50's tended to focus on the past (cowboys and Indians, Davy Crockett, etc.), and the 60's focused more on the future with science fiction. I'm sure the space program and various technological advances were a major inspiration for that. There's plenty more Star Trek incarnations to watch...ahead warp factor two.
