The first aired Trek ep I always thought wasn't the best one to start with. My guess is that in 66, they wanted a "monster" to start with. This also mostly revolves around McCoy, and not Kirk - which I thought was pic.twitter.com/MDxSPaFIWH

an odd choice for ep1. Not bad, but I would have chosen another for first. When the salt creature gets on the Enterprise its ability to mimic feels like an overused sci-fi trope. First screen for Rand, Sulu, Uhura. pic.twitter.com/vNF1w34VX8
