I grew up with TNG and only saw TOS retroactively, hearing all the tropes about Kirk and his exploits. But you know what? Kirk didn't get half as much ass as Riker. Kirk was just seen on camera a bit more often with his stuff. Riker's is all implied and from dialogue about his personal life.
I feel like TOS was a LOT more subtle about it. So many scenes where you've got Kirk holding a lady, fade to black, fade to a sunrise or some shit.
Sure. But you can't blame Trip.
The Tylered V'oq vs. Hippie V'oq fight should have gotten a deeper spin. The whole V'oq arc was left behind and not concluded in a satisfactory way.
I somehow liked the Disco Klingons, but the hate they got made them disappear from the show almost instantly. Q'rell was taken along, but the whole Klingon war was handled offscreen.
3 cm isn't even 1¼" - that's not thick at all for any textbook.
Maybe it's all just visual aids on what body part goes where?
Riker too!
