There is some really terrible original Trek, whose only defense is being a product of the time. That said, you will still see the first interracial kiss on broadcast TV. The first season of The Next Generation is pretty stilted, but is still decent in my opinion. And, as is the overarching theme for Trek, questions about who, what, and why we are will be asked, and sometimes answers will be proposed.
The Gorn was laughable, but in SNW they are legitimately terrifying. The fact that every series has ties and often callbacks to others in the timeline is one of my favorite things about Trek, like Doctor Who it’s been going for decades but every part of the history is fodder for more exploration. DS9s Tribble episode is a great example, editing Sisko and Dax in behind Kirk and Spock
Yeah, the Gorn were so ridiculous, but also gave rise to Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock. The Tribbles were also ridiculous, but so fun, and a great nostalgic nod to TOS in DS9.
