I think it only reaches rape level of creepy very few times, but there's a clear focus on Kirk getting the girl because he's the hero. Still enjoy TOS, for sure, but I'm more enthralled by DS9.

Oh don't get me wrong it's only a few times and again i love the show but it only takes once for me to feel ill. Sorry maybe I am reading too much into it but that sort of thing has always made me feel a little sick.

Still there are plenty of great episodes where that doesn't happen,I am just saying I know some people who consider TOS to be the low point of the franchise and will not watch it for that reason and while you and I may think they are being short sighted I would be lying if I said I don't understand how they feel.

Still any show that produced Balance of Terror is okay in my book.
