If you know what Roddenbury had in mind you might like the show better.

Gene's ORIGINAL sales pitch called Star Trek 'Wagon Train to the stars'.

And taken that way, it was very fine and broke some new ground.
Just comparing the 2 pilots (not one) will clue you in to this idea.
The FIRST pilot was very cerebral and involved mind control and invisible prison walls. NO Kirk, either. Majel Barret was #1, later demoted to head nurse while Spock got the #1 'job'. The Green Woman was pretty darn sexy, too. Maybe TOO sexy for the times!
The SECOND pilot was ALL action / adventure and had Keir Dullea and Sally Kellerman along with the crew as we know it.
The FIRST pilot called 'The Cage' was LATER editied in with NEW footage and shown, IIRC, as a 2-parter during the regular run of the show.

Too much is never enough
