I'll see your irreverence and raise you. I too was growing up when the original star trek came on the air. Didn't like it. Even then I gagged every time Kirk got his Shakespeare on. Now the second generation was another story, much much better. Almost any program or movie are 100% better off without William Shatner in them.
Almost. But not quite. The bold popinjay in the second generation would have been less than nothing but for shatner having made Kirk before him. The entire premise of Picard exists but in comparison with Kirk: "less of a man, but better for it because the universe is more neutered"
