Star Trek: The Original Series

Star Trek: The Original Serieshad three lackluster season finales.

WhileTOSdelivered many iconic episodes, none of its three season finales were particularly memorable.

The television landscape of the 1960s was vastly different from that of today.

Aside from soap operas, most television shows were purely episodic, meaning each episode told a self-contained story.

Because of this,none of the season enders forStar Trek: The Original Seriesfeel like true finales.

Each season finale feels just like a regular episode of the series, and not even particularly great ones.
