Kirk was a great cowboy. 35 seems ridiculously young for a captain. I understand the studio nixed Roddenberry's first choice (Lloyd Bridges) for being too old. It would make sense that studio meddling would want the show to be more like Bonanza(a hot ticket for NBC).

Kirk was much more responsible in the animated series (and unlike TOS, that show won an Emmy).

Who likes Wesley Crusher? I can't stand Ewoks.

All six series seem more like morality play than science fiction. TOS went furthest of the bunch in pushing contemporary norms, but Picard's role was some kind of embodiment of the mode, almost leaning on the fourth wall imo.
