The last two episodes that I watched were a bit of a pain in the butt… Basically rewarching the first episode, but with breaks, while Spock is suspected of treason. It’s not too long since I watched the first episode so felt a bit too repetitive
Sounds like you watched a distro that included the original pilot (The Cage) as the first episode, whereas in the og season that aired, that episode never aired and was instead recut by Rodenbery later with new trial footage as The Menagerie two parter. Really creative use of discarded footage to stretch the budget and introduce background canon for Spock and the Enterprise crew.

But otherwise I am enjoying myself quite a lot!

That makes a lot more sense! Thanks
