In preparation for your run through, I watched the whole of TAS on DVD. I noticed as the show went on, it got a little more boring (to me). Just became harder to get through. Like you said, the charm wore off. The early episodes were better than the later ones.

Lieutenant Commander Gary Mitchell might have called Kirk by the name Jim, but he was only around in that one second pilot episode or maybe I am thinking of Finnegan from Shore Leave. The co-writer of the episode was Russell Bates who was a full-blooded Kiowa Indian. Apparently Dorothy Fontana really wanted him to write a story about that culture. This episode was modeled after the original series episode Who Mourns for Adonais? as former original series producer Gene L. Coon, responsible for so much of the lore and success of Star Trek, had just died at the age of 49 from lung and throat cancer as he had been a chain smoker and a visitor to some of Nevada's nuclear bomb test sites. Gene L. Coon had apparently heavily rewritten the episode Who Mourns for Adonais? When Filmation submitted Star Trek for the Best Children's Series Emmy, this episode is the one they submitted, giving Star Trek its first Emmy award and the only best-series Emmy it has ever won, beating out Captain Kangaroo and The Pink Panther.
