One of the reasons why I believe the original ST series remains the best among all of these shows is the portrayal of these characters, and the writing. The original series managed to make me care about these characters a lot, as well as marvel at their ability to overcome repeated problems and situations, usually relying on each other. These characters all "had each others back", so to speak. The relationship between the "big three", Kirk Spock and McCoy, has IMO never been duplicated in any other ST television series, especially that of Spock and Dr. Leonard McCoy. Here's a clip from the episode "Bread And Circuses", a clip that illustrates the relationship between these two men:
I couldn't agree with you more. I like, to varying degrees, all the Star Trek shows. But the original series will always be the best. The characters were just so likable and admirable. TNG comes close, but none of the other crews can beat the original.
