Star Trek: The Original Series – Pluto TV

Pluto TV's dedicated Star Trek: The Original Series channel is a peculiar beast. It runs the same 79 episodes on a loop, no curation, no scheduling, just endless Kirk and Spock. That's either a dream or a trap. The episodes appear in their original broadcast order, which means you'll see the more polished second and third seasons mixed with the clumsy pilot 'The Cage' (retooled as 'The Menagerie'). The prints are decent but not remastered, you get 1960s effects, which some purists prefer. No commercials? Actually, Pluto runs ad breaks, but they're sparse. For a show so meme-ified and quoted, watching it raw is curiously refreshing. You'll catch details, the way Shatner pauses, the weirdly progressive subtext. For fans who want to watch Star Trek: The Original Series-Pluto TV online, this is the only live option without a subscription. Categorized as General tv Unknown, the channel offers zero metadata or episode descriptions. You just press play. Not a channel for binge-watching a serial arc, but for dipping in and out? The repetitive loop becomes meditative. Star Trek: The Original Series-Pluto TV live is a time capsule. Just don't expect surprises.
