nothing will come close to the cultural impact that the original had.

That's part of the reason why I probably wouldn't recommend old trek first to somebody. We don't have the benefit of being able to go back to the cultural moment of the '60s Trek.

I compare it to how Wizard of Oz is a great movie, but you can't really experience the transition to color that happened in the movie the same way someone in 1939 did. Plenty of TV shows were still in black and white all the way into the '60s.
