There are other notable differences in style, like camera placement and way more camera movement. In my conversations with the late Ralph Senensky, he lamented the decline in production craft, saying he could not watch modern TV, and reminding us of John Ford: “move the actor, not the camera.”

You are right, though, that the main reasons were the loss of Gene Coon and antics by Shatner and Nimoy. The loss of Coon had a big impact on Senensky as well, as the quality of production started going down. It’s so sad that nobody seemed to realize the gold mine that was Star Trek. #TOSSatNight

Infographic time! Here's a recap/overview of my scores for Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS).
Considering this is the show that set the standard for the franchise, the series average is fitting—3.0 is my baseline for what Trek should ideally be.
Interesting which writer ended up on the bottom!

I missed the news that Ralph Senensky had passed. It was a privilege even to be able to leave comments on his blog and get a response from him -- what a legend. One of those lights from an age, now lost, that's just blinked out. :-(
Among many things, he gave us Spock hanging from a tree, happy.

Sorry to note the passing of journeyman TV director Ralph Senesky at the age of 102. Beginning in the Goldren Age, he would direct eps of dozens of classic shows, including six STAR TREKs. He was also the last surviving director of an original series TWILIGHT ZONE installment ("Printer's Devil").

Ralph Senensky had a huge collection of golden age movie posters in an upstairs bedroom. Hundreds of them. Disappointed at how few of the classic movies I had seen, he rattled off a list of “must see” movies, which I scribbled down as fast as I could. Here is his list. #TOSSatNight
