Captain Kirk in a battle to the death with the Gorn. The Chasing of the first cloaked Romulan Warbird which had destroyed the Neutral Zone outposts. The Destruction of the "God" Vaal of those freaky red people. The takeover of the Chicago-style mafia planet as "The Federation" taking a cut from everyone. The destruction of Landru because "it wasn't really their civilization anymore". The destruction of the computer that had been simulating war in "A taste of Armageddon".

TOS was very different from TNG and DS9 and Voyager. It was an action-adventure in space where everyone was good and on the same side as long as they were on the Enterprise. I loved the new Star Trek movie (which, as Soundy mentioned was on and is coming back on shortly on Showcase) because it went back to the TOS roots. Progressive positive action. Of course, because they were rebooting to before the series had happened, they couldn't have any of the bonds that were in TOS without conflict to form them. That's just a reality.

Lens flares be damned, if he can revitalize Star Wars like he did Star Trek...damn.
