I had been watching through the episodes with my family, but I wasn't entirely interested at first. We've been going through the episodes chronologically of when they debuted on TV, and as the series has gone on, it's gotten more interesting to me. The last episodes we watched were both parts of
The Menagerie, which I thought were the best episodes so far. I thought it was interesting how they put the original pilot of Star Trek in those episodes.
So as not to derail the thread any longer, I'll put another random fact on here:
The first American president to be photographed was the 6th president and and son of one of the American Founding Fathers,
John Quincy Adams. The daguerreotype of him was taken in 1843, several years after he had already left his presidency. The daguerreotype can be seen in his Wikipedia article. The first American president to be photographed while in office was
James K. Polk in 1849, the 11th president. It was the last year of Polk's presidency and the year he died. His daguerreotype can also be seen on his Wikipedia article.
Another random fact about American presidents: the 2nd president, John Adams (father of John Quincy Adams) and 3rd president, Thomas Jefferson, both died on the same day. Jefferson died five hours before Adams did. The day they died: the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, which was July 4, 1826.
