The first couple seasons were still under Gene Roddenberry's control. He maintained that there should not be any conflict between the crew members. That made the first couple seasons a little strange.
Interesting that it's considered to have gotten better when he wasn't controlling it? I didn't realize that.
He had his eccentricities. It's hard to make a compelling show about human stories when the main cast aren't allowed to have interpersonal conflicts. But his vision of the utopian future would be that society wouldn't have in-fighting anymore.
