For real something was wrong with the TOS stunt coordinator or something.

It looks a lot like stage fighting. Something that would still be clear to viewers sitting really far away (or I guess with tiny, blurry 1960s TVs in this case).

It's basically that. These have a lot in common with pro-wrestling moves. They all carry some element of risk (like the drop kick), but the physicality isn't impossible to achieve with some coaching.

There is a huge stage influence. Just look at how 90% of the planets are a couple of boulders in front of a cyc.

Nothing wrong at all. Nearly everything is overdone in the OG series. That’s why I love it.
