As a long time Trekkie I watched the shows in chronological order. Set in the years before Capt. Kirk and the series was "Enterprise." They were done in the era of computer graphics. They encountered the Varn (I think that is the name of the lizard folks in the photo above. In the Enterprise version the computer graphics were pretty good. The Varn or lizard folks looked like a a real creature, and not a man in a rubber suit. The stories on the original Star Trek were good, and the opening of many shows had them orbiting another planet. The planets from space were wonderful, most of the other special effects, not so much.
You do have to realize they were made for broadcast TV on the 1960s with a very low budget. They have all been remastered in high def and the props are often laughable now. The swords are obvious cardboard with silver paint, and no edge except the corrugated cardboard edge cut square.
