One mild issue I have with TOS is how Kirk is always the one coming up with solutions. I find it very strange because McCoy and Spock have a very specific role in the dynamic: one of them rapresents instinct and the other logic (to put it simply for the purpose of this). But when one of these two skills is needed to solve the episode's problem, they are always instrumental for Kirk to get to the solution, they're never the one who actually solve it. It's a pity because it makes the "side" characters feel less important, and they should give Kirk a break too.
