    Yep. The main characters on Star Trek TOS are Captain Kirk, Commander Spock and Dr. McCoy. Scotty, Sulu, Uhura, Chekov, Rand, Chapel, Kyle etc. are supporting characters.

    TNG, once they got their shit together, was a true ensemble cast, the various characters took turns starring in individual episodes.

    I don't agree. TOS was just as much of an ensemble. Most promotional cast photos are group shots like this

    Sure, the big three got the most screen time and stories, but the rest had big parts as well.
