Fair enough, but I have to ask the question anyway. Shows in the TNG era take the PD much more seriously. The problem is that in TOS the PD doesn't exist in way more episodes than in episodes where it does. It makes you wonder why the thing was invented in the first place.

As SFDebris points out, for the record, the concept of the Prime Directive changed drastically between TOS and the later series, from "You'd better have a really good reason to do anything to affect a primitive civilization even a tiny bit" to "No no no, not even to save a billion squillion lives!"
