Didn't TOS have an episode where they were attacked by a giant space amoeba?

...as did pretty much all of the series in one form or another

And attacked by the Greek God Apollo?

Yup.
And Kirk kicked his ass. 8)

And the half a dozen times they travelled through time?

And had a guest apperance by President Abraham Lincoln

Don't forget the time a few aliens from outside the galaxy turned the crew into carbon boxes and stole the ship

Oh yeah, and when the crew got turned into gunfighters at the OK corrall.

And the old Psi 2000 virus which made the crew go nuts and almost crashed the E-nil into the planet it was orbiting only to be saved by quickly coming up with a formula to start the 'cold' antimatter at the last minute and make the clock go backwards.

While "drunk".

And the ever so common cliche of travelling to a mirror universe

And ended up in a "haunted" castle, for Halloween. Ruled by a couple of spiders.

It wasn't a cliche when TOS did it.

And don't forget the two or three times they meet a civilization identical to one of earth's cultures, or a what-if of what would have happened had the Cold War happened, with a group having a flag and a constitution identical to the USA's.

And the gangsters. Oh God, did I love those friggin gansters. Of all the races that should have been re-visited, it should have been them.

They were going to do it for one of the aniversery episodes, but the went with Trials and Tribble-ations instead.

And let's never forget the deadly giant ice cream cone in space.
