Is there anybody here who can enlighten me on why, in certain scenes, light would be shone upon an actor’s eyes in TOS? I believe they stopped that during the first season.

I would bet it’s because they were still filming with black and white TVs in mind, so some of the lighting choices reflect how it will look in black and white. Example.

Still I find the lighting unnatural (personally), so there must have been some special reason to do it.
