So, what RAMA is pointing out above is that there was already another "Top 10" TOS thread. I'm relatively new here myself and don't wish to be a "bad BBS member" but, since no one has posted in the other thread in over a month, I'll put my list here. I imagine if it needs to be moved, one of the mods will inform us (or just move it). BTW, this is insanely difficult. 1. The Doomsday Machine 2. Mirror, Mirror 3. The Enterprise Incident 4. Balance of Terror 5. Shore Leave 6. City on the Edge of Forever 7. The Trouble With Tribbles 8. Journey to Babel 9. The Ultimate Computer 10. The Tholian Web Is it really obvious that I like episodes in which other Federation starships are depicted? I almost put The Omega Glory on the list too but, frankly, it pales in comparison to some of the others IMHO.
My list constantly shifts... it's easier to pick out which one of my children is my favorite. A Taste of Armageddon The Omega Glory All Our Yesterdays The Cage Where No Man Has Gone Before The Doomsday Machine The Ultimate Computer Dagger of the Mind This Side of Paradise A Private Little War
1. Amok Time 2. Bread and Circuses 3. The Conscience of the King 4. The City on the Edge of Forever 5. A Taste of Armageddon 6. Journey to Babel 7. The Corbomite Maneuver 8. Errand of Mercy 9. Who Mourns for Adonais? 10. The Paradise Syndrome
1.) Journey to Babel 2.) The Conscience of the King 3.) Amok Time 4.) Devil in the Dark 5.) Arena 6.) The City on the Edge of Forever 7.) The Enterprise Incident 8.) Balance of Terror 9.) Space Seed 10.) The Doomsday Machine
In alphabetical order: Balance of Terror The City on the Edge of Forever Court Martial The Devil in the Dark The Doomsday Machine Journey to Babel Mirror, Mirror The Naked Time The Ultimate Computer Where No Man Has Gone Before
Aaargghhh! I saw Amok Time and A Taste of Armageddon on other peoples' lists and realized they're among my faves as well! Can I have 12 episodes in my top 10?
1. The Doomsday Machine 2. The Ultimate Computer 3. The Trouble With Tribbles 4. The Enterprise Incident 5. Balance of Terror 6. Assignment: Earth 7. The Tholian Web 8. Elaan of Troyius 9. Space Seed 10. Tomorrow is Yesterday
That's what's sucky about a top ten list. It isn't necessarily the same as a list of all top picks or essentials. I would have liked to have had space for those two as well.
(1) Mirror, Mirror (2) The Doomsday Machine (3) Shore Leave (4) Elaan of Troyius (5) Metamorphosis (6) Requiem for Methuselah (7) The Tholian Web (8) The Empath (9) What Are Little Girls Made Of (10) Obsession
1. The Cage 2. City on the Edge of Forever 3. The Menagerie 4. The Naked Time 5. Balance of Terror 6. The Empath 7. This Side of Paradise 8. Shore Leave 9. Journey to Babel 10. Mirror, Mirror
