I think this one was really underrated
TOS: The Doomsday Machine, streamed on Netflix.
The last voyage of the USS Constellation. An old favorite.
Missed opportunity in the TOS-R project: adding in the missing sound of the DM's tractor beam. Everyone on the bridge reacts to the sound, Lt. Palmer even covers her ears with her hands, but we never hear it.

DS9 "Valiant" on H&I.
So at the beginning Jake and Nog have just left a starbase when it and they come under Dominion attack. And they are rescued by the allegedly 'lost' starship Valiant. So...if the Valiant was that close to a Federation starbase. Exactly how was it considered 'lost'? They were literally minutes from a starbase.
Also, Nog being the only commissioned Starfleet officer on board should have taken command.

"Is There In Truth No Beauty" - TOS
Some outdated "Women are so intoxicating" fawning over Miranda but the link between Spock and the Medusan is a great scene.

I really like the basic idea of an alien civilization taking flight into their own past to escape their planets doom. I also think Mr Atoz is cool. Some serious negatives though:
1) What's up with the acting in season 3? It's so stilted. Is it just poor direction? Poor dialog?
2) The episode would have been better without most of Kirk's part of the plot. An Earth-like past complete with English accents and Three Musketeers costuming was pretty silly. It also took away from the much more interesting Spock, McCoy, and Zarabeth situation.
3) Speaking of Kirk - I know we need some action scenes, but I think we could have had something a little more thrilling than a climax featuring him beating up a septuagenarian.
There were some really cool ideas in seasons 2 and 3, but the execution was lacking far too often.
Edited to add: It just occurred to me that if the episode did focus more on Spock, McCoy, and Zarabeth it would have a lot in common with the Voyager episode "Gravity."

Watched DS9's Thing Past, Voyager's Projections, and Enterprise's Regeneration.

...I love Janeway in this one.

The Aenar (ENT Blu-ray). I remember watching this episode when it first aired on UPN at my cousin's house shortly after my mother suffered a debilitating stroke back in 2005. It's annoying that the fourth season Blu-rays have the 3-episode arcs split between 2 discs, making it impossible to watch the entire arc uninterrupted.
A 50th anniversary rewatch "By Any Other Name" would smell as sweet...or something like that.
TOS “Arena”, as part of my continuing TOS rewatch as I follow along with the rachelwatchesstartrek.com podcast. My favourite part of this episode has got to be the Gorn chuckling away as he builds his trap!
Great block of episodes from DS9's final season.

"Tell Doctor McCoy he should have wished me luck."
"Shut up, Spock! We're rescuing you."
Some great Spock and Bones lines in that one.
I watched A Piece of the Action this morning.
Violations (TNG) on DVD - still continuing through a stretch of episodes which I haven't watched in ages. I liked this one more than I thought I would - I'm glad the victims of the mind rape (specifically called rape in the episode) weren't only women. However, the episodic nature of TNG meant that whatever lingering affects such a violation would have would not been seen again. Still, a decent enough episode in it's own right even though it's not amongst the best of the season.
