Episodes nobody ever talks about

[Miramanee]

Or hardly ever:
The Mark of Gideon
Operation: Annihilate!
The Empath
The Ultimate Computer
Elaan of Troyius
Mudd's Women
Return to Tomorrow
That Which Survives
For the World is Hollow...
Patterns of Force
A Private Little War
Obsession

 

[Spock's Barber]

I like most of those episodes. The only one that busts my chops is Patterns of Force. I just have a low tolerance for 'parallel planet' episodes. I mean, what was going to be next...a Girls Gone Wild parallel planet?

 

[Jayson1]

It's got to be "The Immunity Syndrome." Other than Spock being able to sense the force and figuring out the Starfleet ship filled with all Vulcans is all about, I think everything else is ignored. Which is a shame. It's got some of the best Spock/McCoy banter in it.

Yes.

Strange now that you mention it, it would have fit in with "Gene's Vision"

Ah, yes, Gene never met an aspiring actress that he didn't like.

 

[Tenacity]

Or hardly ever:

All of the episodes you list are infinitely superior to TNG's Masks.

They each have their individual moment and often include pieces of TOS universe building, offering clues into future Human society, Starfleet and the the 23rd century in general.

I can't think of anything good in The Mark of Gideon

I do like the scene where Kirk starts to beam down, but reappears immediately back in the Transporter Room. Other than that, it's just another 3rd season/Fred Freiberger bummer.

 

[Spock's Barber]

Anyone else out there in interspace like Operation : Annihilate?

I love S3...

I love S3...

me too; loved it as a kid, b\c I wanted to live on Enterprise.


And GR did a girls' planet ep as a whole, creepy movie, Pretty Maids All in a Row.

Sure, that's a good one.

That episode was probably written after the writer got stung by a jellyfish and was "Damn that hurts"

One of my favourites as a child! Those Amoeba's throbbing and errking scared me when I first saw them clinging to the underside of that room! The command decision on Kirk's shoulders to not let them go beyond Deneva also was excellent!

[Spock's Barber]

Shooting on location at that futuristic 'city' really helped the episode. IIRC, it was actually the former headquarters of TRW, now it is Northrup/Grumman.

 

[Jayson1]

Anyone else out there in interspace like Operation : Annihilate?

I do. I like all "Star Trek" episodes just a little. Even the bad ones. I would choose one bad episode of Trek anyday over a good episode of NCIS or CSI or any number of Respectable type shows that simply aren't special in anyway.

[Joanna McCoy-Kirk]

I always thought Kirk and Odona made a cute couple.

 

[Sir Rhosis]

That episode was probably written after the writer got stung by a jellyfish and was "Damn that hurts"

Or after he read THE PUPPET MASTERS by Robert A. Heinlein...

 

[marlboro]

I love "A Private Little War." Don't look now Captain, but you're in one of those no-win scenarios that you don't believe in. Top 10 TOS episode for me.
