What episode do you watch the most?

Guys, I don't think we're supposed to hotlink images directly from Trekcore, unless the administrator of the site has indicated that it's okay. But anyway...

The Menagerie Parts I and II. I love how compassionate and loyal Spock is in this episode.
Ditto. I love making a "movie night" out of The Menagerie. I love the exchange between Kirk and Spock at the end of Part I.

I have TOS on blu ray and on a laptop. Looking at my laptop the play counter tells me what I have watched the most. To quote the great Billy Travers in Buckaroo Banzai -- "This could be highly revealing."

1. That Which Survives 25 plays
2. Obsession 20 plays
3. The Tholian Web 20 plays
4. Let That Be Your Last Battlefield 18 plays
5. Wink of an Eye 17 plays
6. Mirror, Mirror 17 plays
7. Elaan of Troyius 16 plays
8. The Savage Curtain 15 plays
9. A Taste of Armageddon 14 plays
10. Journey to Babel 14 plays

This isn't a best of or favourites list (although I do love these) just what I have watched most on my laptop.

If I watch on my laptop it is usually late at night after work. For some reason I find That Which Survives really good late, late night viewing. I also find it funnier than may have been intended.

I favor season 3 here even though I think 1 is the best Star Trek Season of all time. Lately I have been favoring Whom Gods Destroy and The Omega Glory and they are moving up the list.

What have I watched least in this format? Why it's Spock's Brain bringing up the rear with only 1 play. It has lots of humorous elements but for me it is dull compared to That Which Survives and Wink of an Eye. I guess I would rather have Spock snotty with Lt. Rahda and Dr. M'Benga than brainless.

I just watched part one and two today, this may be a weird thing to focus on, but the set design was AMAZING in those episodes with the hand painted backgrounds and everything. I love older shows and movies for that reason. Like I really love old silent films too. If you ever get a chance, watch the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari!

Thanks, that does sound interesting!

I haven't kept track of the numbers, but the favorites I tend to go back to over and over include "Journey to Babel," "Devil in the Dark," "Arena," "Conscience of the King," and "The Doomsday Machine."

And, of course, I've watched "Space Seed" and "Assignment: Earth" innumerable times.
 
Back when I was a twenty something, and stumbled in my front door late at night after the pub, armed with a few beers and some Chinese food, I would almost always settle down with my best friend at the time and one of my younger brothers, and watch one of either
"Balance of Terror", "The Enemy Within" or "The Menagerie" parts I and II.
Happy days.
 
"Arena" which is my 8-year old son's favorite, and "Corbomite Maneuver," which happens to be the first choice of my 5-year old!
