Other than the interracial kiss, "Plato's Stepchildren" is just a waste of celluloid ("I'm Tweedle Dum, he's Tweedle Dee"...please!)
An epp I would not have missed had it not been made:
- Thread starter Stella's_Funboy
- Start date
OUCH! - yes, that scene is so painful to watch.
I'm going to get murdered for this, but I HATE 'Amok Time.' Just so awkward...it gives me the creeps, seriously. Actually, I find the whole concept of Pon Farr to be awkward and creepy.
I like 'The Apple'! I just rename it as 'Mr Spock's Terrible, Horrible, No Good Very Bad Day.'

These I like/don't like threads are pretty dusty.
And I realize that, to coin a phrase, "there's no accounting for taste."
Still, one's credulity is strained. If you can't handle "Amok Time", at least don't admit affection for "The Apple" in the same statement. Granted, we all have our guilty pleasures.
But your mental stability is in serious doubt.
My mental stability is in doubt because of which episodes of a TV show I like/don't like? I think that's a bit of a stretch...
It was a joke...
Don't you know it's not a joke unless you type a semi colon and a closed parentheses on the interweb. Otherwise what is typed is to be taken as deadly serious as a declaration of war.
<----see it's a funny!Well all right...I mean, you never know, right? Some fans really are that hardcore...
And The Children Shall Lead is so, so bad. The Alternative Factor is pretty horrible too.
While it's never been one of my favorites, I don't think Patterns of Force qualifies as a stinker. It's certainly not one of Treks shining moments, but it is not one of the worst moments either.
Many fans find Plato's Stepchildren embarrassing. It had to be embarrassing for the actors too. But I think that part of the point of that scene was to show how people with great power become so arrogant and condescending that they actually find the embarrassment of others entertaining. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. The scene makes the audience uncomfortable. Perhaps it is supposed to. I don't know. Maybe they just got sick of Shatner's ego and decided to take him down a notch.

Well, he didn't fare out too bad. He got to kiss a hot chick in it, didn't he?
I still think one of the worst ones was Charlie X. Or, The Way To Eden.
And miss out on Spock's "I love you, however, I hate you" scene? Never.
Yep, easily my favorite scene in I Mudd, and I love that episode.
Hmmm hard to pick but I have two I don't particularly care for-
Tomorrow is Yesterday and Assignment-Earth. I tend to hate episodes that took the crew back into the past.

The appropriately named Omega Glory eternally sits at the bottom of my TOS episode list.
No!
No no!

Catspaw. Still don't get it, don't think I ever will.
