Best guest star

Meg Wyllie. It's a long way from the Delancey Street Mission House to Talos IV, but she wore her bulbous head very well.
 
I hate the acronyms for episode names. I get City on the Edge of Forever, but I have to stop, think about it, and then reread the sentence.
 
Thanks @1001001. For some reason my brain didn't make the connection right away, I was thinking more of the Twilight Zone she appeared in at the time. :)
 
What episode had the most "guest star power?" I nominate "Dagger of the Mind": Woodward, Gregory, Hill.

Journey to Babel may give it a run for its money: Lenard, Jane Wyatt, Reggie Nalder, and, honestly, the guy who played the faux Andorian was very good, too, although I'm not sure I've ever known his name.

"I seem to have . . . miscalculated . . . ."
 
^ William O'Connell, he was in a lot of Clint Eastwood movies including High Plains Drifter with Marianna Hill.

And I'm OK with "Journey to Babel," too.

Yes, too bad that the stunt double Andorian, Jim Sheppard, who fought Kirk in the corridor was killed in a movie stunt accident a few years later.
 
That fight is funny because it starts in the middle. If you look at the teaser -- there is a stray crewman in frame when the fight starts and even though the Captain is being attacked -- he just keeps on walking! LOL
He was all, "that Andorian has a knife -- I'm outta here!"

That guy didn't remain part of the "finest crew in Starfleet" much longer after that.

I was wrong it wasn't the teaser, but I found it on YouTube! Classic.
