    Here we go with round three. You get 10 picks this time.

    Just a note. Originally it was planned to go into the big run off poll in GTD with 20 episodes from each series. Because of other considerations, we will actually be going into that poll with 10 from each series instead. So pick your favorite 10. :)

    After we get the 10, we’ll have another poll or two just for fun taking the 10 to 5 and then to 1. Or maybe from 10 to 5 to 3 to 1. Let me know your thoughts on that. In TNG we did the 10 to 5 to 3 to 1 thing.

    For the life of me I do not recall "The Doomsday Machine" ever being a top fan favorite until it got a lot of PR with the re-mastered version (which I did not see, but understand that it disappointed a lot of people.)

    As far as I can recall, for years almost everyone agreed that COTEOD was THE fan favorite, with "Balance of Terror" and "The Naked Time" often cited as well.

    I guess the times, they are a changin...

    BOT has ALWAYS been #1 with me. COTEOF was close AS was TDM. I'm realy surprised The Immunity Syndrome didn't make the cut and that The Baked Time is going down for the count as well.
