[Kagan]

Interestingly out of the eight remaining, there are four that I would feel comfortable about their finishing in the top spot. The other four are sentimental top ten...uh...er...eight episodes of most people.

 

[T'Bonz]

The vastly overrated COTEOF usually wins these types of things.

 

[Kegek]

Didn't Balance of Terror win last time?

 

[Michael]

^ With "Balance of Terror" usually as a close second, IIRC. (I might be totally off, but didn't "Balance of Terror" even win the last big Best of TOS vote?)

ETA: Ugh, Kegek beat me to it ...

Note to self: Am too slow!

[ZERO_of_ZERO]

So when all three seasons are done are we going to pit the top fives against each other?

My first thought was to do the top 10 of each - this would give us a similar sized field to vote on, as in each individual season.

Also many people may find that by the time you are down to 8 or 9 stories, its difficult to choose between them and it would be a pity to rule some of them out by using the top 5.

I would like to go with the top 10, but if everyone is against it we can go with the top 5, there is plenty of time to decide: please post your prefrence if you wish.
(Anyway, is there any hurry to finish?)
