If you could disallow one episode.....

[Ghost of Bella Goth]

Paradise Syndrome (plays like a bad western) and Requiem for Methuselah (pathetic tear-jerker).

SPOCK'S BRAIN

"Brain? What is brain?" With lines like that, ya gotta wonder!

I agree that Requiem for Methuselah was a pathetic tear-jerker, though it did have its redeeming aspect (and no, I'm not referring to Louise Sorel... Although...) Unlike some of the other stinkers, it had a big idea - i.e. the Wandering Jew - in the character of Flint. I think the effectiveness of this big idea was squandered by a third rate melodramatic love story that takes place within a matter of hours by a captain who should be more concerned with the burgeoning plague on his ship in orbit (except for the brief period it was in the living room).

Too bad though. I find interesting potential in a character that has been a personal witness to so much human experience that it should have come to so little in the episode.

The Empath is one of the best episodes of season 3. Really good for the characters.

 

[Tora Naprem]

"Cloud Minders" -- It absolutely maddens me how out of character Spock is in this one!

 

[Tan Ru]

The Alternate Factor..........

Probably should have said, "if you HAD TO disallow" one episode..

Most folks wouldn't wipe away a TOS episode even if they could.

If I had to.....

'Plato's Stepchildren' Seeing Shatner & Dunn humiliate themselves playing pony makes me want to puke. Bad fx--it happens Bad script--it happens Bad acting--it happens Comedy that falls flat--it happens
But humiliating the actors and characters in such a way to prove how bad the 'bad guy' is unexcusable

"Catspaw" would be my runner-up choice. Followed by "The Mark of Gideon." If Gideon is THAT desperately and dangerously overpopulated and crowded, where the fuck did the Council of Elders or whatever they were called find the room to build a life-size replica of a 1,000-foot-long state of the art Federation space vessel?
