TOS:
"The Alternative Factor" - geez Louise (and Wells and Denver too), where do I begin with that bland pile of do-nothing with hokey melodrama, wide shows that reveal where "Shore Leave" and "Friday's Child" had various angles taken at during their filming, copious gobs of vaseline on the camera lenses to simulate the "spatial winky thingie effect", Engineering reduced to a tiny room and prop console never to be seen again despite the cost of making the show and its propensity for set reuse, and an Engineer who should be wearing red and not blue. Then again, this is season one and they hadn't figured everything out yet.
"Spock's Brain" - It's not exactly a good episode, and actually has a ton more plot holes, but somehow remains eminently more polished and entertaining than the former episode. Spock acting like Sheldon after his sip of Red Bull at the end is almost worth it. It's almost trying to throw a curve ball into TOS' usual tropes and maybe trying to throw in big changes such as a humanoid brain controlling the computers but the whole thing is less than the sum of its parts. Impeccably less. Note that the remote control McCoy (or Scotty?) rigged for Spock's body is a 1964 Communicator prop given a coat of paint and big blocky buttons.

"The Enterprise Incident"
After watching the complete last two year mission via Star Trek Continues, which put to rest the Enterprises 5 year mission.
The Romulan Commander in that show, happens to be the daughter of the gal that played the TOS commander. Set beauty to stunning.

It is a really flawed movie, but probably the most fun I've ever had watching a Trek movie.
TOS "Conscious of the King"
I watched "Errand of Mercy" on Sept. 4, 2019 and I finally started a thread discussing my long standing doubts about Kirk's mission to deny the Klingons use of Organia as a base to invade the Federation. And while writing I managed to come up with a theory about what Kirk might possibly have done to defend Organia to the Klingons.
