lost TOS episode!

[Shatmandu]

Was there a particular episode of TOS that slipped through the cracks until you saw it later?

Mine was "The Mark of Gideon." I didn't see it until the VHS tapes were released.

I wish it had taken several decades longer than that.

Joe, bored to death

I never saw The Return Of The Archons until a friend lent me the video in the 80s. I'd previously only read the story in one of the James Blish books. I hadn't liked it when I read the book and seeing the actual show didn't make me like it any more.

Then you're not of the Body!! You can't be! Lawgivers!!!

Ah was watching TROTA last night, remastered.

Mine would have to be Where No Man Has Gone Before. I grew up watching the reruns of TOS and hadn't seen that one episode until roughly a year ago. It's such a sad episode.

 

[I am not Spock]

I hadn't seen 'For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky' until this year, in reruns. I really enjoyed the episode, too.

I've still not seen 'That Which Survives' or 'Wink Of An Eye'.

I've seen just about every other TOS episode multiple times...which is quite a feat for an upstart like me, having not been born until '82.

I didn't get to see "The Way to Eden" or "The Tholian Web" until they were aired as part of TOS-R

This might be slightly OT, but I think it applies:

I actually had a strange dream last night in which I found a "lost episode" intended to be a fourth season pilot. It was a three episode arc and featured one of the Cheron aliens putting on a bunch of makeup so as to look human, and then masquerading as a Starfleet officer. He and Kirk were having a battle of wits about something in the conference room...and then I woke up. It took me a few minutes to realize that it was all a dream, and when I did I was quite disappointed. The episode was quite good, too.

That sounds like a pretty damn good episode right thar. I'd watch it for sure.

This question was last asked on March 22, and I ended up preserving my response as a blog entry:

Great story; thanks for the laugh. It looks like you have always had a lot of energy to put into your hobby.

(We were watching Trek since '66 -- and during every dinner from syndication on for several years; so there wasn't much chance of missing an episode.)

 

[Lost in Space]

Mine was Spock's Brain, seriously. Took me completely by surprise but i enjoyed the silliness of it.
