The 5 most overrated episodes of TOS

William Campbell carries The Squire of Gothos. If you can't get find pleasure in watching him go over the top like that, there's not enough in the episode to justify spending a whole hour on it, even with the pretty cool twist ending. I too came to appreciate the episode a great deal as I got older, or more precisely Campbell's performance; I had seen it first when I was very young, and while I understood the story I didn't initially appreciate how entertaining he was. It's also interesting to compare the mannerisms of Trelane with the mannerisms of Q.

CorporalCaptain, I agree. Campbell gives an excellent performance that I didn't appreciate the first few times I saw the episode.

 

I agree. Even though it was meant to be offbeat, A Piece of the Action was just too silly for me
