    OK TOS fans, we now have a top ten list. Now it’s going to get painful as we start cutting the list down to reach the most favored episode. As I said, we will go from 10 to 5 to 3 to 1.

    Pick your favorite five episodes.

    Why does everybody find this so hard? I always end up with more votes than I actually need.

    Oh, well. My choices:

    Balance of Terror
    The Cage
    The Corbomite Maneuver
    The Doomsday Machine

    And just to spend my fifth vote:

    Where No Man Has Gone Before

    I only voted for 4, since my favorite episode, "The Trouble with Tribbles," didn't make the top 10 (Boo hoo!)

    Not for me. There's only one ep on that list I don't particularly care for; the rest are pretty much my top 10 for the series. But my favourite / best TOS ep has been pretty much set in stone for years. The rest just make up the numbers. :D

    Balance of Terror (without a doubt. I'm going to try my hardest to get this to win :p )
    Journey to Babel
    Mirror, Mirror
    Doomsday Machine
    Where No Man Has Gone Before

    Probably should have voted for City on the Edge of Forever, but I missed it when looking at the list.

    I got my top 5 quite easily, 4 eps sailed through, just a wee bit of dithering over my last pick. :)

    Balance of Terror
    Mirror, Mirror
    The Cage
    The City on the Edge of Forever
    The Doomsday Machine

    Unfortunatly, Errand of Mercy fell in the last round. :( That would easily have made my Top 3.
