The Final Ten Count Down Poll

[Spider]

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.

 

[Spider]

My vote:

Balance of Terror
The Cage
The City on the Edge of Forever
The Devil in the Dark
The Doomsday Machine

 

[Orac Zen]

In the order in which they appeared in the poll:

"Balance of Terror"
"Journey to Babel"
"Mirror, Mirror"
"The Cage"
"The Devil in the Dark".

 

[T'Bonz]

Whoo boy. It IS getting harder!

 

[Plum]

Balance of Terror
Where No Man Has Gone Before
The City on the Edge of Forever
Amok Time
The Corbomite Maneuver

... in no particular order.

 

[Admiral2]

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

 

[Masao]

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.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

Balance of Terror (without a doubt. I'm going to try my hardest to get this to win )
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.

 

[James Bond]

Whoa this was hard. As a matter of fact, I'm having second thoughts already, but I voted now so I'll have to go with my original selections.

Balance of Terror
Journey to Babel
Mirror, Mirror
The Cage
The City on the Edge of Forever

 

[Kagan]

Pilots
The Cage
Where No Man Has Gone Before

Season One
Balance of Terror
The Corbomite Maneuver
The Devil in the Dark

 

[TheLonelySquire]

Balance of Terror
The City on the Edge of Forever
The Doomsday Machine
Journey to Babel
Where No Man Has Gone Before

...in that order. Nice, neat, etched in stone!

 

[Duane]

This was easy for me. In no particular order:

Balance of Terror
City on the Edge of Forever
Journey to Babel
The Cage
The Corbomite Manuever

 

[Mallory]

Pinned. But I'll be voting later. There's a Jack calling me from downstairs.

 

[blakbyrd]

Balance of Terror
Mirror, Mirror
The Corbomite Maneuver
The Doomsday Machine
Where No Man Has Gone Before

 

[Jack Bauer]

The Cage
The Doomsday Machine
Amok Time
Mirror, Mirror
Balance of Terror

 

[GMac]

That wasn't too hard this time:

Amok Time
Balance of Terror
The Devil In The Dark
The Doomsday Machine
Journey to Babel

GM

 

[TheLonelySquire]

Balance of Terror surging to the top...as expected!

 

[Outpost4]

I didn't like this at all. No sir-ree-bob.

Too tough...too tough...

Balance of Terror
The Cage
Mirror, Mirror
The Corbomite Maneuver
The Devil In The Dark

 

[BRG]

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.
