A controversial choice but I'm voting for The Way to Eden. As a hippie episode it is cheesy but when viewed through the cult of personality lens, it evokes Manson and Jones and Koresh.

The Deadly Years: loved Shatner's old man Kirk.

Voting for "THE DEADLY YEARS" this round. Some good acting by the leads, and isn't as bad or heavy-handed as the rest of the list.

"The Deadly Years" shouldn't be on this list. It's not grade-A Trek but it's not as bad as these.

This time around, I vote for "The Way to Eden." For all its flaws, it had its own sort of ambition. Trying to emulate the then-current Broadway hit Hair (the "American Tribal Love-Rock Musical") is a sort of noble thing to have attempted. Also I like that no attempt is made to explain Sevrin's ears - is that what his generation likes to do to themselves instead of tattoos?

Once again, I vote for The Deadly Years. As @Indysolo said, it shouldn't be on this list.

Well, that offs "The Deadly Years"! I will start a new round by voting once more for "Battlefield"...

The Way to Eden. I dug Spock and Uhura jamming.

"THE WAY TO EDEN" gets my vote this round. At least it was trying something different.

Battlefield is a cool episode, unlike the other two.

Same as before

Let That Be Your Last Battlefield is out!

(better late than never)

TWTE - is a little less awful than the other.

"THE ALTERNATIVE FACTOR" - 0
"THE WAY TO EDEN" - 1
 
Both are bad, but at least "THE WAY TO EDEN" was trying something different. It gets my last vote for TOS.

"THE ALTERNATIVE FACTOR" was just a mess of script, further hindered by last minute role replacing.

I have spoken.
