Top 10 of Trek

What are your 10 favorite episodes or movies of Trek? I've seen many threads about the best entries in each series, but I thought it would be interesting to see which ones are chosen with all of the series and movies as fair game. Two or three parts of the same story may count as one to include more goodness on the lists.

My list:

1. "Sarek"
2. Star Trek: First Contact
3. "Endgame"
4. "In Purgatory's Shadow"/"By Inferno's Light"
5. "The Way of the Warrior"
6. Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
7. "Q Who"
8. "Deja Q"
9. "Scorpion"
10. "Call to Arms"
 
My list wobbles around some but basically encompasses the same 15 or so episodes (movies are something else entirely), DS9 and TOS are the only series that make the grade. I don't hate the other series but it's impossible for them to get a word in edgewise.

This week, I'm featuring this list:

1. In the Pale Moonlight
2. Call to Arms
3. Rocks & Shoals
4. The Doomsday Machine
5. Duet
6. Amok Time
7. Sacrifice of Angels
8. Purgatory/Inferno
9. The Trouble with Tribbles
10. Balance of Terror
11. Mirror, Mirror
12. Trials and Tribble-ations
13. The Naked Time

14. A Taste of Armegeddon
15. Necessary Evil
 
If I threw them all in a pot they'd all be The Original Series. So... I'll break them down between Star Trek (1966-1973) and Modern Trek (1979-2005).

Star Trek

1. The Cage
2. The Doomsday Machine
3. A Taste of Armageddon
4. The Omega Glory
5. Who Mourns for Adonais
6. The Day of the Dove
7. Return of the Archons
8. The Naked Time
9. The Ultimate Computer
10. All Our Yesterdays

1. Observer Effect - Enterprise
2. In the Pale Moonlight - Deep Space Nine
3. The Thaw - Voyager
4. Death Wish - Voyager

6. The Royale - The Next Generation
7. Captive Pursuit - Deep Space Nine
8. Duet - Deep Space Nine
9. Violations - The Next Generation
10. Who Watched the Watchers - The Next Generation
