1. 'Mirror, Mirror'
2. 'City on the Edge of Forever'
3. 'Amok Time'
4. 'The Empath'
5. 'The Trouble With Tribbles'

What are others' favorites?

Honestly, If I had to do it again I may come up with 5 ( or 6) completely different choices, lol. I love them all for the most part.

 

[JimZipCode]

Doomsday Machine
Amok Time
City on the Edge of Forever
Corbomite Maneuver
Devil in the Dark

Honorable mention: Balance of Terror

 

[CitadelZombies]

City on the Edge of Forever
Mirror, Mirror

Doomsday Machine
The Corbomite Maneuver

 

[Seven of Five]

As of my last rewatch:

City on the Edge of Forever
Amok Time
The Trouble With Tribbles
Balance of Terror
Devil in the Dark

I think that a top 20 would have been easier!

 

[Joanna McCoy-Kirk]

The Trouble with Tribbles
Amok Time
The Ultimate Computer
I, Mudd
The Menagerie

Very difficult to choose just five.

 

[Spock's Barber]

I was going to list my Top 79 episodes, but......

 

[Claudia]

Balance of Terror
City on the Edge of Forever
Doomsday Machine
Journey to Babel
Mirror, Mirror

 

[Pauln6]

Balance of Terror
Mirror, Mirror
Amok Time
Devil in the Dark
The Immunity Syndrome

But yeah, a top 5 is way harder than a top 10, and even that is quite difficult.
