Hee-hee. Those are really my Bottom 5 ST : TOS episodes.

I like A Piece of the Action - just seeing Spock talk gangsta was memorable. Just my personal taste.

 

[Mysterion]

In no order:

1. Doomsday Machine
2. Balance of Terror
3. Journey to Babel
4. Amok Time
5. The Trouble with Tribbles

Anything but Cloudminders, Conscience of the King, and the Alternative Factor. Though I like Lieutenant Masters.

City On The Edge Of Forever
Amok Time

A lot of consensus here, so far.

 

[Spock's Barber]

I'm still waiting for the first person to list "And The Children Shall Lead" as one of their favorites....

I don't see that happening. But then, there is some moron that has "The Omega Glory" in their top five.

There is an anecdote about a ST film editor who worked on cutting 'The Omega Glory'. During an after hours party he confronted Shatner to tell him that the OG was a real turkey, mainly because of Shatner's lack of expression in certain shots. Shatner had the film editor fired. Another victim of the OG.

I like the teaser for the OG, but when it degenerates into Yankees versus Communists I just want to barf. Another parallel planet fiasco.

Yes, I also like 'Spock's Brain'. I know it is not popular with some forum members, but I enjoy it's action and adventure.

 

[geotrek]

^^ It remains one of my all time favs for a number of reasons. The fact that Spock has to practically operate on his own brain is simply stupendous.

 

[ZapBrannigan]

At the moment, my top five list would look like this (five is way too few):
- The Doomsday Machine
- The Paradise Syndrome
- Elaan of Troyius
- This Side of Paradise / Mirror, Mirror (tie)
- The Cage / Where No Man Has Gone Before (tie)

Other people's most-hated lists can include some that I like a lot:
- The Conscience of the King
- A Piece of the Action
- Requiem for Methuselah
- Miri
- Mudd's Women
- The Lights of Zetar
- Spock's Brain

And I know we have at least two members who love The Alternative Factor, although it's not one of my favorites.
