They weren’t links, they were actual images. That’s hotlinking, and the board rules don’t allow it. Its stealing bandwidth.
I replaced the images with links, which is what you see now.
What episode do you watch the most?

Why can’t you hot link images? Also what is that? I’m still learning discussion forum etiquette. Is this a cardinal rule I don’t know about?

I'll try to help, there's one way:
1. Find Image you want off any other site.
2. Copy Image to your computer. (Here you can edit the Image to your preference.)
3. Go to https://imgbb.com
4. Upload the Image file from your computer to imgbb.
5. Copy the Image's URL address from imgbb.
6. Come back into TrekBBS and in your composition box on the bottom of the page,
7. At whatever spot you want to paste the Image, select the "Image" icon on the tool bar above the composition box.
8. Paste the Image's URL address into the pop up entry box.
9. Hit "insert", and Image should pop up in your composition at point you wanted it.

Plato's Stepchildren? Honestly, I don't find it that bad. It's a pretty rough story about humiliation and you f'n hate the Paltonians by the end, but it's really a matter of taste. I'd watch that episode over Miri or The Apple any day and twice on Sunday. Michael Dunn is really great, the scene of Spock containing his rage is fantastic and the score is excellent.
Hmm, I wonder why you would have watched those two episodes so many times?
As for me "The Doomsday Machine" is probably near the top of the most watched list (and it's probably top 3 in my book as far as best episodes). My favorite episode is "The Menagerie".
Probably "Mirror, Mirror." It's my all time favorite episode. I'm a sucker for good parallel universe story, and this was a really fun one.
Yeah, I'm sure Mirror Kirk had "fun" being assassinated by Mirror Spock once he returned (And he probably didn't even know WHY...).
It is hard to pick one single episode that I have watched the most. Back when I first started watching in the early 1970s, there was obviously no on-demand.
I actually recorded every episode on Betamax (when that was going to be the big thing) and still have them. Then DVDs and now streaming, I would guess it would be "A Piece of the Action."
Love the humor - it is just a fun episode that I never tire of. Lots of others that would be up there too but when I want an escape, this is it.

Right you are, sir.
I have the DVDs and Blurays but seldom have the free time to watch them. "The Conscience of the King" is the one I watched last, and when the day comes, "Miri" is slated to be next. It's a caring treatment of adolescent confusion and suffering, beautifully acted by Kim Darby. I'm always surprised when someone doesn't like the delicate and touching "Miri." Bonk-Bonk on the head!
If everyone liked the same TOS episodes, then TrekBBS would be a very boring forum.
Yes, but "The Apple" is the quintessential assembly line episode, an uninspired story that got churned out to keep a schedule date. "Miri" is more like a unique, special-quality outing, a film, somehow adjacent to The Twilight Zone in its warm sentiment for the kids juxtaposed with light horror, not to mention plenty of outdoor location shooting. It's big yet intimate, dark yet colorful, and it takes us into a whole subculture created by long-time children whose pecking order and shibboleths dare us to say they're wrong under the circumstances.
"Miri" is what the best one-hour dramas of early television aspired to be: complicated, textured, human. You really can't say that about "The Apple", "The Changeling", or "Catspaw." Whatever their pleasures, they're pretty simple by comparison.

Wow...complex. Thank you for that! I’ll have to try it. Hey how do I get those cute little emojis I see everyone using? Do you have to type them the old fashioned way or is there a bank of them just for use in this forum?
Miri isn’t as good as all that. There’s a great story in there, and I love the core of it, but it’s plagued by a number of glaring weaknesses:
1) “Another Earth!” Right down to the continents. But as soon as it’s brought up, it’s dropped. It’s just a hook, a false mystery.
2) Kirk flirting with Miri is icky.
3) Absolutely everyone leaves their communicators unattended. Not a single person had one Velcroed to their belts.
4) Bonk bonk. Nyah Nyah. No blah blah blah. All that got annoying.
This one is like Charlie X. Good idea for a story with lots of potential and awesome moments of horror, but ruined (for me) by really annoying or sloppy touches (“Cha-lie’s our new dah-ling!”).
Hard pass on the teen angst shows.
Yeah, the equipment issues in Miri drive me nuts. Only Spock beams down with a tricorder; Rand not having one is a complete mystery. No one seems to have the communicators secured as you pointed out, and the belt-under-the-shirttail just never worked for me. It was awesome when they got the Velcro sewn into the uniform pants.
I’m sure it’s not a surprise that I happen to like the episode Miri, lol. But I agree Kirk is totally flirting with this orphan he just found. Uh that’s weird and gross. Also the end is almost comical, they just bail and leave that planet and all the kids behind saying that more star fleet people will be there soon to handle the kids... I think they actually said guidance counselors or some other ridiculous thing, lol.
I have a new favorite!! I just watched Conscience of the King and it was AMAZING!!! I love all the Shakespeare quotes and the mellow drama, oh the mellow drama!!! So much overacting. It was so fun to watch!
