What episodes am I missing?

[gvn2fly]

I watched a lot of TOS episodes as a kid in the 90s and really enjoyed most of them but there were a lot I didn't remember or haven't watched. I recently went through a rewatch of the episodes I had watched as a kid and tried to fill in the gaps based on some online ratings but still skipped around . Below is a list of all the TOS episodes I have watched...are there any other favorites you think I'm missing or is this pretty much a good list?

The episodes with * are the ones I didn't like as a kid and didn't rewatch recently. Anything not noted are episodes that I generally enjoyed.

Season 1

[gvn2fly]

Thanks. I’m not looking to watch all of them - what I was looking for were any underrated episodes or episodes people may personally like (even if the episodes are
Flawed) that weren’t on my list.

 

[VSAFaculty]

Thanks. I’m not looking to watch all of them - what I was looking for were any underrated episodes or episodes people may personally like (even if the episodes are
Flawed) that weren’t on my list.

I would add:

Court Martial
The Galileo Seven
Dagger of the Mind
Operation: Annihilate!
Metamorphosis
Friday’s Child
The Empath
Requiem for Methuselah
For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky

 

[gvn2fly]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

 

[Orac]

I'd recommend Let That Be Your Last Battlefield from season 3

 

[Phaser Two]

Obsession! From S2. A tour de force of acting and dialogue.

 

[Richard S. Ta]

Spectre of the Gun. Season 3. Really trippy and very good.

 

[JcarlA]

I would also recommend Wolf In The Fold from the second season as a some what underrated episode that I think is really good.

 

[feek61]

Already mentioned but you can't go wrong with "The Galileo Seven," "Operation: Annihilate!" and "Obsession." These are some of my favorite episodes. Also "The Changling" and "By Any Other Name" are both good. Another is "The Omega Glory" which is very polarizing, lots of people love it and lots of people hate it, lol, "Bread and Circuses" fits in that category also but I love it. For third season episodes, try "The Paradise Syndrome" which is a very unusual episode and also "Wink of an Eye" which is outlandish but really interesting.

Good Luck, I envy you discovering "new" original Star Trek episodes!!

 

[Phaser Two]

I would also recommend Wolf In The Fold from the second season as a some what underrated episode that I think is really good.

Absolutely. I just mentioned this on another thread; that's my second favorite. I didn’t see the need to make this all about me, but actually, why not - the original list is missing about half of my rather unconventional or unusual Top Ten. I covered Obsession and you added Wolf in the Fold, but I also love and would recommend Friday's Child (fantastic Kirk and Scotty episode with a fast-moving plot and tremendous dialogue), Return of the Archons (archetypal "let's visit this screwed-up mystery planet and straighten it out" show and iconic sci-fi plot), and Wink of an Eye (my favorite guest star in all of TOS in Kathie Browne, remarkably uncharacteristic ending, and the best and most convincing "Enterprise immobilization and/or takeover" ep).

Others that were not on the original list that are in my 11-20 range are The Changeling (superb plot, Shatner and Nimoy at their best), By Any Other Name (extremely entertaining and action-packed, with one unforgivable outrage), and my ultimate sleeper, The Cloud Minders (an, uh, ironically well-grounded plot involving the seamy workings of the Federation, and as a bonus, Starfleet equipment works).

 

[Richard S. Ta]

I'd love to be in a position where there were handfuls and handfuls of TOS episodes I had never seen.

GARAK: My dear Gvn2fly, they're all worth watching.
BASHIR: Even the bad ones?
GARAK: Especially the bad ones.
