Which Episode Did The TOS Stars Love Or Hate?

Great initial question. I know, apart from the ones people have already mentioned, that all three stars liked The Empath a lot, but Kelley in particular noted it as one of his top favorites.

George Takei, unsurprisingly, generally cites The Naked Time as his favorite. Walter Koenig is careful to make the distinction between his favorite episode as a viewer (The City on the Edge of Forever) and his favorite as an actor (Spectre of the Gun).

Leonard Nimoy had interesting tastes in that he didn’t necessarily focus only on how much he had to do. While he did choose Spock-centered shows like This Side of Paradise, Journey to Babel, and particularly Amok Time as favorites, he also spoke highly of Miri, in which he has almost nothing at all to do. Conversely, he didn’t particularly like The Galileo Seven, in which Spock was the primary focus. (He said he didn’t like having the character separated from Kirk for the entire episode.)

Nichelle Nichols said she liked all the episodes where she got to leave the ship, but pressed for a favorite, she often cited Plato’s Stepchildren.
