Wierdest TOS Ep?

The Immunity Syndrome is pretty weird.
Is There in Truth No Beauty's Medusan effect was economical, to say the least, but damned effective. And I'll echo that its cinematography lent it a great deal of generalized strangeness. It's a bonus that it was in service of an interesting and strange story.
I wouldn't have thought of Assignment: Earth, until I saw Jeri's avatar, above. As I recall, that bit where Lincoln looks at Isis who has suddenly becomes a chick for a single shot was a bit of a mindfuck, even when I knew it was coming.

The Empath was a total departure. Everything was minimalist it would have worked as an audio drama. While it's regrettable that the production budgets kept getting cut, this is a case where not being able to rely on sfx forced everyone involved to stretch themselves. The script was fascinating, Gem was stunningly beautiful and the interplay between the characters was powerful. Spectre of the Gun was interesting for many of the same reasons. Tholian Web also was pretty bones and didn't suffer from it.
I'd have to go with The Empath as well.
Mine, too. I've never been able to figure which Lazarus was which!
The Empath had a very creepy setting, and Is there in truth No beauty was a very weird idea.
^^Yea, "The Empath" was almost like Kirk was having some sort of dream or illusion. I can't think of another ep in any of the 5 series that comes close to the feel and style of that one.
That would be a great mind fuck.
I think you mean Kirk or Spock....Lincoln did not deal with any cats in his episode.
Was it Kirk and not Roberta Lincoln? Well, either way.
Exactly what I thought as well.
A radical alteration of our thought patterns is in order.
I have always thought that The Corbomite Maneuver was a strange episode, think it's great to watch, it's in my top ten perhaps its the freaky laugh from the alien at the end?
I go with Empath or Spectre....leaning more towards Spectre in first place as weirdest.
the one that i think is the wierdest one is ware kirk makes everyone ware nikes and drink coolade laced with poison...... wate that was the news.. nevermind

Dude, those drugs are seriously compromising your spelling and lucidity of thought...
Definitely Plato's Stepchildren, which is something straight out of the mind of a fanfiction writer on Red Bull and a mainline of sugar-crack blend. Let's see:
*Spock tap-dancing, laughing, and sobbing... and that's BEFORE he sings to Christine and Uhura about the importance of protecting their chastity from lusty young men.
* Kirk pretending to be a horse and being ridden by a little person (PC term), having his rear slapped at one point
* Spock, Kirk, Christine, and Uhura dressed in pseudo-Grecian garb and forced to kiss one another for the amusement of skeevy aliens
Weird? That's an understatement. Awesomely hilarious? Only to me, apparently.
