    I chose And The Children Shall Lead, Catspaw, and Turnabout Intruder, though I would probably trade any one of them for The Squire of Gothos. Of course I don't hate any of them, and DeSalle, one of my favorite background characters, was in Squire' and Catspaw both.

    The Squire of Gothos? Really, wow. I didn't think to include that one.

    WTF? You leave off the p.o.s. "Cloud Minders"? And put a top ten show like "Operation: Annihilate" on the list?

    Kirk should have just dropped off a few drunken-driving illegal aliens.

    The first draft of "Operation: Annihilate" is terrific. It goes much, much deeper into Kirk's having to possibly use the Enterprise's phasers to kill the entire polulation of the planet. Chilling stuff.

    Joe, warm

    With the death of his brother I could see that developing. I bet Gene nixed that idea. Just guessing though, seems like he would.

    But I put it in there cause ... well... I like it, I should say. Umm. It's flying funny vomit. :D

    I love the blooper when the flying puke nails Nimoy right square in the ass.

    The look on his face when he points up into the rafters at the guy with the fishing pole is priceless.

    Joe, $1.68

    There is something wrong with your list. You forgot to put the one I wanted to pick...."Trouble With Tribbles"

    EMHMark613, those pieces of horse pitute suck as bad as the episodes I picked. Not fair!

    I have never understood what people see in The Empath.

    Spock's Brain is the worst epsidoe of all Star Trek ever.

    Requiem for Methuselah, Plato's Stepchildren, and The Children Shall Lead. I will not watch them under normal circumstances (read: sober). If I'm loaded I might watch them to laugh and poke fun but I'll hate myself in the morning.

    Nah, Spock's Brain is the penultimate Star Trek episode (sorry, 'episdoe'). Especially when it's juiced up thusly:

    I didn't even know Plato's Stepchildren was considered a bad episode! I've probably seen that one more than any other. It seems like every time I turn on TOS on cable, that episode is showing!

    I guess they think fans love the Kirk/Uhura kiss!

    And the Children Shall Lead, Spock's Brain and The Way to Eden. There are a couple of others that I think are geniunely bad episodes, but I was limited to three choices.
