all of my housemates are insane. their choice of best episode sucks. wondering if im in the majority or the minority on this one so give me your vote. im talking real star trek by the way. james t with the torn uniform and the blood banging green martian chicks two at a time. no kindler gentler klingon new star trek nonsense.

That one where the doc refused to get on the transporter, so spock and kirk put some knock-out drugs in his milk. Then, they transported down to the planet surface to save some farmers on planet flarg 12 from a bunch of klingons who wanted to run them off their land so they could have the mineral rights. Once on the surface, the doc woke up and was real mad, but he got even more mad when howling mad scotty started acting all crazy and then doc called him a "foo". I don't remember the rest, but it was a helluva story!

I like the one where kirk did the blue chick. The one with the red chick was OK... but it's a distant third to the blue chick and the green chick.

City on the Edge of Forever, the one where Kirk does the social worker.

My fave is the episode where Spocks father is dying and needs a transfusion...Kirk is injured and Spock refuses to give up command to save his father as it is the "Logical" thing to do...Some really good zingers between Spock,Dad,Mom,Kirk and Dr Mcoy who finally gets in the last word ...

I like the one where the evil ball of light instigates endless fighting and then feeds off the negative energy.

Sometimes, on the internet, I try to be that evil ball of light.

Good grief. You plebs actually think ST: TOS is better than ST: DS9?

Best ever episode was the one with Dax's lesbian kiss

Second best ever episode was the one where the DS9 crew went back in time to DS whatever-it-was when the Enterprise was visiting.......trouble with tribbles? And only cos we got to see Dax in a seriously short mini.

I liked that episode too.... but for erm different reasons.

I thought it was good the way they merged the old episode into the new one....

I like only the original series.

My favourite ST moment was the one in which Spock was alone on a shuttlecraft and needed to be rescued by the Enterprise. But the rescue would jeopardise the Enterprise and delay its mission, so Spock entered into a discourse, explaining why abandoning him to his fate was the "logical" thing to do. Dr. McCoy was on the bridge at the time, along with Kirk, Sulu etc. After Spock had said his piece, McCoy bellowed "Shuddup, Spock! We're rescuing you!". To which Spock replied "Why thank you, Captain McCoy!" - ROFL! for me, the funniest ever ST moment.

Best episode was the one where that mad computer had to be stopped from doing serious harm.

Second best episode was the one where that other mad computer had to be stopped from doing serious harm.

Third best episode was the one where that other, other mad computer had to be stopped from doing serious harm.

"Shore Leave" Where what ever you thought about became a reality. It ended up being a huge amusement park. The fight between Kirk and Finnigan was cool.

"A Piece Of The Action" Where the planet they were checking up on grew into 1920s gangsters. Spock had some funny stuff in there.

"Doomsday Machine" Enterprise and Constellation had to destroy a planet killer.

"Balance of Terror" to this day is still my favorite.
The cat and mouse fight between the Enterprise and the Romulan flagship.

TOS was great because of the arguments between spock and mccoy (mccoy always my favourite character) and scotty and kirk.
