So what was your favourite episode?

I know most people will probably say "The Trouble With Tribbles" as it's such a fan favourite & the only comedy they did but I'm going to pick "Plato's Stepchildren". It was never intended to be funny but, by gum, it sure never fails to make me laugh!

Kirk & Spock running around in reefs & togas & an insane alien meglomaniac using mind control to make Kirk prance around & neigh like a horse with a dwarf on his back. Just watch the scenes where they're being force to walk forward & trying to figh against it - damn hilarious!

It also apparently featured the first on-screen interracial kiss which caused quite a stink with the network producers when the scene was being shot. All now seems quite silly really...

I just wish they'd hurry up & put out a DVD set of "Star Trek: The Animated Series" I haven't seen that Saturday morning show since I was a kiddywink & it'd be nice to have it just to complete the DVD collection. I keeps getting put off & the latest word (according to a few internet sites I've seen) is about half-way through this year for the US release - as far as the Australian release is concerned, goodness knows I guess...

my favourite episode of star trek original is where mccoy accidentally injects himself with cordrazone (spelling?) and has a complete mental breakdown and escapes the enterprise.
He somehow gets down onto a planet and stumbles through a time portal and accidentally changes the future, so when kirk and spock go back they find out that the person who has to die is joan collins, whom of course kirk takes a liking to before she is killed, brilliant episode, emotional and scientific at the same time, brilliant.

i forget the name of the episode, but i know that i have a vhs copy of it becuase it came with the special edition video game that i got in 1996

Yep, that was my favourite too. It was called 'The City on the Edge of Forever’.

as i mentioned before, i have a vhs copy of this episode, never watched it when i bought the special pack of judgement rites when it came out in 1996 so that makes 10 years, wow!

but yeah, that episode had everything that physicists had theorised about time travel, especially about the ripple effect and alternate time lines.

Question:

How many members of the USS Enterprise does it take to change a light bulb?


Answer:

Scotty will report to Captain Kirk that the light bulb in the engineering section has burnt out, to which Kirk will send Bones to pronounce the bulb dead. Scotty, after checking around, noticed there have been no new light bulbs and complains that he can’t see in the dark to attend to his injuries. Kirk must make an emergency stop at the next unchartered planet, Alpha Regular Three, to procure a light bulb from the natives.

Kirk, Spock, Bones, Sulu and three red shirt security officers beam down. The three red shirt security officers are promptly killed by the natives and the rest of the landing party are captured.

Meanwhile, back in orbit, Scotty notices a Klingon ship approaching and must warp out of orbit to escape detection.

Bones cures the native king who is suffering from the flu and as a reward, the landing party is set free and are given all the light bulbs they can carry.

Scotty cripples the Klingon ship and warps back to the planet just in time to beam up Kirk and his pals.

The new bulb is inserted and the Enterprise continues on its five year mission.

It's kind of hard to believe and a bit scary.


Anyhow here's a great article about the Star Trek phenomenon.

So Russell Crowe's going to play the villain in Star Trek XI, eh?

Oh well, at least they don't have telephones in the 24th century so people should be safe (unless he starts hitting them with a tricorder)...
