That which Survives is worse than Spock's Brain? Lee Meriwether is STUNNING in this episode!
-
Third Seson gets dumped on, but there were some very good episodes: Day of the Dove; The Enterprise Incident; All Our Yesterdays; The Tholian Web; Spectre of the Gun; Is There In Truth no Beauty; Elann of Troyus; The Savage Curtain.
-
Platos step children is one of the Darkest Episodes of Trek, his Speech at the end was brilliant "your all dead inside, youve lived too long"
-
I might be a minority but I liked the Empath episode and it had touching sensitivity of Spock to McCoy, when he thought he was dying.
-
As someone once said, Star Trek is a bit like sex: even if it's bad it's pretty good.
-
Yeah some of those I would go along with but NEVER NEVER 'The Empath' that is such a good one just good acting throughout and showing a bond of love and friendship, this was DeForrest Kelley's favourite and I see why.
-
How could you have left off "The Way to Eden" -- with the most unconvincing collection of hippies in the galaxy?
-
I thought for sure "Spock's Brain" would be number 1.
-
Dude, I loved the empath. You completely missed the point. If I ever had one superpower it would be to take on some else’s pain, hurt, suffering, and injuries, hopefully not to the point of death. The ultimate sacrifice.
-
I liked the "Empath." The relationships between the "Big Three" is well played in the episode.
-
The WORST episode was 'The Way to Eden': "HERBERT HERBERT HERBERT!"
-
Fun fact about "The Alternative Factor": Robert Brown, who played Lazarus, was not the producer's first choice for the role. He was actually a last-minute substitute for John Barrymore, Jr., who pulled a no-show when filming started. Who is John Barrymore, Jr., you ask? Drew Barrymore's father.
-
You forgot Spock’s Brain.
-
I thought "Turnabout Intruder" was way worse than the Omega Glory.
-
I think you have misunderstood the Empath. That episode is very important for character- development, and it is very different from the other episodes. Interesting to hear your point of view, nonetheless.
-
TOS has the worst batting average? This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
-
I personally would have swapped out "The Empath" for "And The Children Shall Lead".
-
I believe the Star Trek Original Series Season 1 and 2 are the best of all the franchise. I keep watching some of them over and over again.
-
The Empath was WAY ahead of its time; no one else was even thinking about Metaphysics on tv in the sixties.
