Love the original series ... but I actually love all the series, including Enterprise. They all have their unique charme ... the important thing is to not watch one series and wish it was like another one.

Big fan. Grew up with the original, really enjoyed Next Gen and most of DS9. Voyager and Enterprise had some good moments, but overall I always felt they were inconsistent and not as good. Also like the movies except for Final Frontier and Nemesis. Looking forward to the next of the "new" movies.

It used to be my least favorite (until Nemesis) but over time I've mellowed and will watch it if it's on TV.

I actually liked TFF when I first saw it in a theater but don't as much now, though that last scene with 'God' is pretty cool.. Undiscovered Country not bad either on further viewings

Good list, though I'd suggest replacing "Journey to Babel" with "The Galileo Seven" or "Amok Time." Both of those showcase Spock's character and dynamic with the rest of the crew, which I always felt was an essential aspect of the original series and something that your list is currently lacking. That said, definitely keep "City On the Edge," "Tribbles," and "Doomsday Machine."

uhh.. no-- except for City, change your list; WNMHGB is a garbled intro to a show that was unrecognizable from the real Trek; Tribbles is more farce than quality ST; Doomsday Machine is great but too much of a 'guy episode'; and Babel is fun but come on, seriously? Do we reach, bra?
here would be my alternate suggestions - 'Mirror, Mirror' 'City on the Edge of Forever' 'Shore Leave' 'Amok Time' 'The Ultimate Computer' good luck ! |

oh BTW, the new re-treated episodes are very well done with careful, tasteful enhancements-- I'd highly recommend all fans see them when possible, many have been released already

You call "Tribbles" a farce, yet your list includes "Shore Leave?" Why not throw in "Spock's Brain" while you're at it? Sorry, that was a little harsh. I see your point about "The Doomsday Machine" and "WNMHGB," but I wouldn't exclude "Tribbles" for the world.

I just watched Star Trek V: The Final Frontier for just the second time. I can see why it gets criticism, but I'll still take it over the first movie.

Was "City..." the one with a young Joan Collins?

I like the "ST The Motion Picture" very much. I think it suffers a bit from the way it was "rushed" into the theaters. You have to remember that at the time of its release Star Trek had been off the air for ten years. SciFi was enjoying a resurgence and Warner Bros had just scored a big hit with "Superman". Also the Star Trek TV show was enjoying success in syndication and the Star Trek conventions were selling out all over the place. Paramount not wanting to miss a pay day decided to get a Star Trek movie out a little to hastily in my opinion. In the movie they (Paramount) tried to do too much and appeal to too many of its fans. From the laborious re-introduction to the starship Enterprise to trying to figure out how to bring the crew back together again after so much time. The base story was sound and I liked it. But the producers just tried to do too much in one movie.
