I think I enjoy the hated Spock's Brain episode more than that one.  I think every Star Trek fan has a guilty pleasure for a few of the "sillier" episodes.  I guess "silly" could easily describe 1/2 the episodes, so who am I to talk? LOL

I'll try my hand at a top 5 (in no order):

Actually I liked Galileo 7 too - forgot that one!

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.

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?
 Smoke

here would be my alternate suggestions -

'Mirror, Mirror'
'City on the Edge of Forever'
'Shore Leave'
'Amok Time'
'The Ultimate Computer'

good luck !



 
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.

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  Thumbs Up
