Are we talking TOS or any of the other incarnations or what? If it's TOS then I'll say:
1) The Devil In The Dark
2) Amok Time
3) Operation Annihilate
4) The Cloud Minders
5) For The World Is Hollow and I have Touched the Sky
6) (sorry but I have to) Let That Be Your Last Battlefield
*Honorable Mentions- Spock's Brain (yeah, but I love it) and Requiem For MethuselahLast edited by HardyGirl; May 22, '17, 11:15 AM."Do you believe, you believe in magic?

1. City on the Edge of Forever
2. Amok Time
3. All Our Yesterdays (my wife's favorite)
4. Arena
5. Specter of the Gun
That's the list today, although the top three will likely never change. Operation Annihilate, Wolf in the Fold and Mirror Mirror circle the bottom of the list for dominance at any given moment.

Top 5 I like the best (in no particular order as I have difficulty picking a "most favorite")
1. Journey to Babel
2. Tholian Web
3. Let This Be Your Last Battlefield
4. What Are Little Girls Made Of?
5. Whom Gods Destroy
The 5 I like the least (I hesitate to use "worst" as I can find some degree of enjoyment in any Original Trek episode, but these test it to the limit)
1. A Private Little War
2. The Omega Glory
3. The Lights of Zetar
4. The Paradiase Syndrome
5. toss-up between Elaan of Troyius and Spock's Brain*
* When I re-watched the entire series recently, I remembered Spock's Brain being more enjoyable despite its bad rap. But this time around, I just couldn't get into it. Conversely, I remembered Elaan of Troyius being worse; I found it wasn't as bad, but still tough to get through.Last edited by number 6; May 22, '17, 6:34 PM.Comment

I'm currently watching TOS in chronological order for the FIRST TIME! Almost done with Season 1, some of the episodes so far have been amazing.
So far I've really enjoyed:
What are Little Girls Made of?
This Side of Paradise
Errand of Mercy
Dagger of the Mind brought me to tears*
*I suffered a brain injury in 2010 and several parts of that episode depicted some of the horrors I lived through so accurately (despite several corny parts) that it made me pretty emotional.
Menagerie was extremely disappointing, I fast forwarded through all "the cage" re-cap parts cuz it was really annoying. More plot and less recap and that would have been an amazing 2 part episode.
Still have several more episodes to go! Watching TOS is the most effective way to get my family to leave me alone; husband can't handle the ship noises and my kids say it "looks so fake." lol

Errand of Mercy
Balance of Terror
Space Seed
Devil in the Dark
The Man Trap
Arena and City on the Edge of Forever should be mentioned too.Comment
