>when STD writers try coming up with faux-poetic episode titles like TOS and they end up sounding as stupid as these fake meme titles.

When they faced the romulans in a highly tense temporary conflict.

Also the corbamite maneuver. I think these types of episodes are quite kino.

piece of the action is top tier
balance of terror is maybe the objective answer
i really like journey to babel myself

the one where they go back in time and some woman dies and they had to not save her or the future would be fucked. very cold ending.

It doesn’t really have the overarching plot of later trek series, more like a twilight zone style new sci fi story each week. But kirk spock and bones are the comfiest trio of all time

That episode was written by the same guy who wrote "I have no mouth and I must scream"

t. underage shitposter mad that the 'fat shit' meme flopped hard.

City On the Edge of Forever I think. Kino episode.

The Doomsday Machine

The one where they have a bunch of ambassadors on the ship (including Spock's parents) and there's some sort of assassination plot happening

>spock what happens if this woman lives?
>hitler wins ww2

is there a torrent out there with the non-lucas'd versions?

Based M U D D

S01E28 - City on the edge of forever

Its so nihilistic its beautiful:

Based.

BECAUSE: EDITH KEELER MUST DIE

The one where they land on a planet identical to Earth and say "WTF, someone from Earth must have been messing with the locals."
Or the one where the land on a planet identical to Earth and say "Ah yes, identical planets are totally normal."

he scared me back then

>William Shatner recalls standing too close to a stage prop explosion during the filming of the episode, causing tinnitus, which became chronic.[6]

"Up and Down and Then to Sleep"

Mirror Mirror.

Attached: mirror.jpg (800x600, 96.87K)

will there ever be another captain as based as Kirk was?

the one with the evil version of kirk from the teleporter

AOOOOOOOOOOOO

yeah. he's a very simple, unrealistic character. a dime a dozen in space scifi shows

The Enemy Within.

SPOCK! WHERE'S YOUR BEARD!

City on the Edge of Forever
Trouble with Tribbles

Name one.

This is a good selection.
If you want to engage someone in the OT these five will do nicely.

I always liked Errand of Mercy because you don't see the ending coming at all.

>because you don't see the ending coming at all.
if you're a brainlet maybe

That's probably it, yes.

'The Enterprise Incident' is fantastic.

the emotionless virgin desperately spending every waking moment trying to figure out the ending

the chad just enjoying the story and allowing himself to be surprised

Big Chad energy post. Kirk would approve.

I watched the first episode for the first time last night, and didn't really find it hammy at all. It takes itself as seriously as it should, and doesn't apologize for being a low budget scifi show or patronize the audience. Some of the dated references to cultural norms supposedly in a futuristic society provide some humor as well. Honestly was pretty impressed and will continue to watch.

Are there any other evil federation episodes?

JUST FUCK MY EARS UP

No single episode of TOS is as bad as the worst of TNG

To be fair, this was right when the writer's strike hit.

A Private Little War

all of them

The City on the Edge of Forever

I unironically love the final episode of TOS, Turnabout Intruder, where Kirk stereotypically plays a hysterical woman
