Star Trek TOS & Movies.

What’s your fav episode? I have so many I love but City on the Edge of Forever is my #1. Regarding the movies, I haven’t seen all but I think IV (the one with the whales) is my fav.

I would have to agree that City on the Edge of Forever is my favorite and best episode, but there are other favorites also. Piece of the Action was also very good, and of course no one will ever forget Trouble with Tribbles.

As for the movies, I liked The Wrath of Kahn the best and The Voyage Home second best.

@Jacko1971 I prob should know after seeing the Costner and Russell movie adaptions but I’m still not sure. I believe it’s a debatable issue.

@4thdimensiondream wasn't the planet killer one similar to film 4, where an alien was trying to reconnect with its lost soul mate. The first episode of TNG was like that too.

@Jacko1971 you know I had forgotten that storyline in 4! They were similar in form but not sure about size.

My favorite Star Trek TOS is "Mudd's Women".

"Mudd's Women," three women take a drug called the Venus Pill, which temporarily enhances their beauty. The story explores themes of self-worth and deception, ultimately revealing that true beauty comes from within when one of the women regains her confidence without the pill."

My second favorite is "The Trouble with Tribbles"

"The Trouble with Tribbles" is a famous episode from the original Star Trek series, where the crew of the USS Enterprise encounters small, furry creatures called tribbles that reproduce rapidly and cause chaos on a space station.

My favorite movie is ‘Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan’


However, I love every episode of Star Trek TOS and all of the movies based on the original series. 🙂

@4thdimensiondream Mudd was forced to live with a city full of clones of his nagging wife.

@Jacko1971 “the pain” (stealing that line from The Horda episode)

Y'know, this'll sound weird, but I do have a soft spot for '..The Motion Picture', I like the build up. Favourite? That would be 'Wrath..', I think. That's full-on 'Star Trek' to my eyes and ears. '..First Contact' too.

@SarahTheHooker I get that but it really came off a little full of itself. The scene where Kirk says take her out of here and it took like 15 min lol. It also seemed like a rip off of like Nomad and I think another original episode.
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
Of the films 2, 4 & 6 are the most like the original series. They have some humour and some good action sequences. I didn't care much for 5 although, ironically, it does contain my favourite 2 Star Trek quotes. 5 was directed by William Shatner which is why it probably more theatrical than the others.

@Jacko1971 I didn’t love that one but I did like the end when Kirk was like I have a question for God!
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
@4thdimensiondream exactly. "Why does God need a spaceship?"
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@Jacko1971 that’s it! Thought that was very cool. He was like excuse me but I have a question. lol.

TOS Series: "Day of the Dove" - An alien entity pits the Enterprise against the Klingons for its own selfish purposes.

As far as the movies go, I agree that "The Voyage Home" is the best and most fun of the TOS movies.
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
Of the original series, yes, City on the Edge of Forever is probably the best, with Balance of Terror a close second.

Of the OS movies, I really liked Undiscovered Country quite a bit.
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
@DunningKruger "Cry Havoc and unsllip the dogs of war"

@Jacko1971 You have not experienced Shakespeare until you have read him in the original Klingon.
thepeculiarpanda · 36-40, M
Hmmmm favorite episode is a tough one. I really like Shore Leave though.

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country is my favorite film. :)
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@thepeculiarpanda I love Shore leave. Such a great episode. Finnegan! lol. Sulu had fun too in that one.
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
Of all the antagonists, i loved Christopher Plumber in 6. He was very animated and I loved his random Shakespeare idioms.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
That’s the one where the alien is flying around unnoticed spinning around. Fun episode when at the end the Klingons and humans act all friendly and the alien loses all its mojo!
SumKindaMunster · 56-60, M
@4thdimensiondream That's the one! I like the Klingons in TOS, they were worthy adversaries for Kirk and the Enterprise.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@SumKindaMunster I’m
Amazed at how much I still love watching the show. I never fully got into any of the others including next generation.
Jacko1971 · 51-55, M
@SumKindaMunster there was an early episode that was pretty much the same plot as the film Enemy Below in which the Enterprise and the Klingon ship have to out guess each other.
JoeMW · 56-60, M
Balance of Terror, Amok Time, and The Tholian Web are personal favorites
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@JoeMW love Amok time. That was an episode that could have used a bigger budget!
JoeMW · 56-60, M
@4thdimensiondream the remastered version adds a few scenes on Vulcan
Ship In A Bottle - TNG

Portrayed by Daniel Davis, Moriarty escapes a simulation and takes over the vessel.
4thdimensiondream · 70-79, M
@SethGreene531 I really did try to like TNG. I think I loved Kirk and crew too much. I did like Enterprise.
@4thdimensiondream
Yeah each iteration is an acquired taste, I agree.

Kirk set the bar. He really was a legend.

Used to watch Enterprise, that was a great show!
Had the pleasure of meeting Scott Bakula a few years later at a film festival.
