Favorite Star Trek episodes.

You thought I was being serious?

Didn't care if you were or not---just some part of me that has been infected by Star trek felt compelled to post that

For me:

TOS: Trouble with Tribbles
TNG: Scotty is found in a transporter buffer (Relics) and the Enterprise keeps repeating the same time loop and blows up every few minutes (Cause and Effect).
Voyager: Futures End (part 1 and 2) with Sarah Silverman and Ed Begley Jr as a Bill Gates type billionaire genius.

Those are some really good ones.

There were too many closeups of this guy in that episode:

There was a lot of that in TOS. Lots of closeups of faces.

I always wondered if those square "computer tape" props, that Commodore Decker is fidgeting with,
were re-used for Soylent Green. Probably not, but after I saw Soylent Green I couldn't not think of it
everytime I saw TOS Trek.

Also, was Commodore Decker in "The Doomsday Machine" supposed to be the father to
Captain/Commander Decker in the first movie?

For those of you old enough to remember TOS before they remastered it and redid all the space
graphics and special effects with CGI: Do you like the upgraded graphics?

I do. And The Doomsday Machine is one of the episodes that benefited the most from it.
Commodore Decker's ship (model) looked absolutely horrible in it's original format.

That episode of The Next Gen where Worf gets his butt kicked and Wesley whines a lot. Wait, that’s just about all of them.

It's 1992, I'm 11 years old and I turn on the TV to channel 57 and adjust the rabbit ears just in time to find Counsellor Troi and Dr. Crusher doing space yoga together in shiny one pieces with leggings. Happy times indeed......

I kinda don't. Looks funny to me because I've seen the old ones so many times.

Yes

Up to episode 3 season 2. Man I'm glad you mentioned that!

Didn't know they did that. I'll have to find it somewhere and watch it.

Yeah, makes you look forward to the future, doesn't it.

I'm not sure when they did the remaster/cgi update (probably 90's or early 00's), but anytime I've seen TOS on tv for many years now its always the updated version. Not sure where you'd find the vintage prints anymore.

 

[zontar]

It can look odd though when you see the updated CGI for the space shots and the backgrounds (instead of theold matte paintings) then they cut to an iside set that looks cheap...

But overall an improvement--although the original look was fun...

I love it myself. Plus the reformatted ones were the original length (I believe 52 minutes) and not the later syndicated ones that had scenes cut out to allow for more commercials, (a high crime in my mind).
