I couldn't decide which thread to post this in, the cat thread or the Trek thread. I decided which ever one I came across first would be the winner...
 
I don't know how this is possible, but I saw a TOS episode I've never seen before, or only saw a few times and not 100 times like every other episode.
A Private Little War, season 2 episode 19.

That guy must've been miserable in that costume.
That guy was also the Horta in the Devil in the Dark episode. But if you think that was uncomfortable, imagine this gem from Lost in Space...

He was Janos Prohaska. He was an actor, mostly uncredited, mostly doing costumed stunt work like monsters and gorillas. He was on a lot of 1960s TV shows including Gilligan's Island, Bewitched, Outer Limits. A lot of shows you've probably seen.
 
Speaking of The Enemy, I've been rewatching TNG lately (currently on S5) and wow Season 3 is stacked with a lot of my favorite episodes.

The Survivors
Who Watches The Watchers
Deja Q
Yesterday's Enterprise
The Offspring
Tin Man
Hollow Pursuits
The Most Toys
Sarek
The Best of Both Worlds

Data is my favorite TNG character and he gets so many good episodes this season, The Offspring and Tin Man are both some of my all time favorite Trek episodes. There's also some love it or hate it comedy/farce episodes, like Captain's Holiday and Menage A Troi (and I know some people consider most Q episodes to be comedy distractions for TNG). Personally I like them, but not my favorites. There's also some stinkers, though I admittedly hate Booby Trap more than it deserves, because it sets up one of my most hated episodes of all time.
