My best & worst ST episodes (in no particular order):


		WORST			BEST
	Return of the Archons		Amok Time
	And the Children Shall Lead	Trouble with Tribbles
	The Omega Glory			COTEOF
	Man Trap			Journey to Babel
	Turnabout Intruder		Devil in the Dark
	The Empath			Doomsday Machine
	Ultimate Computer		Assignment Earth
	Changeling			
	Friday's Child
	Paradise Syndrome
	Charlie X
	LTBYLB

I can't remember the name of it, but another one of my favorites is the
one where the Enterprise goes back in time and is mistaken for a UFO. Kirk
gets saddled with the problem of returning Captain Christopher to Earth 
without messing up the time track. And dammit, I can't remember it.

Pu-lease!  "The Enterprise Incident" was the episode when Kirk,
supposedly insane, takes the Enterprise into the Romulan neutral zone.
In reallity they are after the cloaking device.

The episode with the sling-shot effect and Captain Christopher was
titled "Assignment Earth."

history and are discovered by captain christopher....

NO! NO! NO!

Neither of you are correct.  "Assignment:  Earth" was when the Enterprise
intentionally went back in time to investigate the explosion of an H-bomb
somewhere in the late 1960's, and we met Gary Seven (played by Robert
Lansing), and his secretary Roberta Lincoln (played by a very young
Teri Garr).

The episode with Captain Christopher, the slingshot effect, etc., was
called "Tomorrow Is Yesterday".

	No, No, No! "Assignment Earth" was when they *deliberately*
went back in time using the sling-shot effect and met this "human"
called Gary Seven...  The original sling shot episode with Cpt
Christopher is called "Tomorrow is Yesterday".

What?!?!?!? You don't consider "The city on the edge of forever" (Harlan
Ellison) one of the best episodes?? You green blooded, pointed eared,
inhuman..... (That's enough, bones)..

And what do you suppose COTEOF stands for, hmm?  It's one thing to
gripe justly, and another thing completely to gripe just for the sake of
using up space (Take this gripe, for example...).

Oh, uh, just to be fair, shouldn't that be "most and least favorite?"
Best and worst makes it sound like you wrote them (naw, it COULDN'T
be!).
