All of you who pointed out that Spock uses the mind meld in "Requium for Methusula" were quite correct. Kirk is cured by his long love for the Enterprise in "Elaan of Troyius" (although this was left out of the recent WPIX showing). As for the worst episode, "Catspaw" takes it hands down. Come on! First they meet a guy who reminds me of King Tut (from Batman), then they're chased down a hall by a cat the size of a dinosaur. To top it all off, it turns out the bad guys have been clothes pins all along. In regard to "The Way to Eden", this has become a favorite of mine mostly because of the "session" that Spock has with the space-hippies. Here are my five-and-five: Five Worst Five Best ---------- --------- 1. Catspaw 1. City on The Edge of Forever 2. Arena 2. Mirror, Mirror 3. That Which Survives 3. Piece of The Action 4. Obsession 4. The Trouble With Tribbles 5. The Omega Glory 5. Assignment: Earth (pilot, yes, but still great) MOST ILLOGICAL CONCLUSION DRAWN IN STAR TREK: (From "The Squire of Gothos":) "He's fallable. Therefore, something must be helping him!" ...decvax!yale!raskin
