My prime reason for chosing this one is the dreadful job of acting put in by Coridian's daughter, who is murdering all the people who had seen Kodos alive. Unfortunately she is given many more lines than her father who did a commendable job. As I said, I did enjoy the plot and also the way Spock and McCoy got down to the bottom of what was happening, but there is enough going against it to get my vote, including an incredibly sappy song by Uhura to the lonely Riley. Incidently, I'm surprised at all the flack that "The Omega Glory" is catching. Its not bad although they worked this theme of alternate destinies/similar circumstances to earth into more than a few episodes, notably "A Piece of the Action", "Assignment: Earth" and "The City on the Edge of Forever" perhaps more favorably.
