That's episode alright! But at least we got to fight the
Klingons in that episode and the Enterprise did fire phasers!
(or was it PTs?)

I vote for "The Children Shall Lead" as the worst episode. The villian
was a more or less a half-baked space boogie monster. Kirk's solution was
just a little too cute. It's the one episode I saw that I couldn't wait
for it to be over.
As far as the best episode goes--I vote:
(1) Enterprise Incident
(2) Mirror, Mirror (The other Spock had more character!)
