| splodeymissile 10/28/22 9:35:39 PM #161: | End of season 1 Top 4 Beyond the Farthest Star (starting off strong with the clearest statement of Star Trek's overall ethos yet) Yesteryear (considering the show's limitations, this was a truly beautiful look at Spock's character and backstory) More Tribbles, More Troubles (manages to be the best of the sequel episodes by being just as funny as the original) The Magicks Of Megas-Tu (takes the federation's utopianism to its limit by having a magical romp with Satan) Bottom 4 The Lorelei Signal (a standard run around suffering from sexism) The Terratin Incident (prime example why technobabble is overrated. Almost made me angry at points) The Ambergris Element (manages to be incompetent and boring) The Eye of the Beholder (having the bulk of your resolution occur offscreen is questionable at best) Miscellaneous thoughts It might just be primacy bias, but it seemed like this season was front loaded with most of its best episodes There were a decent number of contenders for the top spot (and almost no competition for the bottom). A list, then: One of Our Planets Is Missing The Infinite Vulcan The Time Trap The Slaver Weapon (I'll take this moment to point out that I'm now aware that it's basically a crossover with the Known Space series. It's a weird choice, but it works and I can't imagine I'm going to care much when it gets retconned out) The Jihad Can't imagine season 2 taking too long. Only 6 episodes.... --- One can not help but imagine Microsoft as being ran by a thousand Homer Simpsons. -Obturator ... Copied to Clipboard! |
