My favorite of the original series episodes is "Operation: Annihilate!".

Flying blinis! (local name for potato pancakes)

That's exactly what I thought when I first saw that episode! OMG!!!!

I thought blini were more like crepes or blintzes, though. My town calls the above little slabs of greasy deliciousness latkes.

O:A! is in my top 5, for sure. Even though the end was a total cop-out. I think my absolute fav might be Doomsday Machine.

Great minds and all that.

The local Polish variation of potato pancakes that they sell at church picnics are called blinis except they add an "e" or two to the spelling, I can't remember what exactly. (Looked it up - they usually spell it "bleenies".)

I always envision that the next day after that episode on the Enterprise where the ship's cafeteria had an all-you-can-eat special on potato pancakes.

City on the Edge of Forever - "I am endeavoring, ma'am, to construct a mnemonic memory circuit using stone knives and bearskins." and "Let's get the Hell out of here."

Dr. McCoy: "Hey you! What planet is this?"

Nice to see this thread. I've always been a fan of the Original Series, but i finally gave in. Yesterday i bought the Star Trek Movie Box 1-10. And The Next Generation Season 1 is on it's way. Say cheese...

Pete probably hates this one, too.

Ack, I HATE that episode!!!!!!

Actually, I don't hate it at all. Now, if you'd have said The Alternative Factor ...

I've always thought it strange that aliens only ever attack when the Main Shift is on.

I'm really looking forward to 'Spock's Brain'. For comedic value more than anything else. Crikey, they ALL deserve Oscars for keeping a straight face!!

Ah, the constraints of television budgets ...

There was one episode of The Next Generation (Data's Day?) where they showed some Bridge shift handovers.

If you pay close attention, about halfway through they are suddenly orbiting a different planet. Even though they're still orbiting the same planet. (Sigma Draconis VI magically becomes Sigma Draconis VII.)

Space. It's complicated.

Pete, would it be fair to say that you're a bit of a Star Trek obsessive?

You pick up on things like this when you've watched them as often as I have.

Blessed are the Geek.

Ah. Now. Original Series Star Trek - or as I call, the Documentary Series. Because it's not sci-fi, it's real. Don't you understand?? It's real....

Favourite espisodes - City on the Edge of Forever (because it was just stunning, and made a huge impression on me), Operation: Annihilate! (which had me genuinely shocked when Mr Spock went blind, then feeling like I'd been emotionally cheated when he wasn't, thanks to a Vulcan third eyelid thingy), and Devil in the Dark because of the mummy horta. I also have a soft spot for Metamorphosis, because it's very beautiful, especially the bit where she looks through her shimmery veil. And Captain Christopher Pike in the re-jigged pilot episodes. Because Jeffrey Hunter was the hottest man ever to have lived.

The Devil in the Dark


Containing perhaps Dr. McCoy's greatest triumph in the classic line..........."I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer..........."
