The Destruction of Vulcan in ST XI.
Literally "Earth-Shattering", and I liked the grandscale destruction... :shock:

Re, the Genesis cave - looking at it objectively it looks like one of those pictures you used to see in Chinese chip shop of waterfalls, with some mechanism behind the picture to give a cheap moving water effect. Essentially what the Genesis cave was thinking about it.
"You ain't gonna get off down the trail a mile or two, and go missing your wife or something, like our last cook done, are you?"
"My wife is in hell, where I sent her. She could make good biscuits, but her behavior was terrible."

I shall second (third?) the Mutara Nebula. Still the defining setting for a battle when I think ST.

The "disintigration" process from a phaser or disrupter. I can watch somebody vanish to nothingness all day long (even loop that shot occasionally)
They say that in the Army,
the women are mighty fine.
They look like Phyllis Diller,
and walk like Frankenstein.

I'll second the destruction of Vulcan.
