Thats why I called it "cheesey."

My favorite has to be Balance of Terror. First piece of STar Trek I ever saw back in 1986. Loved it then, loved it now.

There are many more I like than dislike but the Doomsday Machine, Omega Glory, Erand of Mercy, Arena and the Tholian Web are my favorites

A lot of the ones people like like the Tholian web annoy me because they are so un logical it takes away from the viewing enjoyment.

The Tholian Web has the benefit of being one of the third season's few watchable episodes. Therefore people think its better than it really is.

All the Mudd episodes

Spocks Brain - it's just so "yikes, this is bad", it mesmerizes me...

Okay, guilty pleasure: Well maybe not even guilty, but Menagerie, for a clipshow, used to thrill me as a kid.

Well, it was an excellent use of the discarded footage and a damned clever way to use it, to boot.

Yes, I've seen quite a lot of the recent season 3 showings on BBC2 and I struggle to get through some of them. Sadly, I've missed the Tholian Web again, I've not seen it yet - must save up for the DVDs!

Yes, it's damn brilliant, and I don't think another show has ever quite pulled that off. In fact, I can't imagine that ever being successfully pulled off again. But there's always something about any sort of clip show that makes people's eyes roll. (see: Shades of Grey)

The Menagerie had the advantage that, rather than being clips of previously seen episodes mashed together, the clips themselves had a coherent soryline, and hadn't been seen before, so the effect was as if they'd been filmed specifically for the episode, to show Pike's mission in flashback.

Friday's Child? Wow, I would have never expected that one.

Why? What one was that?

'Friday's Child' had Bones, McCoy and Kirk caught in the middle of a power struggle, with the Klingons there too. The Capellans, IIRC.
