We all have that one episode that we can watch over and over again, and it usually depends on our personalities. Watching Kirk outwit the Romulans, facing down the Klingons, going toe to toe with a Gorn, or doing battle with the god Apollo, we've all got our absolute favorite episode.

Whats yours?

We'll have a poll in a few days. All nominations must be seconded to make the poll, and each person may only submit ONE entry (your favorite after all), but you second anything you like.

I'll take the City on the Edge of Tomorrow for 1000. Of all the Trek episodes I've seen, that is my favorite.

Psst... "The Way..." Anyway, "Catspaw" for me. ;) Actually, I'd have to second either of those, and add "For the World Is Hollow..."
