Gene Roddenberry came to Michigan State in 74 or 75 and spoke at the Auditorium. It was completely full. At that show, they presented the original pilot. It was much better than the two part deal they did a few years later.

He said then his favorite was City on the Edge of Forever. I'd have to agree. The middle aged Joan Collins was just fine.

Although for pure comic relief, The Trouble with Tribbles isn't bad.

How about that one episode where the space ship was stuck in the outer atmosphere and it looked like a star to those on the planet below. The flow of time was different in space than it was in the atmosphere...so, life on the planet accelerated at a faster rate. When the space ship got there, there were a few cave men...when the ship left, the planet had this glorious advanced society. In fact, the people on the planet helped get the space ship unstuck.

Good show...i think it was a voyager episode.

TNG "The Measure of a Man". Simple episode but does address some pretty heavy stuff. This is the one where Data is judged to be a form of "life" and not property of Starfleet. I was never a big fan of DS9 because it seemed to be too much of a soap opera as opposed to an adventure story like Voyager and TNG.

gosh I never thought of it that way. I guess I was jus too stoned
