I don’t even know where to start with this tenth episode of the second season, Journey to Babel: it’s so full of ideas! Surely this is one of the best episodes of the entire series so far, it even anticipates somehow the plot of the best film of the Star Trek saga, that is Star … More Star Trek: TOS – S02E10, Journey to Babel
The City on the Edge of Forever: even before watching this episode I was fascinated by its title, so captivating, mysterious, and evocative. And then it only improves on that, this is truly a masterpiece! It’s the second episode dealing with time travel after Tomorrow is Yesterday, but this one is far superior! There’s little … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E28, The City on the Edge of Forever

I know, I’m repeating myself (see the review of Balance of terror), but I must reinforce the concept here: the first season of the original series of Star Trek series is so full of ideas! Virtually every episode explores a new theme, opens a new avenue for new adventures… and with this episode, number nineteen, here … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E19, Tomorrow Is Yesterday
The sixteenth episode of this first season of Star Trek (aired for the first time on January 5th 1967, I did my homework) offers us a “first time”: it’s the first time that one of the shuttles is lost, a recurrent plot device in later series such as, for example, Voyager. The shuttle in question … More Star Trek: TOS – S01E16, The Galileo Seven
