I'll never forget the first time I saw it, when I was a little kid (not old enough to remember it when it first aired, but saw the first round of syndicated reruns in the early 70s). At that point I was too young and naive to realize that the star of the show couldn't be killed, and when Kirk was on the Constellation after setting the self-destruct and the transporter was broken, I completely lost my shit. That was great. Woke mom up yelling at the TV. She was pissed. 
Rounding out the top five:
2. Balance of Terror
3. City on the Edge of Forever
4. Mirror, Mirror
5. Day of the Dove |
First two seasons were mostly great. 3rd season has some real clunkers.
Space hippies! Spock plays the harp!
