- "Spectre of the Gun" "We had bee spending too much money by the network's reckoning, so we had less to spend on this particular episode," recalls Walter Koenig of the hour, which saw an away team forced to battle in an Old West-style gunfight.
- "The Galileo Seven" Not only does this episode give us the first appearance of a shuttlecraft in Trek lore, it introduces a version of the concept that would become key to the franchise decades later — that there is a push and pull between the needs of the many and the needs of the few.
- "A Taste of Armageddon" "This was the first Original Series episode I ever saw and it still blows my mind," says Jordan Hoffman, U.S. Film Critic for The Guardian and host of ENGAGE: The Official Star Trek Podcast.
- "The Doomsday Machine" If Star Trek had shown Starfleet at its best until now, audiences got to see the flipside in this episode, in which Commodore Matt Decker (William Windom) turns into an outer space Ahab chasing the cosmic Moby Dick of the episode's title: a "planet killer" that had nearly destroyed his own ship and killed everyone on board except for him.

It's 50 years later, and Kirk fighting a guy in a green rubber suit is still awesome. "Arena," while not exactly reinventing the wheel when it comes to one-hour drama, does create a Trek standard that would find itself adapted into every other Trek series: Human and alien get stranded on insert deadly environment here, enemies become friends, and t...
Season 2 of Star Trek kicked off with our first look at Spock’s home planet, Vulcan. Leonard Nimoy’s character had been the breakout character of the show the previous year, and there was a real hunger among fans for more info on The Logical One and his mysterious people. Not only does “Amok Time” bring us to Vulcan, but it also introduced the conc...
As the fourth episode aired, "The Naked Time" served as a primer for audiences to what made the still-new characters onboard the Enterprise tick. That dramatic throughline, some great acting, and a dynamic and tense plot all made for a memorable episode that still packs a wallop today. When the Enterprise finds a team of dead scientists on the plan...
"The Enemy Within" features a lot of firsts for Star Trek. First transporter malfunction. First duplicate Kirk. First unbridled, sweaty, mascara-laden, over-acting Shatner moment. It's a classic! During a geological expedition on Alpha 177, the Enterprise's transporter ceases to function correctly after a clumsy technician beams up with some weird ...
Trek's second pilot is the stuff of perfect sci-fi: Compelling action mixed with heady, effective, and at times emotional drama. It finds a perfect balance between delivering on Gene Roddenberry's "Wagon Train to the Stars" premise and the ethically challenging landscape of the morality play. With the first (rejected) pilot's Captain Chris Pike and...
Attention must be paid to an episode DS9 sent its characters to revisit and pay homage to. "The Trouble with Tribbles" could have crashed and burn -- fuzzy, purring, Wookiee-pellet looking things on a space station full of Klingons sounds like a recipe for disaster. Instead, the episode earned a place as a permanent fan-favorite, and established Tr...
If not for this gripping first season episode there would never have been Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, widely considered the best Trek film to date. The Enterprise comes across the derelict vessel Botany Bay adrift in space, and Kirk awakens its crew from suspended animation in order to prevent their deaths. Bad idea. It turns out they are gene...
Spock in a goatee! The Mirror Universe, a place of alternate realities and a lot of guys wearing sashes, was a relatively new concept when TOS explored it during its second season. Now, the Mirror Universe is a sci-fi staple traded and used across many mediums, with Trek having gone to the well a few more times too. Arguably one of the most memorab...
This TOS episode established Trek's universal "Run Silent, Run Deep" approach to space combat. It's also our first encounter with the Romulans, and it provided Captain Kirk with one of his earliest opportunities to show his crew that he doesn't like to lose. The episode puts Kirk front and center in a game of cat and mouse on the border of the Romu...
This beloved first season episode, originally written by Harlan Ellison, brought Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock to Depression-era New York where they must locate and prevent a drug-addled Dr. McCoy from changing the course of history. The focal point of this mission is Edith Keeler (Joan Collins), a social worker at an inner city mission whose pacifist...

- “The Corbomite Maneuver” On Netflix: Season 1, Episode 11. Netflix wants you to start watching TOS with “The Cage.” Resist! This is not a great way to start the series.
- “The Menagerie Parts 1 and 2” On Netflix: Season Episodes 12 and 13. Here’s where you can get your dose of “The Cage” and fully understand Spock’s relationship to his captain before Kirk: Captain Christopher Pike.
- “Balance of Terror” On Netflix: Season 1, Episode 15. Everyone loves to talk about the Klingons in Star Trek, but before the Klingons were ever introduced, the first and best big Trek baddies were the Romulans.
- “A Taste of Armageddon” On Netflix: Season 1, Episode 24. This is a bit of a sleeper episode of TOS, and it’s massively underrated. Almost every good thing about classic Star Trek happens in this episode.
