THE TV SHOWS

Well, it's been a good six years since I first did the "Captain's Blog" series, and I'm slowly making way through each of the Berman-era Treks. I likely will not do anything on the post-Berman Trek TV; so far none of it is worth discussing much. Which dates me, I know. I'm of the "thanks for your service now go die" age of Trek fandom.

In order of how I did them:

Season One

Season Two

Season Three

Season Four

Season Five

Season Six

Season Seven

An Overview. And some credit where credit is due.

Here are the links to my Desert Island TOS Top 50(ish) in order of points awarded, least to most. (For explanation of points system see here) If your favorite episode doesn't appear below, that's because it's covered here.

It's a topic I've wanted to organize my thoughts on for years, so it scratched a lifelong itch to do it. I've broken them up in how their closest points-grouping worked out, in case you're wondering what gives with the arrangements.
