The Top 100 Star Trek Episodes Of All Time!
I09

Star Trek gave us six TV series, spanning over 700 episodes, because it's such a rich universe. And a Federation starship is the perfect vehicle to tell unforgettable stories. But which Star Trek stories are the best? To find out, we painstakingly compiled the 100 greatest Trek episodes, from any of the series.

What makes for a great Star Trek episode? Obviously, the fun quotient has to be high, and there need to be awesome character moments. But I'd argue that a really notable Trek story explores some ideas, or some ethical quandaries, in a way that sticks with you after you're done watching. If one thing has defined Trek throughout its run, it's that.

So here's our list of the 100 best Star Trek episodes. ...

How could they have left out The Ultimate Computer or A Taste Of Armageddon or The Menagerie from the original ST series?

[bulldogtrekker]

Maybe the three you mentioned are in the top 150 list?

It looks like TNG had a large number of favorites.

TNG probably has the most impact on the majority of todays Trekkers. TOS comes off as more dated and slower in development of the story than the newer series and films as well as dated sfx.

I still love TOS and Shatner's Kirk and Nimoy's Spock as well as the rest of the cast. Having met most of them I do have my faves and even from the other series as well.

One aside, have any of you gone to the Star Trek Experience when it was at the Las Vegas Hilton?

It was truly a real ST experience and the greatest I've ever had.

First you go into a transporter room where you take your place on a pad on the floor. You're in a small room with just the pads and the transporter console manned by a Starfleet officer in red engineering tunic.

Suddenly the lights go out, along with the familiar transporter whine.

You feel a rush of air and a kaleidoscopic swirl of lights and when the lights come up you are actually on the bridge of the Next Generation Enterprise! Officers and crew men go about their duties as the comm officer addresses you and welcomes you to the Enterprise. All the stations and the main viewer are all ablaze with lights, sounds, and in the case of the latter, with a view of space hurtling by you.

You are introduced to the bridge officers when suddenly there is an attack by Klingon Warbirds. For you're safety they inform you that you must be immediately returned to Earth, but the attack has made the transporters non functional!

You are led through the gangways of the ship to the hanger deck where you must board a shuttlecraft to evacuate you to Earth! You board and are launched into space where you have a brief dogfight with Klingon Bird's of Prey until you can evade them long enough to land back in LV.

Upon leaving the shuttlecraft you go on to have lunch at the Star Trek Caf?? where you interact with Klingons, Ferengi and a few Romulans as you eat your Gachk (Bloodworm squirming in blood and guts----but in this case spegetti and meatballs!)

Before and after the experience you get to view a truly marvelous assortment of uniforms, props and other memorabilia.
















To this day this is one experiences my wife and sons remember and cherish above all. I would highly recommend this exhibit to any Trek Fan!

Leapin' Klingons, Gordo, you were NOT exaggerating!

I realize this Youtube video is a just a taste of what The Star Trek Experience would really be like — but even so, we can plainly see that this Las Vegas attraction is extremely well done and more fun than an weekend bender on Romulan ale!

The next time you and your kids decide to visit Las Vega and go to The Star Trek Experience, please adopt me and take me with you! Think of the money you'll save when you claim me as a dependent on your taxes! And we can write off the trip as a business expense, claiming it as research for All Sci-Fi!

Unfortunately, the LV show closed in 2009.

BUT it's planned to be reopened in Tucson AZ soon!

Stay posted!

I have to say THIS was my favorite STAR TREK because I didn't just watch it . . . I lived it! All the actors stayed 100% in character, including the denizens of Quark's Bar and Grill, tables of Klingons singing Klingon drinking songs and all! The atmosphere on-board the Enterprise was so real, it even smelled right!

[Zackuth]

I was able to go twice to the Star Trek Experience in Las Vegas. The second time I was on my honeymoon with the wife and we went through everything. At the end my wife was getting harassed by the local Klingon and I had to go save her. I got a picture of me inserted into the DS9 crew and looks really good. I also bought a book of the Ferengi Rules of Acquisition and Star Trek cook book.

The fact that she was wearing clothes turned off the Ferengi, but those Klingons......You gotta be careful of them!
