Hi there. A friend of mine wants to get into Star Trek (finally, yay). She asked me which series would be a good start since she loves binge watching. I honestly couldn’t say. My favourites are VOY, ENT S1/S2 & SNW, but I’m a big fan of all series and watched them so many times back to back (with the exception of DIS & PIC - only once and never again). So, instead I thought we could watch the top 3 episodes of each series and then she can pick one to start watching the entire thing. Let me hear your top 3 episodes of one or several series. Just keep in mind she doesn’t know any of the lore yet. I’m really looking forward to see your takes.

    Those are pretty great. Thank you. Also nice you included the movies. And you picked 2 of my 3 favourite TOS episodes! :D

        That would be Balance of Terror. Easily in my top 3 episodes of the entire franchise.

          That is an excellent episode. It would probably have been my fourth pick. That or Arena, the Gorn don’t get enough love and while the episode is cheesy (more so then the rest of TOS), it’s a classic. But I had to go with Mirror, Mirror. The mirror universe episodes in any trek are some of my favorites.
