Whom Gods Destroy, TOS 3
This episode rocks! Leonard Nimoy may disagree (Mr. Spock does act a little illogically toward the end, all in the name of a cool action sequence) but forget that for a moment. This episode features the criminally insane “Lord” Garth, a squeaking, raging, prancing loon with two different color boots, a short temper and a habit of screaming in falsetto. He may be the greatest Trek villain ever (oh, why does he get reformed at the end of this episode — if only he could’ve returned for “The Wrath of Garth”!!!!) Also, young Yvonne Craig, pre-BatGirl, twitching around as a deranged, pulchritudinous Orion Slave Girl is nothing to blow your nose at either.
See Yvonne Craig in an awesome PSA here:

Sorry dude but I have to disagree with you again here. This episode was DUMB. I am talking 10th level dumbness. Silly, contrived, shallow but on the other hand I am sure the writer had a fine singing voice!….LOL
Queen to Queens level 2. They couldn’t come up with anything better in the 24th century? Yeah, I GET that Kirk loved chess and was very good at it but I am still not convinced they wouldn’t have done much better at code phrases.
Still, in a way it WAS fun. but only in the silly sense. I am jaded because the ones that were good were so very good but the ones that were bad were so very bad. Turnabout intruder comes to mind as an example of SO VERY BAD! Nothing good about that one.
