Yeah, but are Charonians (?) omnipotent? They have a few flashy tricks, but I wouldn't put them on the level of an Organian or Trelane.

Oooh, I actually WON one? I'm getting faint. :)

I'm not even sure that Quintessential and Trekkiest are synonyms.

Where do you see the word "favorite" in the poll title? "Best" isn't up there either, it's "Quintessential," as in "this is the one to show someone what Trek is like if they've never ever seen an...

The Cage is sort of like Proto-Trek. In fact, in many ways it's sort of a series by itself, albeit one episode long.

So, a year has passed. Any new thoughts on this topic? I still agree that Corbomite Maneuver might have a strong claim on the title.

I love it when old fivers suddenly become relevant to current conversations. That Spock is net-saavy, all right.

Beats me.

Oh, and just for the kicks of volleying the topic in a completely new direction (I'm a big ping-pong freak :)), I'm suddenly reminded of the list of classic bumper sticker messages. ...

Cute, too bad we can't put that web address into the credits of every episode. "Based upon Star Trek created by Gene Roddenberry, go to metaphorsexplained.com if the title confuses you."

"Eventually all of DS9." That's a good question. Which one series encapsulates the Trek vision more than any other. Taking TOS right out as the obvious, what's your second choice? TNG, DS9, or...

Hey, I liked most of the episodes of VOY Season Seven. Don't let a few isolated incidents color your opinion.

Yeah, I put Distant Origins in there. That's the one where they rehash the story of Galileo for a modern audience. I liked it and think it's great Trek.
