"Encounter at Farpoint", the first episode of Star Trek, The Next Generation.
Gene roddenberry of star trek was born today in el paso texas, so what's your favorite episode or movie?
All, good and bad.
Trouble with Tribbles!
Too many good episodes to name just one but I think I liked The Wrath of Khan as the best movie.
My favorite episodes of the Original series were "City on the Edge of Forever", which I believe was written by Harlan Ellison, and "Balance of Terror",which bore an uncanny resemblance to the movie "The Enemy Below".
Dear Otis,
I am actually with Jan Nicka here...I loved Star Trek so much, at least the original series with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock plus all the others, that it really does not make much difference.

...well to pick just one, it might be IS THERE IN TRUTH NO BEAUTY? ....starring Diana Muldaur as blind psychologist Dr. Miranda Jones. I used to scribble down lines from STAR TREK I loved especially, and this episode was full of those. Here are the closing lines between Miranda and Mr. Spock (sigh):
"I see now that the glory of creation is in its infinite diversity"
"And in the ways our differences combine to create meaning and beauty."
