    This is much easier than the “favorites” question. My bottom three: “A Taste of Armageddon,” “The Alternative Factor,” and worst of all, “Shore Leave.”  I may want to rewatch “Mudd’s Women” to see if it belongs on this list, but just the fact that I’m thinking about watching it again means that I guess I didn’t dislike it that much.

    I believe I at least liked every other episode. There are some I’d identify as being middling, like “Miri,” “Dagger of the MInd,” “Court Martial,” and maybe “Arena,” but even these shows were basically good television. I remember “The Galileo Seven” had problems, but it was such a unique, ambitious episode I wouldn’t think of putting it on a “worst” list.

    “Man Trap” – I actually am still so freaked out by this episode that I did not rewatch it with the rest.  So maybe it is not so much bad as uncomfortable for me.

    “Miri” – Ditto, didn’t watch again because it upset me so much watching it when I was young.   

    “Alternative Factor ” – confusing and repetitive.

    My least fave 1st season ones –

    “The Man Trap” – I thought this was basically a creepy monster episode (so is good for Halloween) and there was not enough concern shown for preserving alien life, especially since the salt monster was the last of its species. Also, why did the Enterprise crew not just give the monster some jars of salt???

    “Return of the Archons” – This one didn’t go much of anywhere, and I mainly dislike the ending where Kirk talks the planet’s computer into committing suicide, which is painful to watch.

    “The Alternative Factor” (worst) – This is just a total mess with nothing explained – also the same special effects are done over and over, and the time travel ship looks doofus – the first season of ST was so great that this is the only episode of the season that I totally dislike.

    Just realized I posted my favorites but never my least favorites! Counting down to least favorite:

    3. “Mudd’s Women” – This episode just baffles me. Ok, so I guess the point is that looks don’t matter, and once you realize that truth then you will become beautiful. Because it turns out that looks actually do matter. Or something?

    2. “Operation: Annihilate!” – I was not a fan of this one AT ALL. I feel like it was a cheap trick to kill off Kirk’s brother to try to get us to care. Within 2 minutes everyone has forgotten it ever happened and Kirk doesn’t seem to be affected by this loss at all.

    1. “The Alternative Factor” – So I went through the entire Season 1 list and considered every episode to see if I could reasonably pick a different one to be the worst of season 1, ya know, just to be different from the majority. But nope, I can’t. It’s this one.

    Oh, I posted them under the Season 1 favorites discussion thread. But not recently, it was last September.

    Robert Balmer, my sentiments exactly regarding Kirk’s brother!  Annoying.
