katikatThe Alternative Factor: That. Was. AWFUL. Wow. It dragged on and on, the guest star's acting was painful to watch and even Kirk behaved totally OOC, disregarding everything Spock and McCoy told him as a... joke! WTF?! Never again, this episode. NEVER AGAIN!
The City on the Edge of Forever: Loved it. Especially Kirk teasing Spock about his... inability to build a computer from what was available in the 1930s. Ha! Also, Joan Collins! Man, she was beautiful... *_* And I felt so sorry for both Kirk and Bones, they both liked Edith a LOT!
Operation - Annihilate!: Excellent episode. I found it interesting that Kirk was more upset about the possibility of losing Spock than about his own brother's death. And I felt so sorry for Bones, when he realized that he hadn't had to use so strong a light, that Spock didn't have to go blind. The look Kirk gave him. Ouch! But then, when Kirk actually let it simmer, he realized that it really wasn't Bones' fault - but then, the damage was done. Man, I think that if Spock hadn't healed on his own, McCoy would've never forgiven himself...
And I'm done with Season 1 *throws confetti* What I loved most about it? That the cast was big but most stories focused on Kirk, Spock and Bones, that was what I really liked. I'm no fan of huge casts where, in the end, no character has enough time on-screen.
My favorite episodes of season 1?
Gold: The Corbomite Maneuver
Silver: Balance of Terror
Bronze: Operation - Annihilate!
I know that there are several specials on the DVD but I opted for not watching them. I'm content with not breaking the 4th wall here and not knowing more about what was going on behind the curtain...
And! I found out that eBooks.com carries over 120 ST:TOS tie-ins! *rolls in the pretty*
