[Poll] Pick the next recap episode!

So. My three-season DVD set of TOS arrived today. (I'm sorry, [personal profile] amireal; I COULD NOT WAIT. It was like a horrible sickness compelled me to spend a small fortune on ancient, overpriced, but remarkably awesome television. I don't know what came over me.) Obviously, the question is: what should I watch next? I could just do a poll with all the episodes in order, except a) 80 episodes, OMG and b) I'm really afraid you'd all pick Spock's Brain just to see me suffer. I know you, okay? You have a sick sense of humor.

So I went through the original suggestion post and I think I pulled out all the ones that got recommended there (if I missed anything that should be here for reasons of awesome, let me know), and I'm letting you guys guide me. (Although I cannot promise that the one with the most votes will be the first one posted or anything. The ways of Trek love are peculiar, unpredictable, and kind of unnatural, I'm finding.)

This, obviously, is for the dozen of you who have actually seen these episodes and who care which ones get recapped at ridiculous length next.

Take the poll here.

I cannot take the poll there, because LJ and this screenname o'mine have not been friends for some time now. But. You see that conversation in the comments about "The Empath"? Read it again, and then note that I second everything they say. Because they are all right.

I can't wait to see all of these recaps, but this is the one that I can't wait the *most* for. There are better episodes, but in terms of the fannish understanding of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy's friendship, there aren't any more vital.

Mirror Mirror after that, please. :)

I just want to mention that your reviews are causing me to have to watch TOS. I may actually have to acquire DVDs at some point. Damn you!

(The Tribbles one? Awesome. Amok Time is still downloading atm.)

I want those DVDs so much. SO MUCH. I keep talking myself out of it because OMG, so expensive! But the more you talk, the more I waaaaaaaaaaant.
