[Poll] Pick the next recap episode!

[thefourthvine]

So. My three-season DVD set of TOS arrived today. (I'm sorry, 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.

DEVIL IN THE DARK! So good!

(also, I keep wanting to shout "the one with Trelane, Squire of Gothos!" only I can't remember the title of his episode.)

Comes in behind Mirror, Mirror, as “Episode which inspired most BDSM fic,” I believe.

....
Seriously? *ponders*
I can see "Mirror, Mirror" but why "Devil in the Dark"?

(I have this weird problem where TOS and TNG was my childhood and so the idea of adult fanfic about those characters short-circuits my brain, which I realize is extra ridiculous given Kirk's tendency to sleep around the galaxy.)

No, no, my bad, I'm thinking of "The Squire of Gothos."

[abyssinia4077.livejournal.com]

Okay, *that* makes some amount of sense then.

[the-star-fish.livejournal.com]

It's, um, The Squire of Gothos.

...
point.
And that's what I get for not taking 5 seconds to look up a list of episode titles :)

The Squire of Gothos? Ummmm. Not one of their better ep titles, but I still think I'll add it to the next poll, should I do another one.

Most of the original Trek I watched was watched before I was 10 and that's one of the few episodes I remember in entirety (I remember lots and lots of scenes of various episodes without remembering how they fit together). Though I guess in that recommendation I'm possibly then not providing you a very adult opinion....

Still, YES! Not their best title, but I love the ep. Not that you don't have plenty of good choices on the current poll.

(it's also fun to read Hamlet and count how many titles Trek stole from various soliloquies.)
