Are you suggesting that I'm gay for Ernest Borgnine?
I think Cockfighter is sorta romantic.

It is, in Part 2.
Oh. Um, never mind. (But it should be higher on the list!)
P-C, you should see The Way to Eden. You should also remember the thing where I'm evil.
Corwood, I can't remember -- do you read Criminal (Brubaker's comic)? I'm pretty sure I saw The Cockfighter mentioned in the backmatter in one issue. Between that and the noir-ness, it seems very you.

Never read it, but I'll check it out now.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
The City on the Edge of Forever, definitely, but it's better watched once you have some grounding in the characters. Amok Time, very important Spock episode, as is Journey to Babel. Mirror Mirror is a classic AU episode.
A Piece of the Action is silly but funny. Trouble With Tribbles, definitely. Devil in the Dark is a solid plotty episode.
I've seen "The City on the Edge of Forever," but I'll watch it again after seeing some more episodes. Thanks!
There's only three seasons of classic Trek, P-C. Seeing all of them really isn't that much of a committment.
That's still 80 episodes. That's a lot. I have no real desire to watch them all, but I want to see enough to get the cultural context.
Taraljc on LJ also had a post recently for Trek noobs, including recommended episodes.
Oh yeah, I've seen that post.
P-C, you should see The Way to Eden. You should also remember the thing where I'm evil.
Ha! Uh oh. "The Enterprise is hijacked by an insane doctor and his fanatical, hippy-like followers, in an attempt to find paradise." Really?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
REALLY.

(Srsly. TOS contains much cheese. CHEESE MADE OF CRACK.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Are you suggesting that I'm gay for Ernest Borgnine?
Why would I suggest such a thing? When I can make a bold bald accusation!
I think Cockfighter is sorta romantic.
Yes. The special love between a man and his chicken.
Incidentally two of your seventeen would make my top ten. Three of them would make my top fifteen.

That summary leaves out the song. It's all about the song.
Yea, brother!
See?
...Oh no, now it's in my head. And it's my own fault. Crap.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I am so spending my summer TV hiatus on TOS rewatch.
Saw Trek again today. Still madly in love, like a little kid.
