119: Not All Top Ten Lists Are Created Equal
Essential Season One TOS.
There are Top Ten lists ... and there are TOP TEN lists. This
episode of Standard Orbit is about the latter. Many online lists,
from prominent geek culture websites, favor Season One heavily and
with good reason. Rarely if ever, are Seasons Two and Three as
equally represented. These lists also cite City on the Edge of
Forever as being the quintessential TOS episode of all time - if
not for all of Star Trek. Feeling that these lists were imbalanced
and incomplete, we wanted to look at each season of TOS for what we
would recommend as "essential viewing."
Our goal for this episode, and for the upcoming TOS Essentials
podcasts, is to offer a new and perhaps in many ways - different
"best of" list for each season so that newcomers to The Original
Series can use our recommendations as an essentials starter kit;
episodes chosen from each season and not heavily influenced by any
one in particular. We believe our listeners will truly enjoy these
comprehensive recommendations compiled by their very own Refit
Crew; podcasters and friends they have come to know and trust here
on Standard Orbit.
