Once upon a time I could watch no more than any 2 minutes of any episode, and name that episode without any fear of confusion or mistake.

I’ve been trying to forget all about it ever since. But still find myself retaining most of that ability in lieu of much more useful things. I thought I’ve trained my ex-wife to roll her eyes in a different way for each episode. But later I discovered the correlation was one to many.

Actually, you’d expect it to be a goldshirt. Attend:

The Enterprise had 239 redshirts, 25 of whom died on screen. This is a mortality rate of a little more than 10%.  However, out of the 55 goldshirts aboard, 10 died on screen, for a rate of 18%.

Only 79 episodes - and in 40 years of reruns (or however many it's been - you would think I had seen it all.

Nope.

Season 3 - The Cloud Minders.... I saw it for the first time the other night. It blew my mind. Sometimes you see an episode - and part of it seems unfamiliar... 

But this was really weird. Sorta anti-deja vu.... You keep waiting for it to seem familiar - and it keeps seeming new.

......

It sorta makes up for all those acid flashbacks I failed to have....

I was never into the original series. But there was one original episode that gave me nightmares as a kid back in the 70s.

I can't tell you the title, but I do know the plot had a progression of one by one, more crew losing their faces and a gargling groaning sound as it happened to each.

was that from Star Trek: Outer Limits?

I don't think I have ever watched an entire episode. The little bit I 'know' of Star Trek came from being in the same room while someone else was watching it.

SciFi isn't my thing but when added to the cardboard instrument panels and Papier-mâché landscapes it really isn't my thing.

edit - We won't mention the epically bad acting.

Interesting Trek factlet: if it hadn’t been for Lucille Ball, Star Trek might not exist. In 1965, she was the sole owner of Desilu Studios, and personally green-lit the show after CBS and ABC has already shown Roddenberry the door. She was able to convince NBC to distribute.
