Re: TOS S1: Balance of Terror

I have been reading your comments for a long time now, Jammer. Whenever I watched an episode of TNG/DS9/VOY/TOS on various rewatch-sessions, I always came to your site to read the reviews and the comments.
And on various occasions I found myself in disagreement. But it's always great to read other opinions.
So, thank you for this site!

I just couldn't restrain myself, when I saw the Best/MostHated thread, even if I'm a bit late...

So Loved-by-all-and-hated-by-me: Definitely "The Magnificent Ferengi"- I really hate that episode. It's disguisting that our heroes humiliate a corpse and play around with it. Just think how it would feel, if the Dominion would use Siskos body in such a way! I know it's played for laughs, but for me it's not funny in any way...
Just sick!

In the Hated-and-loved-by-me-category: Many Voy-episodes, as I love that series and also its serial character. Love many of the crew and also many of the themes. One of my favourite episodes is "Virtuoso", which is IMHO funny and deeply sad at the same time.

Regarding BoT: just watched it now in a personal rerun: I like the almost poetic moments of both the romulan commander and Kirk. I have my problems with TOS in general, as its sexism is really bothering me. But there are some episodes, which I can enjoy.
