10 Nuttiest Episodes


By "nutty", I mean episodes that have major inconsistencies and problems, or can even be almost laughable, but that you still love anyway! In broadcast order:

1. The Galileo Seven
2. Arena
3. The Alternative Factor
4. Wolf in the Fold
5. Return to Tomorrow
6. By Any Other Name
7. The Enterprise Incident
8. Elaan of Troyius
9. The Cloudminders
10. All our Yesterdays

I really liked The Galileo Seven. What was the inconsistency found in it?

This where I would put A Piece of the Action

YOU LEFT OFF "SPOCK'S BRAIN"????

Please see the thread entitled "10 Most Embarrassing Episodes"!

"Spock's Brain" is both embarrassing AND nutty!

And camp.

I'd say the #1 nuttiest episode was the one with the stupid space hippies in it.

I thought Catspaw was pretty nutty. I don't think it had any inconsistencies, but the whole "giant cat" bit was pretty laughable. I still enjoyed the episode though.

reply

I agree with your assessment - maybe this could replace "Wolf in the Fold" on my original list.

reply

This is the only episode I can remember. So must have made an impact on 5 year old me.

reply

Actually there s avery big plot hole in "Catspaw", one which I think is the biggest and most obvious in all of TOS.

I would be interested in what inconsistencies and problems you see in these episodes. I'm not saying there aren't problems, but what are you seeing to call them nutty. Several seem quite solid to me.
