Like in Star Trek (the original series) the Spock’s Brain episode.

Many people forget, however, that the ‘Gamesters of Triskelion” was after
‘Spocks Brain’
K, it’s not on ‘City on the edge of Forever” or “Tomorrow is Yesterday” or
“Doomsday Machine”, but “Gamesters” is ranking up there in my books ;)
Though, stated right now I’m nut sure that Gamesters was after Spocks
Brain--both ere season 3 eps (iirc) ;)
Lovin’ the Trekkie talk :)

Dave-
Without question, my two most favorite times in a movie theatre were watching,
for the first time, the space opening through the moon landing in 2001: A Space
Odyssey and every second of Star Wars (we saw the 16:00 showing on opening
day at the Chinese Theatre in a crowd of mostly special effects workers), but
that said one of my most favorite of all movie moments is in Star Trek IV when
the crew goes up in a shuttle to see their new ship and it is revealed to be ...
another Enterprise. That scene works for me every time (sort of like the
reverse of watching the last launch of Challenger).
City on the Edge of Forever, A Piece of the Action, The Doomsday Machine,
The Trouble with Tribbles... it’s a wonderful list. I liked Gamesters too,
but overall it still felt terribly “third season”.
The soul of the series, to me, was the interplay between Spock, Bones, and Kirk.
DeForest Kelly was born to his role in any context (same guy in a chuck wagon),
Leonard Nimoy played Spock seriously, and William Shatner was just wonderfully
over the top.
Much as I love Star Wars and John Williams incredible music (and I do love it,
my wife and I walked down the aisle to it at our wedding), the emotional tug of
the first few notes of the Star Trek theme are more powerful to me.

| (...) I loved the end of ST4--we had Sarek and Spock do the father/son "I never used to appreciate the decision you made but now I do" (and for any Trekkie worth their salt, that's a very big thing...) and then the banter on the shuttle "Excelsior??
