Favorite Star Trek episode

Atrocities, you're right. CGI has come a long way since The Last Starfighter. I still enjoy watching the movie, though, even though you have to cringe when you look at the prehistoric graphics they used (and they were probably state of the art at the time). I'm glad Spielberg used CGI for Jurassic Park. George Lucas saw the missing ingredient he needed to make the prequel trilogy. I wouldn't mind working for ILM, but I have no graphics experience, and I haven't put together a pLastic model since I was probably 17.

I was just lurking in another thread, and the topic reminded me of another good original Star Trek episode where Kirk ended up in a zoo somewhere. They put him in an exhibit with a rather fetching, scantily-clothed woman. Naturally, I can't remember the name of that episode either...

(I'm so proud of myself for resisting the temptation to post this in that thread)

I'm scratching my head. The only zoo episode that I can recall was The Cage, later renamed The Menagerie, and that involved Christopher Pike, played by Jeffery Hunter. I can't recall any other episode involving a zoo reference with Kirk, unless it was the episode where they needed Kirk's blood so the girl he was with could get something from his blood so that her world could do something with curtailing the population. Can't remember the name of that episode.

You're right, GB. It was the Jeffrey Hunter Episode.

Star Trek VI: Undiscover Country is out today... the new directors edition. I also hear that the next 4 movies will also get the same treatment as the TOS movies

I just picked up my ST6 today. Can't wait to watch it and what all of those extras are. Need to pick up 2-4, though. I have the earlier Version of 2, but I still haven't bought the collector's edition. I hate it when the movie studios will release a movie, then a year or two later, the deluxe Version will come out, then maybe a year or two later, the special edition comes out, then in another year or two, the ultimate edition comes out. I got 2 Versions of Escape from New York, T2, and a couple of other movies that I bought awhile ago and then a new edition came out. IIRC, I have 3 Versions of Stargate. And being the video (or shouldn't that be dvd) phile that I am, I have to get that latest edition. But come on, when you release the dvd, you should add all of those goodies on there the first time. Don't make us buy another edition every other year or so!

I agree with you 100% Greg. (Nice avatar btw )

Please post about ST 6. I would love to know if it is worth picking up the "special edition" or not.
