Is there one episode from Star Trek, The Original Series that best exemplifies the show? Co-hosts Bob Turner and Kelly Casto believe there is and they tell you their choices on this episode of 70s Trek.

Which Episode Is It?

Pretend that you have a friend that has never seen Star Trek before. You want to recommend an episode that really exemplifies what the show is about so your friend will get it.

What show would you suggest?

Is it The City on the Edge of Forever? Or Space Seed? Maybe it’s The Tholian Web?

It’s a debate that has raged for decades. What episode best exemplifies Star Trek? And everyone has their own choice. To help us make our selections...logically...we compared the episodes against certain criteria before we making our choices.

First, we define Star Trek as an action adventure drama that occasionally has a message or moral to share with the viewers.

We also considered classic Star Trek themes such as thinking their way out of a situation, Starfleet ideals, and even the friendship between the main characters.

Then we made our choices. What are they? You'll have to listen to this episode of 70s Trek.
