The Top 100 Star Trek Episodes Of All Time

The Top 100 Star Trek Episodes Of All Time!.

Star Trek gave us six TV series, spanning over 700 episodes, because it’s such a rich universe. And a Federation starship is the perfect vehicle to tell unforgettable stories. But which Star Trek stories are the best? To find out, we painstakingly compiled the 100 greatest Trek episodes, from any of the series.

What makes for a great Star Trek episode? Obviously, the fun quotient has to be high, and there need to be awesome character moments. But I’d argue that a really notable Trek story explores some ideas, or some ethical quandaries, in a way that sticks with you after you’re done watching. If one thing has defined Trek throughout its run, it’s that.

So here’s our list of the 100 best Star Trek episodes. Please let us know which episodes we missed, or ranked incorrectly!

Warning: some spoilers below, although we try not to give away all the plot twists.

[Blog editor’s note: While I’m not sure I agree with the ranking in all cases here (Who would?), the fact that many episodes of the original Star Trek made it onto this list and even the number in the top twenty, shows the writing level of the original series.]

The 10 Best Episodes of ‘The Twilight Zone’ (as Ranked by IMDb)

But where is “Walking Distance”? It should be on this list.

It’s hard to choose a favorite episode of “The Twilight Zone.” Just when you think you’ve narrowed it down, you catch a classic rerun on late-night TV that makes you rethink your top choice. Heck, it’s been 55 years since the show premiered on CBS (October 2, 1959 to be exact) and we still can’t choose a favorite.

Maybe that’s because every episode was so different from the last. Sure, they all started nearly the same — with creator Rod Serling welcoming us to his otherworldly dimension — but each proved to be wonderfully weird in its own unique way. One week, we’d be treated to a macabre murder mystery, and the next, a spooky science fiction story. And more often than not, each teleplay contained an underlying moral message or a twist ending that kept our minds racing long after the episode’s end.

It’s no wonder we can’t choose a number one!

The folks over at IMDb, on the other hand, don’t seem to share our problem. They’ve handily ranked every single episode from best to worst based on the ratings of their users. And you know what? It’s kind of hard to argue with their results.
