Episode Title: 'Amok Time'
Synopsis: "Spock enters the pon farr, the Vulcan time of mating, and Kirk returns him to Vulcan against Starfleet orders. But when his bride chooses to challenge the arranged marriage, she chooses Kirk as her champion."

There are a few episodes that are getting little or no votes. Going to have to post a worst episode poll from these.

Doomsday is my favorite of this list, though Amok Time is also good. They really didn't delve into Vulcan history a whole lot.

"Doomsday Machine" is my number one favorite Trek episode. "Amok Time" is also high on my list of favorites. I don't like "Who Mourns for Adonis?" as much, but still, there is just something about a battle with a "god" and one that is a surprisingly sympathetic character.

'Who Mourns for Adonais?' was the first Trek episode I ever saw.
