"Arena" is great!

My favs.
1) "Balance of Terror" - Mark Lenard as the Romulan commander (before he was Sarek) was great in this one.
2)"The Doomsday Machine"
3)"The Corbomite Maneuver"

Your use of the phrase laughing at the superior intellect brings back such memories for me. I must have watched The Wrath Of Kahn a dozen times when it was on HBO - it was partly just the thought of Ricardo (Rich Corinthian Leather) Montalban as the villain in the piece.
But one of Kirk's best lines was when he talked to whats-her-name (the character played by Kirstie Alley with funny ears) after she failed the simulation. She said it was an impossible situation and asked Kirk how he handled it. His answer was, "I altered the test conditions" which caused his bitter son to yell, "In other words, he cheated" LOL

What the real nerd Trekkies don't get is that Shatner's campiness was the crossover appeal to the show. People who were not sci-fi geeks still liked the show because they got a kick out of Shatner. That's why "Wrath of Kahn" was the best movie. Mr. Rourke only amplified the effect.

Kirk would have cried like a little girl at the first sight of the borg. Picard would have sought to destroy their cube in mecca. Uhhh... yeah, right.
