Well, my 50 Years of "Star Trek" The original Series - My Sweet 16... seems to have hit a nerve with more than a few--
And this caused my mind to again go back 50 years... 
to the original "Star Trek"
For my Bottom Feeder Four... 
Worst Episodes EVER!:
You are confusing two episodes. Uhura’s “son of god” comment is from the Roman gladiator episode, not the space hippie episode.
Hey, I loved “The Way to Eden”, on many levels. Skip Homeier’s lettuce-leaf ears were a trip and I thoroughly enjoyed Charles Napier’s over-the-top hippie. Great little ditty when he passed Doc’s exam:
“Gotta crack my knuckles and jump for joy
Got a clean bill ‘o health from Doc McCoy”
Wife went with me to the VA twice a year and used to wait for me in the lobby (goes in with me now). Every time I came out, I’d rattle off that first line. The others looked at me kind of funny.
Back in the ‘80s we moved into a California condo and one week they had a pot luck dinner “to introduce each other”. These things are the social equivalent of a root canal to me but to keep peace, I went along. As I entered the garage where the buffet was , these two 20-something guys were sitting there humming “Headin’ on to Eden”. I chimed in “Yea, brother” and the two lit up like lightbulbs, looked at each other, and said “HE REACHES!”.
We played ST trivia the rest of the evening but, being just a mild fan, got my clock cleaned by these two fanatics. Best damn time I ever had at one of these events.
I concur that “Spectre of the Gun” was a dog. As soon as I saw it was a western motif, I thought it so preposterous I turned the TV off.
In reality, as we view them now, they were all wonderfully bad.

Watching the CAGE ...
Funny that SciFi has Not been my
favorite all these years,
But ‘The Cage’ strikes a nerve.
Love The original Series!
Huh. Where’s “The Omega Glory”?
Well I saw all the STOS First run on NBC.
Th space hippies was the worst episode...
but the second worst episode was the last episode they ever had. When Kirk and a women swaped minds... very Gay episode
Sorry, folks... 
not in my opinion--
Yet like they say, that's why... 
they have horse races--
For my-two bits, "Spectre of the Gun" was a dog. I liked the sets but for my money, the writing was not up to Gene Coon's par.
And using a memory from Kirk (& Spock) comes about again in the "The Savage Curtain" which had I made the list "The Bottom Feeder Five," it would have been #5.
BTW, yeah, tumblindice, a 'Flying Lincoln' was an indicator of things to come.
Well the following is the very first sentence of this post:

So, it appears you leaped... 
before you checked out the truth of your conclusion.
Yeoman Rand. Her bathwater, I would drink.
Sales don't support your view:
For those with a Roberta Lincoln/Teri Gar fetish:
And for Robert Lansing/Gary Seven:
These mostly weren’t that bad.
Deep space nine is star trek.
Dear tumblelindice, just got out of the tub... 
It is full waiting for you.
Actually, he’s from New Zealand.
Kiwi. Got it.

“Read and circuses” was the episode with Uhuras comment in it.
CC
He also rocked as Eomer in LotR. BTW, do you know he’s dating Starbuck (Katie Sackoff)?
Kewl. I’m jealous, though.

In my time, Starbuck was a guy!
