It's hard to think of a more everlasting and impactful science fiction property than "Star Trek." In 1966, what is now known as "Star Trek: The Original Series" premiered on NBC, the brainchild of creator, writer, and executive producer Gene Roddenberry. What made "Star Trek" unique for its time was its devotion to an optimistic vision of society, one where human civilization has moved past war and poverty, boldly going "where no man has gone before."
This utopian future was reflected by a diverse cast, with the crew of the USS Enterprise including a woman of African descent (Nyota Uhura, played by Nichelle Nichols) and an Asian man (Hikaru Sulu, played by George Takei). Starting in Season Two, "Star Trek" added a Russian character (Pavel Chekov, played by Walter Koenig) during a real-life period of tension between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.......

Thank you very much and God bless you.
Descriptions of the episodes are at the link.
In one of the movies , Mr. Sulu mentioned he was born in San Francisco.
He was supposed to be representing Asian people, yet he was an American. Go figure.
Definitely “The City on the Edge of Forever (1967)” hands down.
The one where Khan becomes infatuated with the cute tribbles.
I have a fondness for Mirror Mirror.
Probably the finest hour-long sci fi story ever.
Is this a good thing, Miri?
Yup!
I LOVE Star Trek, both the original and even TNG, despite their mild wokism (by today’s standards).
Greatest line ever...”Spock, are you out of your Vulcan mind?”

Yes. Mirror mirror is one I have watched many times.
Only one of the series went where no man has gone before. The rest go where no one ...
City on the Edge of Forever of course, but I always enjoyed Who Mourns for Adonis.
Mr. Sulu goes where many men have gone before.
Doomsday Machine has to be in top 5 if not top 3
Great Eddie Murphy routine on Star Trek, I especially note his attention to detail with the background music....
