I am starting my own meme, because I am a part of a very special species of geek. ^_^
These are the voyages of the USS Star Trek Meme. It's mission is to seek out new life and new civilisations, and to boldly go where no other meme has gone before. If you see this on your f-list, your orders are as follows:
~Give me your top five Star Trek episodes of all time. If you know the title, more power to you. Please describe the episode so that it is recognizable by your other crew members. Pick from any of the five series: Star Trek; Star Trek: The Next Generation; Star Trek: Deep Space Nine; Star Trek: Voyager; and Enterprise.
~Copy this to your lj and post. If you see something on your list listed elsewhere, stick a star by it on your own list and give the person who mentioned it a comment.
MY LIST:
1) "Night Terrors" (ST: TNG). The Enterprise discovers a Federation ship full of dead officers... all gone insane, all killed by each other. The worst part is, it's starting to happen on the Enterprise as well.
This episode remains one of the scariest episodes on ANY TV SERIES I have ever seen. *shudders* I LOVE IT. I could watch it over and over again. The effects of paranoia... Let me recommend that everyone get their due amount of REM sleep.
2) "Battle Lines" (DS9). Several members of the crew crash-land on a planetary penal colony, the home of two feuding races who are punished by constantly warring and not being allowed to die of their wounds.
This episode is so visceral. The dead walk, and the weapons used for combat are of the hand-to-hand variety. The subject matter alone is enough to sober anyone. And it stars one of my favorite side characters, Kai Opaka.
3) "Schisms" (TNG). The crew is being taken in their sleep by an interdimensional alien race with a mind for human experimentation.
The way to remember this episode is the clicking sound the aliens make, and the scene where the crew members are trying to reconstruct the chair they were strapped down on when abducted. Oooh, this one still gives me the shivers.
4) "Pon Farr" (Voyager). B'Elanna Torres has been afflicted with the Vulcan mating drive and has chosen Tom Paris for her mate.
What with the numerous Veela fics I love, it is no surprise that the uncontrollable mating drive featured here is a favorite of mine. This episode is HAWT. Hahaha. *leers* And Paris and B'Elanna make a lurvely couple.
5) Don't know the title of this one (TNG). Due to a new virus, the crew de-evolves into the primordial species of their respective planets.
I always wondered: if Riker was a Homo Erectus, Troi a fishy amphibian, and Barclay an arachnid, would Data become a calculator? *gleeeeeee!* I adore this episode.
Make it so!
