How can you pick the best Star Trek episode? We've tried before here at io9, but even then we had to list 100 episodes. Trek is so vast and the stories it tells are so varied that the series is worth the 800-episode trip. To distill everything you love about Star Trek into one slice is almost like having an existential crisis. Star Trek is a franchise that appeals to many different types of people.
Is the best Star Trek representative of the franchise's utopian ideals the most? Is it a reflection of the human condition? Is it funny? Or does it break your heart? Is it the most popular ship battle? Is it just the line "Get the cheese to sickbay", the doctor should examine it immediately.
Let us know which Star Trek episode you like best from 800 choices. It's your choice. There are at least 800 combinations that can be combined, so there is endless diversity.
