What's your favorite Star Trek memory?

The day I got to stop watching it because I dumped that boyfriend who watched it four times a day and acted out the parts while it was on.

Not sure if I have one fave memory. Mr. Spock was always my favorite character, though. Leonard Nimoy is a pretty awesome guy, too. We always watched just about everything he was in. Getting to see him in person twice was pretty cool, too.

I loved the one in which life on a certain planet had become so evolved that the life forms were just brains, no bodies, living inside a sort of glass bubble. |

My memory of it was watching it as a newlywed each night as my husband and I had dinner. I liked the one with the Tribbles(?)....those fuzzy little multiplying things.
Actually, I wasn't married forty years ago so I guess we were watching reruns even then! |

Me too, Sandy. The Trouble with Tribbles was my all-time favorite episode. They were so cute.

Star Trek? Is that a movie or something? 
I'm as old as Star Trek!

I can tell you my least favorite Star Trek memory.
I was probably 8 years old or so and I was sitting on my friend's living room floor watching a (sigh) first run episode.
All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my bum. I must have leapt 6 feet in the air. Quite a trick from the position I was in.
The pain getting quite intense, I ran to the bathroom to take a peek at the source of the torment.
I ran out screaming "Call my mother! Call my mother!" My friend's mother got all flustered and wanted to know what was wrong. I was too embarrassed (or embareassed ) to tell her.
The moment my mother showed up I started sobbing uncontrollably. I needed help but I had a difficult time expressing what the problem was.
At this point both mothers were quite frantic. Until they found out what was wrong. Then they both tried to remain sympathetic while holding back the laughter.
I had a splinter about a half inch long in my right cheek. I had to limp home to have surgery performed.
It's funny. I can't remember what I had for dinner last night, but I can remember this experience like it was yesterday.
Alas, I can't remember which episode we were watching that night. I was, er, a little distracted.

other than the Tribbles, my mom wouldn't let me watch it because Captain Kirk slapped a hysterical woman on one episode.
She also hated that I loved to watch Wild Wild West--same reason

He slapped Spock too, when Spock was hysterical. Of course Spock hit him back and just about put him through a wall, but still.

The Trouble with Tribbles, and The City on the Edge of Tomorrow. I watched all of the episodes on a black and white tv; boy was it a revelation when I got to watch the reruns in color.

I don't think it was any one episode since they were all such morality plays on sterioiods, but the lines, the overacting, the "damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a [fill in the blank] or the 1960s wrap up the show smiley ending at the close of each episode.
The one that always stuck with me was Let This Be Your Last Battlefield I was blown away when Frank Gorshin said, "But he's black on the right side of his face." It was such an eye opening race relations lesson to a little kid. |

That was a powerful one, wasn't it? I remember "getting it" with that one, too.
