This fall I'm planning to watch the Star Trek TOS movies with some friends on discord, as well as a few episodes of TOS/TAS to introduce the characters/setting/etc. So basically I'm searching for recommendations for episodes to watch

The episodes I'm already planning :

  • Space Seed (since we'll be watching Wrath of Khan)
  • The City on the Edge of Forever
  • Yesteryear

If you have more episodes recommendations, I'd love to hear about them ๐Ÿ˜

Here's five of my favorites, especially because most of them provide some character lore/development that enhances watching the movies:

The Corbomite Maneuver - Kirk's captaincy style
Amok Time - Spock lore
Journey to Babel - fun, ethical dilemma episode, introduces Sarek
Let That Be Your Last Battlefield - moral lesson episode, introduces the self-destruct, and I've found that modern viewers are fascinated by the fact that racism has become alien and confusing to future humans
The Galileo Seven - character drama, features Spock making survival choices that weigh the needs of the many against the needs of the few
