TOS/TAS "best-of" recommendations - eviltoast

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 😁
