“The Omega Glory” is a historically significant episode of Star Trek for a couple of reasons. At a time when the Cold War had two nations living in fear, “The Omega Glory” attempted to directly address the absurdity of this conflict with a thinly veiled allegory involving a race known as the Yangs (wink) and a race known as the Comms (wink, wink) that are embroiled in a conflict of ideas. It was bold stuff.

The other thing that makes “The Omega Glory” significant is just how awful it is. Let’s skip past how boring the episode is and get right to the point where the episode takes a huge moral nosedive by subtly suggesting that the Yangs (America) are superior. It’s not clear if Gene Roddenberry was intentionally trying to push this message or if he was so over his head in boiling this complicated issue down to a 40-minute episode that he churned out a confused mess of a plot which accidentally sends the wrong message. We’d believe either.

The WRONG message would be that America is superior to the USSR? Really?

Yes, that overpopulation one was pretty bad.

Now for some of the favorites...

Gotta love Landru!

The one where the old travelling Shakespeare troop guy with his daughter is really a mass murderer. Absolutely unwatchable.

PS: we prefer the term “Trekker”

“Trekkies” are the group addressed by Shatner in the legendary “get a life!” SNL skit.

Hey, I saw the very first “teaser” episode in its original broadcast. I was in 7th grade. I was hooked from day one.

it was a sneak peek. I was so excited to see the show that I tuned in a week early on purpose and there it was - the now ubiquitus beginning of Star Trek. It’s hard to describe the feelings in a mid sixties kid in Jr. High seeing this BEFORE we had put a man on the moon.

Precious Cargo should be removed from the list of worst episodes for one simple reason...Padma Lakshmi.

“Darmok” — arguably the best single SF episode of ANY SF series.

Shaka, when the walls fell.

I was probably not the only person in the US to whom that line came on 9/11, but I've never heard anyone else mention it.
