finding the best tos episode

Inspired by @star-trek-tos-episode-bracket (who decided not to continue with their bracket), I have created a TOS bracket to determine the BEST Star Trek TOS episode! Will City on the Edge of Forever win like everyone’s probably expecting, or will a surprise contender challenge its throne?

The seeding was based on IMDb ratings, with City on the Edge of Forever seeded #1 due to being rated the highest at 9.2 stars, and The Children Shall Lead seeded #79 due to being rated the lowest at 5.2 stars. You can find the order here. I’ll start posting the polls at 5 pm EST today, and this post will serve as a masterpost of sorts so you can track progress/when voting is happening.

Here’s the bracket thus far (sorry if the image appears blurry; this is what the bracket generator gave me)

Feel free to reblog/follow so we can reach the most amount of people & get the most accurate information on what the best TOS episode is according to the tumblr trekkies! Happy voting everyone!

ACTIVE POLLS: none

I am screaming, crying, throwing up this matchup is tragic. First Mirror, Mirror (in my top 5 episodes) had to take out my FAVORITE EPISODE (Balance of Terror) and now it’s facing off against another top 5 episode. How was this seeded I’m quite curious now 😭

Because I did it wrong but realized it too late.
