without looking it up online.... or in a book or any other source than your own physical mind - tell me, how many of the original 79 episodes can you name by title?
my husband, the sci fi fantatic, is currently trying to see how many he can come up with himself. He is confident that he will be able to name most of them. Will let you know how he fares.... maybe I will time him :)
please write in your answer the titles you come up with - and remember no looking at others answers or doing a search for them.
good luck!

Without looking them up? Well I can give you some at least...showing my age here :) But these aren't in any sort of order, just as I remember the names.
Space Seed (that is the one with Ricardo Montaban)
Managerie
Omega Glory (one of my favorites)
Conscience of the King (This one isn't shown very often)
Shore Leave
Trouble with Tribbles (one of my favorites)
Spock's Mind
Squire of Gothos (not sure on the spelling on that one)
Mudd's Women
What Little Girls are Made of
Where No Man Has Gone Before
Nomad
Amok Time
City on the edge of forever
A Piece of the Action
Mirror, Mirror
Journey to Babel
Dagger of the Mind
Assignment Earth
And the children shall lead
Who Mourns for Adonis
Plato's Stepchildren
Wolf in the fold
The Tholian Web
There are a bunch where I can see the episode but can't remember the name for them. Hope this helps him remember them all :)

pretty good, there, emeraldisle! I am impressed.
my husband did not get these three that you identified - and the plots are not coming to mind with the titles. Do you mind sharing those plots?

shore leave
dagger of the mind

Omega Glory was the one with the Yangs and the Cons. Where at the end they asked Kirk about the sacred writings but they managled the words too much for him to identify "We The People".
Shore Leave was the one with the planet where whatever they thought of would appear. It started out with Bones seeing the large White Rabbit and then a little Girl searching for it.
Dagger of the Mind was the one with the psychiatric center and basically the doctor in charge was a patient. Been a while since I've seen it all.

This is a tough one. I think "Encounter at Starpoint" was the name of an episode. The one with Ricardo Monteban might be called "Botany Bay".
Do people really know the names? LOL
I could probably tell you what 70 if not all 79 are about.

I know what you mean - he came up with 53 titles of the episodes - and then the description for all those and more - it frustrated him to no end that he could not get the titles to the others he knew the description for. We did go and look them up on line and when I gave him a title he gave me the description that matched...
It was a fun challenge for him, but like I said he is a bit of a scifiguy and a bit neurotic about it, lol.
thank you for your reply :)
