Space, the final frontier.
These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds,
to seek out new life and new civilizations,
to boldly go where no man has gone before.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Classifications of the Star System:
*/2: The best part is the opening credits.
*: Poor, scientifically-unsound plot, with mediocre acting.
* 1/2: Mediocre plot and acting, scientifically sound but highly
implausible.
**: Average Star Trek, typical acting, not especially
intriguing.
** 1/2: A two-star show with some novel twist added.
***: A minimal "entertaining" episode.
*** 1/2: Fair, scientifically-sound plot, good acting. Usually has
at least one outstanding scene.
****: Good plot, damned good acting, no major flaws. To see such
an episode, a hard-core Trekkie would be willing to miss a
midterm in a non-departmental course.
**** 1/2: Excellent, well-developed plot, unparalleled acting. Only
flaw is in falling slightly short of full development of the
theme, or containing a minor error important to the plot. A
Trekkie would be willing to miss any midterm to see it.
*****: To see a 5-star episode, a Trekkie would be willing to skip
a final, to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous
fortune, to cross into the Romulan Neutral Zone, to boldly
go where no man has gone before.
The various classifications of the Star System were assigned
between stardates 1974.3 and 1975.5 by a general consensus
among members of the Bridge Crew, the regular Trek-watchers
of Stevenson Hall, at Princeton University.
[ I got this from the sflovers directory at Rutgers
over the summer of 1985. I disagreed with some of
the ratings, so my own rating follows the original
one in parens. I have also added notes to some of
the episodes.]

The episode "Turnabout Intruder," the last Star Trek episode to air on network TV, was originally shown on June 3, 1969 rather than March 28, 1969.
