We love looking at what other people have said about Star Trek, so we’ve compiled some of the ratings for season one of The Original Series all in one place to compare. We took the ratings from a few different reviewers and calculated what their scores would be out of 100. Keep in mind that they originally didn’t rate the episodes with that exact scale, but we tried to accurately translate their rating. It’s also important to keep in mind that each reviewer may have different meanings behind their ratings.

We once again took a look at Jordan Hoffman‘s reviews, blogger for StarTrek.com. We included the reviews by Jamahl Epsicokhan who runs Jammer’s Reviews. We also have Kethinov, another favorite Star Trek reviewer. We’re also bringing back the duo that is Treknobabble. Keep in mind that Treknobabble’s scores are a combined rating from two reviewers, so their scale is slightly different.

The episode with the lowest average rating was The Alternative Factor which had a score of 32.

The top episode was City on the Edge of Forever with an average score of 94, which might have been expected.

Here are the top 5 according to the averaged scores:

1. City on the Edge of Forever – 94
2. Balance of Terror – 90.5
3. Space Seed – 87.5
4. The Menagerie Part 1 – 81
5. The Devil in the Dark – 71.5
