TV Guide ranks 35 greatest TREK

Ending the dry spell in recent weeks in which no fan club/genre organization/magazine/museum/ rotary club re-ranked the greatest episodes/moments/aliens/ships/bloopers/flubs/continuity errors/hairstyles/laser colors in STAR TREK history, TV GUIDE has announced it's April 20th issue will rank the 35 greatest moments in the TV history of the franchise.

Why an arbitrary number like 35? Because it's the 35th anniversary of the original STAR TREK, and the magazine is running 35 different covers for the issue. When placed beside one another, the covers will produce a mosaic of all the stars from STAR TREK, THE NEXT GENERATION, DEEP SPACE NINE, VOYAGER and ENTERPRISE.

That many covers is a record for the GUIDE, but far less than the 491 variant GARFIELD covers run by CAT FANCY in August 1982. Now please don't write CAT FANCY to round out your collection. That's a little joke. I think it was just 231 covers anyhow.

So what are the top three moments?

According to GUIDE, number three is Picard getting Borgafied in "Best of Both Worlds Part 1." Number two is Kirk reacting to Edith Keeler's death in "City on the Edge of Forever," while the top spot is taken with Picard getting into the running crew poker game at the and of "All Good Things..."

Now you know.
