I liked "Balance of Terror", where the Enterprise meets up with a Romulan Bird of Prey and a good ol' Type R enveloping plasma torpedo...100 points of damage, divided amongst 6 shields...a ship can survive the first one...the second torpedo removes what's left of the shields...third one kills.
Oops, sorry, I had a Star Fleet Battles flashback...but yeah, Balance of Terror. That, and when the Enterprise went back in time and captured a USAF pilot who tried to intercept the ship. I still remember when I first saw it, I wondered what show was on, because there was no hint of it being ST, just a klaxon and the scramble of the F-104...
Great show, the Original Series...even if it is a bit dated and corny by today's standards...
