The Original Series: Season One ranking (from a first time viewer)
As a kid, I never really got into Star Trek the same way I had with other Scifi franchises like Star Wars and Doctor Who. I mostly got my knowledge from the Kelvin Timeline films (which I still love to this day).
My dad is a huge fan of the Original Series and got the entire boxset for really cheap at a sale a few years ago and with a passing interest in Trek, I decided to give it a go. I took a long break for a few years due to starting and finishing university but I finally finished Season One of the Original Series a few days ago and here are my episode rankings. I was going to do a tier list but none of the Star Trek subreddits allow image posts.

Balance of Terror
The Galileo Seven
Court Martial
The Menagerie
