Classifications of the Star System:
Stars Description
½ The best part is the opening credits.
* Poor, scientifically-unsound plot, with mediocre acting.
Mediocre plot and acting, scientifically sound but highly implausible.
** Average Star Trek, typical acting, not especially intriguing.
**½ A two-star show with some novel twist added.
*** A minimal "entertaining" episode.
***½ 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.
****½Excellent, 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.
