I’ve never really had a problem with The Omega Glory. Star Trek always had episodes that played on the parallel worlds idea. I think my only problem with the episode is when Kirk stands behind the woman during the fight in the cell which was out of character.

Agree on all except for MAN TRAP and O:A. Man Trap is a fascinating early "horror" episode which actually scared the hell out of me as a kid. O:A is kinda nice because it's a mystery and the aliens are something other than some guy in a suit (which I still like, such as the creature in MAN TRAP) or a human with makeup on (which I find disappointingly all to common in Star Trek). Also O:A has that great scene at the end when Spock smiles upon realizing Kirk is still alive which is one of his best moments on the run of the show.
