There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

5 original star trek episodes that were banned overseas

That is interesting. I can see why Patterns of Force was banned anyways.
Makes me think-
Growing up in Dallas in the early to mid 1970's, Star Trek was syndicated on Channel 39 which was a Christian owned station at the time. Several of the original series episodes had been banned for years for various reasons. Sometime around 1974-75, the station made a big deal about finally showing the banned episodes and this caused a major buzz for us 7th graders. So for one week they broadcast the "lost episodes" and for the first time saw "Catspaw" (occult themed?), "And the Children Shall Lead" (kids in charge? Hehe), "Lights of Zetar" (Paranormal stuff), "Plato's Stepchildren" (that interracial kiss...the South was very non-progressive back then) and possibly "Miri" (again, kids in charge).
Personally I thought Lt Uhura was a hottie.
This was a big event seeing "new" episodes of Star Trek!

I think a lot of folks nowadays have totally forgotten that 'The Original Series' was VERY progressive for its day....
