Star Trek's 60 Greatest Moments: Episodes 50-41

Sixty years ago today, Star Trek premiered. The countdown rolls on.

On this episode of Trek Geeks, Bill and Dan pick right back up with Star Trek's 60 Greatest Moments, moving into the next ten on Star Trek Day itself as we celebrate the franchise's 60th anniversary. Last time we cracked open the list with 60 through 51. This time the stakes climb a little higher and the picks start to sting a little more.

We're counting down entries 50 through 41, ten more moments pulled from every corner of the final frontier. From the Original Series to the movies, from Next Gen to the modern era, these are the scenes that made us gasp, the lines we've been quoting for decades, and the beats that remind us why this franchise has lasted as long as it has. A few of these are locks you saw coming. Others are going to spark exactly the kind of "wait, how is that not higher?" reaction we live for.

Half the fun of a countdown is the fight over it, and our live audience didn't hold back. If you've got your own picks, or a moment you'll never forgive us for leaving off, come find us on social and let us have it. With every installment, the list gets harder to argue about.

Happy 60th, Star Trek. Here's to the next sixty.
