You have 5 season three episodes on those lists, and surprisingly three are on your "best". "The one with Abe Lincoln" is THE SAVAGE CURTAIN, and when I watched it again for the first time in ages not too long ago, I was gobsmacked how good it was. I viewed it shortly after being on an Abraham Lincoln kick, and like Kirk was impressed if a little suspicious at just how right Lincoln behaved. Everything in the episode is eloquently written. And to think for years I remembered the episode only for what is the most bizarre pre-credits teaser ever.

I also have good things to say about TURN ABOUT INTRUDER, where Kirk's body is taken over by a jealous ex. Another potentially ludicrous premise, but I was riveted. Really.
