I'm watching BBC America's Friday night Star Trek marathon and now the episode "The Doomsday Machine" which had the most brutally intense acting I've seen in sci-fi, any Trek or otherwise: William Windom as the mentally damaged Commodore Decker. He sold his utter pain and anguish so well, it was actually difficult to watch because I felt so awful for him. It's like Kirk said before Decker's suicide, "Matt, nobody expects you to die for an error in judgment!" And when Decker whispers, "I've been prepared for death ever since I....I killed my crew," that's some balls-to-the-wall acting there.
