Trekkers:

[coloradodem2005]

What was the best TNG episode in your opinion?

For me it is either "The Best of Both Worlds". Both parts, where the Borg assimilated Picard, or "Yesterday's Enterprise" where the Enterprise-C came forward in time and in the alternate timeline the Federation was at war with the Klingons.

[onebigbadwulf]

1. The 2nd locutus episode

hands down

[BootinUp]

2. I like "Inner light"

Where Picard lives another life in 20 minutes, a probe from an extinct planet puts him into a dream state.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. I think I'd take Inner Light as well - or Who Watches the Watchers

also Family, Lessons, and Darmok.

All brilliant in their own ways, for their own reasons, but real solid, provocative compelling stories.

And just for fun, I love the Q episodes.

[arcane1]

6. Who Watches the Watchers and Rightful Heir are two of my top faves

:toast:

[Rabrrrrrr]

10. Rightful Heir didn't swing me so much

Though a good episode, and also giving some food for thought, it felt too much, I don't know, almost contrived - like it should have been a two parter. The answer and the resolution all came way too fast, so in the end, I felt like the story idea hadn't really been plumbed and was just sailed over quickly to get as much action in as possible.

[arcane1]

13. I tend to agree, it would've been a great 2-parter...

hell it would've been a great movie!

I really love the actor's portrayal of Kahless, some awesome inspiring speeches from him, I could see why they followed him! His final words to Worf, especially, could translate into our society with merely the change of a couple of names

Gowron was just like my cat, knew from the beginning that it was all some right-wing fundie plot :evilgrin:

[texasmom]

4. I love that one,

and it haunts me during the summer, especially, as I slather up my children in 40 spf sunscreen and hats. I hate what we're doing to our planet.

All TNG episodes were excellent, but that one was one of my top 5.

[tigereye]

23. that is one of my favorites!

very sweet and thoughtful.

[EstimatedProphet]

5. Any of the Klingon/Worf-centric episodes

I'm a Klingophile, and I love seeing the Empire.
Q'apla!

[Terwilliger]

7. Who Watches the Watchers

When they had to de-deify themselves

[BootinUp]

8. These were all great

I taped this Viewers choice marathon show a few years ago, supposedly the top five favorite shows:

5. Inner Light
4. (Can't remeber the name of it, but it had Scotty in it)
3. Yesterdays Enterprise
2. Borg Part 2
1. Borg Part 1

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. Relics is the Scotty episode

[KathCO]

9. First Contact was the best tng "episode". I love it.

even though there is too much picard time.

[arcane1]

11. the episode, or the movie?

the First Contact episode is another of my top faves :)

[KathCO]

14. The movie

I don't remember the episode one. I didn't know there was one called first contact.

[arcane1]

16. yeah, Riker is observing a culture disguised as one of them..

and he gets caught, they find out he's an "alien", mayhem ensues

it's a pretty good ep

welcome to DU! :hi:

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. And he has "alien sex" with Lilith!

[arcane1]

19. yes!!!!

:bounce:

[texasmom]

15. I have a couple...

One was "Night Terrors," I believe. The crew began to go crazy and they found out that it was because they weren't dreaming.

Also, I liked "Cause and Effect" where they were caught in some kind of repetitive time loop, and had to catch on while they were repeating the same scene over and over.

[arcane1]

20. ah, yes, both good ones

"Clues" was another good one from that general time period

[KathCO]

17. I also llike the de-evolving one

where every de-evolves because of some sort of modified virus that one of the crew has - I think it was Barclay.

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. "Genesis"

That one directed by the good Dr. Beverly.

Dr. gives Barclay a shot of stuff to help him with a sickness by activating a dormant thingabob in his DNA, and it ends up activating ALL of the dormant ones, and infecting the rest of the crew.

I quite like it also. I don't think it's very popular in the Trekker world, but I could be wrong.

[KathCO]

22. It's kind of creepy - that's why I like it.

The part where troi is pulled out of the tub and is sucking air is just plain wierd - yeah!

[Rabrrrrrr]

24. Yeah it is!

And silly as this may sound, McFadden does an INCREDIBLE job of acting like she's in absolute pain when Worf sprays her with venom.

I'd swear she really had been hit with acid the way she thrashes around and screams. :shudder:

[arcane1]

25. oh god, that was the most traumatic moment in Trekdom right there...

I also loved when they were hiding, and hear this evil noise coming, and wonder aloud what the hell it is... the answer:


"Worf"


:scared:

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. I think you're right

it's only a few seconds, but her screaming will forever haunt me.

And Worf - I wouldn't go up against a devolved Worf, pounding rather large indentations into the doors AND having that venom crap AND seriously feeling the need to mate.

Nope. I can think of much better ways to die.

[banana republican]

27. Mark Twain

OK so what if it was a remake of a Conneticut Yankee in King Aurthor's Court. I still enjoyed it...

Where else can you enjoy the inter connectedness of everything.

Like the man says:

No man is an island.

[carrowsboy]

28. FACE OF THE ENEMY

Where Troi is a Romulan! Funniest & most enjoyable Stra Trek..Evah!!!

Troi: "I HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED, SURGICALLY ALTERED, AND PLACED IN DANGER..."

Troi: "YOU DARE DEFY THE TAL SH'IAR!!!"

Troi: "I WILL HAVE YOU BLASTED OUT INTO SPACE!!!"

I also loved the pseudo-sapphic relationship she enjoyed with Romulan Cmdr. Toreth. I didn't know if they were going to kill each other or kiss!

N'vek was great too cause he had those shocked expressions where his mouth would gape open.

[Rabrrrrrr]

29. LOTS of good stuff in that one!

And some pretty good acting, as you point out, and Troi finally had her moment to find her authority.

N'Vek did have some great looks on him.

And Picard (or maybe Riker) with so much confusion - "What's Counselor Troi doing on that Romulan ship?" and later "What are these things on the bridge? HOLY HELL, members of the council! What's going on?"

[Astarho]

30. Darmok

Where Picard and the alien captian are trapped on the planet and Picard must learn their metaphoric language.

Other favorites are:
The Inner Light
The Chase
Relics
Masks

[Kamika]

31. I liked the cardassian 2 parter

I forgot the name but Picard was captured and tortured by the Cardassians, and some admiral took control of the Enterprise.. It was a really great episode.


Othervise I liked First contact ALOT, new uniforms, great movie (except the stupid humour on earth) and even abit of DS9 in it :D

Then The pilot and the last episode was GREAT aswell

[carrowsboy]

32. naked Picard

yelling

"THERE...ARE...FOUR...LIGHTS...THERE"

[Rabrrrrrr]

33. The torture scenes were excellent

That story line in the torture chamber was some incredibly well done science fiction writing, and powerfully performed. It's also great because everything that went on in the chamber is torture techniques being used today throughout the world. Someone on the show (Stewart, maybe? Or the writers?) was heavily involved with Amnesty International, so wanted to use techniques that are really used, like sleep deprivation, food deprivation, pain, and being forced to accept a falsity as truth.


"There are FOUR lights!" I will never forget that ending.

I think those episodes were called "Chain of Command".
