Post your top favourites.

 

Mine are:

 

1. The Pegasus

2. Best of Both worlds 1 & 2

3. Yesterday's Enterprise

4. Booby Trap

5. Lower Decks

6. Contagion

 

I really like episodes where you see other Federation ships like in The Wounded and Contagion. I also enjoy it when you see part of the normal ship operations like in Lower Decks. This part is lost in the feature films. I don't feel like the Enterprise E is home for them since we never see any of the ship.

Some early episodes are soo bad. For example in the Neutral Zone, the guy wanders onto the bridge during the confrontation with the Romulans. Riker yells "get that man off the bridge" Security comes outa nowhere to remove him but the Romulans de-cloak and suddenly the security guards forget their job and guy is allowed to stay. If that was real life those security guards would have been fired in a second. Then Riker says he'd never thought he'd see a Romulan vessel this close. So the Federation have a signed treaty with the Romulans and a substantial border and Riker thinks he's never see a Romulan vessel. Not very strong writing in my opinion. It's flaws like these that ruin the early episodes. Actually, because of that one scene that episode has become one of my most despised. Mabye I'm too picky heheh.

Yeah I noticed that too with the idiot from the past on the bridge. But dispite that it is one of my favorite episodes from the first 2 seasons. One I forgot to mention is:

 

 

The Big Goodbye

 

None of the series really took off till season 3 anyway.

I like all the 2 parters. Some of my least favourites were Shades of Grey (has the lowest rating of them all lol), Menage a Troi (actually anything with Loixana Troi drives me crazy) and Code of Honour.

Hah.. yea especially season 1 had some comical errors to it.  Like the time when Riker and crew go the all women ruled planet and he goes to chamber of the leader.  They are having drinks and she starts to set hers down as the camera zooms...then all of a sudden this HAND comes up from the bottom of the screen and takes the glass away from her.  Also...sometimes you can see camera stands sitting in the turbolifts.  I liked season one and the errors just really make it more enjoyable for me.    Strange!

Yeah it showed their "Growing Pains" for sure. The first 2 seasons had it's moments but it wasn't till season 3 that it really took off.

My favs would have to be all the ones where it focuses on Data/Lore/Dr Noonien Soong. It was Also really cool in ship in a bottle. I would hate to be in that position. I had a headache just from watching it! Lore is soooo cool. He has what Data lacks (But I still love Data anyways!) and besides. Evil is just live spelt backwards!

I really liked the last couple of lines in 'The Most Toys'

 

"...Now you are the collecter. It must bring you great pleasure."

"No sir! It does not! I am only an android."

 

Of course, I love all the ones with Q.

"Con permiso mon capitane. The hall is rented, the orchestra qued, now lets see if you can dance!"

If you ever watched Voyager, he was hilarious when he had a problem with Qjr.

If you like this episode then you MUST also like Ship in a bottle, right? That's almost like Part 2 of  Elementary my Dear Data. Both great episodes.

I like:

The Naked Now (Data drunk, I don't know why I always laugh at it )

Suddenly Human (made me cry )

The Offspring (compared to Suddenly Human, an ocean formed in the living room )

Any episode with Data as the focus is my favorite, Masks was keen, too.

I have never been able to choose a favourite episode as there are so many incredible episodes. I think it would be easier to choose the worst since there would not be as many to choose from.

 

Some of my favourites: BOBW, Brothers, Chain of Command, Fistful of Datas, Data's Day, Gambit, Sarek, Inner Light and the list goes on and on.

OK, so just look at my name. . .and maybe you might think I'm biased. Any Data episodes are my favorites. . .Especially Brothers, Descent and The Offspring!

Data's Day. I loved the look on his face when he calls up the girl to dance with. I can't help but laugh out loud. In theory was good too.

This is my first post and I could think of nothing better to discuss than my favorite episodes.

I agree with all the people that mention how "less good" the first 2 seasons are... also I think it is obvious that most fans really enjoy the Q episodes. I mean you dont bring back a non-cast character every season or two if people dont enjoy him. Anyway, here are my favs and why... feel free to respond and agree or disagree.

 

 

1. Darmok

2. All Good Things

3. I, Borg

4. The Inner Light

5. The Best of Both Worlds

6. Data's Day

7. Measure of a Man

8. Sarek

9. Sins of the Father

10.Parallels
