Takara_Soong 4 Posted October 6, 2005 What do you think? Most people I've talked to believe it was season 3 but I thought I'd ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sea trooper 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Yeah, around season 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prometheus 0 Posted October 6, 2005 Season 3. And why? Better uniform Return of Gates McFadden as Crusher The roles of the crew more firmly established Btter story writing Brilliant Cliff hanger ending that has never been surpased Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt 0 Posted October 6, 2005 I always liked Tasha Yar but I think the series did improve when she left so season two for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen of Borg 2 Posted October 6, 2005 either season two or three. Season two had some great episodes that were a lot better than what season one had so I voted for Season 2 just because they were finally starting to get it right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cramase 0 Posted October 6, 2005 I say Season Three, Basically for the same reasons Prometheus pointed out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prometheus 0 Posted October 6, 2005 I always liked Tasha Yar as well but i thought that Denise Crosby was much better as the evil Sela. It's a pity that they couldnt have drafted her in maybe as a defector or something: the Romulan crewmember that no one ever quite trusted! Worf was the natural choice for Security Officer. I mean, who else to fire the phasers and take a prisoner to the brig? Grrrr.... Wesley Crusher was given a stronger role in Season 3 as well. And the backlit graphics and overall special effects were a lot less wobbly :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tina 0 Posted October 6, 2005 It was a two parter: Best of Both Worlds.. after that TNG was the shiznick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted October 6, 2005 I think there are some good episodes from both seasons 1 & 2 but season 3 was when they hit their stride. The look improved and I don't just mean the new uniforms but the way the series was shot. The stories were better. Everything just seemed to start hitting on all cylinders.

trekz 7 Posted October 6, 2005 I agree that season 3 was when TNG hit its stride. Season 2 did have some great episodes, but imo season 3 was when the overall quality of stories increased. And yes, Best of Both World's was where the series became totally compelling to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A l t e r E g o 9 Posted October 6, 2005 I liked TNG right out of the gate because it had Gene style Trek written all over it, it was updated OS and I liked that about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ace 0 Posted October 6, 2005 (edited) I'd say it was more of a drawn-out process of hitting its stride. For me, it started late in season 2, specifically with "Q Who." There were too many good eps in that season too ignore its quality, including "The Emissary" and "Peak Performance." It finally HIT its stride, though, in season 3. The Ensigns of Command Booby Trap The Vengeance Factor The Defector Déjà Q Yesterday's Enterprise The Offspring Captain's Holiday Tin Man Sarek Ménage à Troi and finally... The Best of Both Worlds, Part I, the episode that solidified the franchise for the seasons to come. My vote definitely goes to season 3. (As for when the series started to lose its stride, I'd say season 6, though there were many excellent eps in seasons 6 and 7.)
