Name your top 10 Star Trek The Next Generation stories!

[Deja Q]

Mine, from best to least-best:

All Good Things...
The Measure of a Man
Elementary, Dear Data
Q Who
Yesterday's Enterprise
The Mind's Eye
The Best of Both Worlds
Encounter at Farpoint
Tapestry
The Ensigns of Command

[sarge43]

1. Couldn't stand Encounter or Ensigns

So I'll substitute The Inner Light, especially the final scene; that's a heartbreaker. And Family.

[Deja Q]

3. Encounter, overall is not so great...

but a few scenes really stand out. Especially Q's initial rant with Picard on the Enterprise bridge; reminding Picard of human history... some very intuitive stuff.

[elocs]

2. There was a Next Generation? (Just kidding!) n/t

[Radical Activist]

4. Not for the first season.

For season one, it was just remakes of original episodes.

[petronius]

5. The Drumhead, Worf killing Duras, and pretty much any episode

in which Wesley suffered...

[skygazer]

6. I'm too lazy to look up the names

But the one in which Picard lives an entire lifetime with a family and children - the one where he plays the flute. I loved that one.

Measure of a Man
All Good Things

There was one in which some kind of work had to be done on the Enterprise and the whole crew beamed down to the planet. But when Picard found out they had horses, he had to go back to get his own saddle and got into all kinds of trouble. I've forgotten what the plot was but I had to love a man who realizes that you can't comfortably ride without your own saddle (I've ridden in the same saddle for over 30 years).

9. The Inner Light, skygazer. Love that one, too.

The other one is Starship Mine -- I think.

[YankeyMCC]

7. Darmok

Who Watches The Watchers?
The Inner Light
A Matter of Honor
The Child
Pen Pals
The Ensigns of Command
The Offspring
The Best of Both Worlds (both parts as one story)
Half a Life

[skygazer]

8. Oh, yeah, Darmok would go on my list

[LeftyMom]

17. Darmok was the first thing I thought of

It's neat how it takes an established Star Trek convention and turns it on its head.

[CrazyForKucinich]

10. Not in order except for the first one...

Tapestry
The First Duty
I, Borg
Who Watches the Watchers?
The Offspring
The Outcast
Preemptive Strike
All Good Things
Lower Decks
Parallels

very tough list to make. I'm surprised I have 4 episodes from Season 7...as I'd put it the 4th best.

Seasons 3,5,6 and 7 are really really good though. 4 I think is way overrated.

[Deja Q]

11. Season 7 was rather good...

Especially when 5 and 6 were such rubbish...

4 is probably the best, though 2 and 3 are refreshingly good too.


"Preemptive Strike" was a good one, though Ro couldn't say "Hasperat" correctly... very jarring...

12. My Favs The Top 10

The Wounded
The Drumhead
Sarek
Unification
Relics
Hollow Pursuits
Darmok
The Nth Degree
Data's Day
Chain of Command

[democracyindanger]

13. Don't know the title

but that one where the holodeck malfunctions was a good one.

[Cannikin]

14. the ONE?

:rofl:

[Generic Brad]

15. Do the books count?

Or are we restricting this to video? Because if you accept the books, "Q-In Law" is hilarious. Q and Lwaxana Troi hook up. Priceless.

[baldguy]

16. Family

[Vidar]

18. "Ship in a bottle" (return of Dr. Moriarty) and " Elementary, Dear Data"

were two of my favorties. I liked most Data-centered & Reg episodes, but disliked most Q or Klingon tales.

[Akoto]

19. Here are my favorites ...

All Good Things ...
Family
The Inner Light
Tapestry
The Best of Both Worlds
Yesterday's Enterprise
Relics (hey, it had Scotty!)
Attached
The Measure of a Man
The Chase

I loved how they had Scotty and Picard together in the holodeck, on the bridge of the old Enterprise.
