What is your favorite Star Trek TNG episode?

Always enjoyed any episode with Q in it or a heavy dose of Romulans.

Q Who - Q introduces the Federation to the Borg

Yesterday's Enterprise : Enterprise-C comes through a time portal and alters the universe for the Enterprise-D.

Lots of great episodes.

"Darmok"....

The senior crew discuss their latest mission: to make contact with the Tamarian race who have been transmitting signals toward Federation space for weeks. The Enterprise makes contact with a Tamarian ship in orbit around the planet El-Adrel. Though the universal translator can translate their words, the Tamarians only communicate through allegory which baffles the Enterprise crew. Likewise, the Tamarians cannot understand Picard's straightforward use of language. Frustrated by their failure at communication, the Tamarian captain, Dathon, has himself and Captain Picard transported to the planet's surface.

This episode is considered one of the most popular of all the TNG episodes, along with the Hugo Award winning "The Inner Light" from Season 5 and "The Best Of Both Worlds, Part I", which was the Season 3 finale and "The Best Of Both Worlds, Part II" and "Family", the first two episodes of season 4.

Darmok

Where No One Has Gone Before, with the Traveler.

Also, Redemption. Data takes command, like a boss.

Hard to pick. Was a damned good show.

Just seeing yalls picks is a trip down memory lane. I think I've watched every TNG episode twice, but they really do all kind of roll together. Agree with most on here. I like the Q episodes. Also used to love any episode where Wesley Crusher was a large part of the story line.

Man I want to do another rewatch of one of the trek series.

"The Inner Light"

This is always my pick if I have to chose ONE episode.

I love the Borg eps as well, they are all pretty good...especially the two-parter, best of both worlds

Another one that doesn't get brought up very much, that I really like is "Lower Decks". It ties together with the episode where Wesley's team got into trouble back at the Academy, as one of the team members ends up on the Enterprise. "A mission of the Enterprise as seen through some junior officers who are up for promotions, as questions of duty and honor arise among some of them, such as a Bajoran whom Worf has designated to be promoted to operations." A LOT happens on this one. You get to know characters of lower ranks and are reminded that all of the characters that you've grown to love, really are the highest ranking on the ship (authority that you kind of forget about, since they are your pals from so many seasons). Highly recommended watch or rewatch for anyone on a TNG kick.

I can't remember the name of it, but it is the one where Riker's former captain, who is now an admiral, comes onboard to command a mission to an asteroid where there is secret illegal cloaking technology that the admiral needs to recover and cover up before the other race that is also hunting it down finds it.

The admiral expects Riker to participate in the cover up since he was apart of the initial operation where he led a mutiny, if I remember correctly. Riker commits what he thinks is suiciding his career by telling the truth to Picard.

Hard to choose. I prefer the episodes when Riker had a beard. Those seem to be better for some reason.
