I think the one I liked best was the episode where they were brokering a peace between two warring groups that was to be cemented with a marriage. And the bride has the special characteristic of "imprinting" on the groom to be the perfect the wife for him. But she imprints on Picard instead.

Pretty poignant episode.

I used to watch TNG every night (came on like WGN around 10:30 or 11:00 weeknights). I don't remember a lot of specifics, but the one that always stands out in my memory as one of my favorites is the one where everybody starts to de-evolve into primitive life forms and shite.

Looking it up, it's called "Genesis." That one was awesome.

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

The episode where Picard had to save Wesley Crushers dumb arse from execution after crashing into the flower bed. And Q losing his powers.

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"....

quote:

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.

Famke was pretty hot in that - in her pre-X-Men days.



But, yet another example when TNG just cavalierly ripped off a TOS story (Elaan of Troyius - get it "Helen of Troy"?).

They executed it very well.

But, the best TNG episode remains: Chain of Command (2-parter).

"There are FOUR lights!"

(But, he admitted that he saw five.)

And this remains some of the best acting on television, ever, ever, by Patrick Stewart and David Warner in the interrogation/torture scenes.

Where No One Has Gone Before, with the Traveler.

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

The Drumhead is one of my favorites.

quote:

Picard: "You know, there are some words I've known since I was a schoolboy: 'With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured...the first thought forbidden...the first freedom denied--chains us all irrevocably.' Those words were uttered by Judge Aaron Satie, as wisdom...and warning. The first time any man's freedom is trodden on, we're all damaged. I fear that today--"

I watched this show every time it came on and I don't remember anything specific regarding plot

I remember Riker was a bad guy on one episode or something but that is basically it.

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

I actually just started watching TNG on Netflix. Just finished TOS and the first 6 movies. I'm 3 episodes in so it would be hard for me to pick a favorite, but I'm enjoying it as much as TOS.

I was a fan of the cross over episodes. Also, I really liked the last episode of the series where Picard is jumping between times.
