Hard choice but the ones I go back to rewatch are Yesterdays Enterprise, Q Who, First Contact (the episode of course :P), Who Watches The Watchers, Ship In A Bottle, The Offspring and All Good Things. But there’s tons of other great episodes I just don’t rewatch as much.

Absolutely going to back up Who Watches the Watchers, brilliant episode

Glad to hear it :)

Oh boy you are in for a ride. I also started watching TNG like 7-6 years ago from Netflix. Took me at least a year to finish (after which I move to DS9 which is also great).

The beginning of TNG has not aged that well (although it has it’s 80s charm) but once the series gets going, it becomes evident why it is considered a classic. Great stuff 90% of the episodes.

Lucky you! 😁

Going to add a couple more not mentioned yet that I always loved: Clues Timescape

All these are great TNG episodes but no one has mentioned one of my all time favorites…

Relics

Also, the one where O’Brien convinces his former captain to turn himself in because he’s gone rogue and is attacking Cardassian ships during peacetime.

The Wounded!

Starship mine. Just Picard, his ship, some thieves and the uncaring death machine known as the remmler array.

Also bonus points for Tim Russ, data having small talk with hutch, and “ Anyone who is an experienced rider naturally has his own saddle”

Or as I call it, Star Trek: Die Hard

Deja Q because it’s Q being probably his most fun alongside the crew still championing the core tennants of the Federation. Given all the trouble he had given them and all the trouble he brought they could have just kicked him out but they didn’t. It’s a fun episode that works because at this point we know all the characters well.

Yesterday's Enterprise is one of the show's finest episodes.

Measure of a Man is great. Buckle up for Season 3 - it is the best season of TNG. Yesterday’s Enterprise and Sarek are my personal favorites.

Don’t think anyone has mentioned this one yet … "All good things … ". It’ll take you a while to get there as it’s the finale of the whole show in S7.

It may not be the best episode or even my favourite, but I adore it as a finale for the show and basically think of it as my favourite finale of any show (anyone care to provide a better one?).

Otherwise I’ll plug “Cause and Effect” (5th season). A great little piece of science fiction in a stand alone episode.

The Inner Light is by far my favorite episode. Jean-Luc is visibly changed after his experience.

TIL it is Patrick Stewart's favorite episode of the series.

Also mine!

The name instantly conjures the flute melody.

A wonderful piece of science fiction.

I’d say The Inner Light is almost universally considered the greatest TNG episode, although there are other great ones.

I in particular enjoyed The Measure of a Man, The Drumhead, The Chase, Who Watches The Watchers, Yesterday’s Enterprise, The Offspring, The Best of Both Worlds, Darmok, Chain of Command, The Pegasus, Lower Decks, and All Good Things.

Almost certainly the worst episode is Masks (or maybe Shades of Grey)

@ggiesen @Madison_rogue

The Chase is one of my go-to feel good episodes!

obsoulete ,

My most memorable are episodes with Q.

Xariphon ,

All of my usual go-to ones have already been said (The Inner Light, Chains of Command, etc.) so I'll add one that I think had not:

Frame of Mind

The ones directed by Jonathan Frakes in general, but that one in particular is just amazing.

Also, I think it's called "Disaster"? The one where Picard is trapped with all the kids and that one girl steps up as "Number One" for the day and then Riker lets her sit in his chair at the end. It's not a perfect episode, but it is just really heartwarming.

I like disaster too! Frère Jacques… Frère Jacques…

Lol

Xariphon ,

What do you mean you've never heard of "The Laughing Vulcan and His Dog"?

Basilisk ,

I remember reading someone joke about this line somewhere about how that song is probably about Sybok and J’onn on Nimbus III.

ggiesen , (edited )

Respectfully, I hated Frame of Mind, although I can certainly understand why some people would enjoy it. I just felt as frustrated watching it as Riker was in it.

Xariphon ,

To me that's part of the appeal, is going along for the mindf--- with him.
