Which particular episode(s) of Star Trek do you find yourself going back to?

Just interested if there’s an episode of a particular series you find yourself going back to? Not necessarily “the best” or your favorite, just one you gravitate toward for a comfort re-watch? Here’s the episodes from each series I find myself re-watching a lot:

TOS: Mirror, Mirror (instant classic, love the episode)

TNG: The Offspring (favorite Data episode, gives me a lump in the throat)

DS9: The Visitor (similar feeling to The Offspring)

VOY: Blink of an Eye (brilliant episode, even if it apparently rips off a novel but it’s cool to see the concept on TV)

ENT: Similitude (love the drama, love the theme and emotions)

DIS: Need to rewatch the first four seasons to find an episode that I’d want to rewatch

PIC: Vox (Okay, for the ENT-D reveal…)

SNW: Momento Mori (the first season is way better than the second season, and this episode is really cool IMO)

Haven’t seen enough of TAS, Prodigy, and Lower Decks to select any.

I love the ‘Darmok’ episode from TNG.

I adore VOY: The 37s. Janeway and Earheart have a really great character arc.

I feel like the recent SNW “Those Old Scientists” is quickly going to be joining my list.

Seeing and hearing so many “boimlerisms” on the flesh made me very happy.

maegul ,

And Mariner-isms too!

richieadler ,

Indeed. Watching Ready Room and paying attention to details after Jack Quaid mentioned the effort to include them was really nice. And Mariner’s demeanor and speech patterns were awesome. No wonder the cast felt “energized”. The animated faster tempo is real.

Ones I can rewatch pretty much anytime: The Doomsday Machine, Yesterday’s Enterprise, The Next Phase, Cause ans Effect

Since we’re talking comfort food and not best of/favourites:

TOS: The Immunity Syndrome.

I have no idea why. Seriously. It’s inexplicable. There are lots of better episodes (Balance of Terror, The Menagerie, The City on the Edge of Forever just to name a few), but something about The Immunity Syndrome makes for perfect chill out/nap TV for me…

Balance of Terror from TOS is, without any doubt, my favorite Star Trek episode.

Whoa, I was gonna also mention “balance of terror”, but I thought that’d be too geeky.

cstine ,

Geeky yes, but Mark Lenard is great in every appearance.

Agreed. I love Balance of Terror.

“It’s a FFFFFAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHKKKKE!”

Best line deliver in television imo.

I know it gets a lot of hate, but TNG: Masks. There's no adversary, just the crew working together to solve a problem. The solution is based in understanding. For similar reasons, I like Cause and Effect and Time Squared.

startrekexplained OP ,

I like Masks too :P

TheAgeOfSuperboredom ,

One of the episodes that stuck with me since I’ve been a kid.

Fun fact- the character named Corgana is named after Billy Corgan of smashing pumpkins. The writer was a fan.
