We’ve had quite a lot of Star Trek produced over the years! The last I had seen we’re well over 900 episodes and counting. There have definitely been a lot of episodes that weren’t that good, but we’ve also had quite a few episodes that are pretty great! What are your favorites?

I always have issues with narrowing things down, but these are the episodes that immediately spring to mind:

  • DS9 1x19 Duet
  • DS9 2x22 The Wire
  • DS9 7x10 It’s Only a Paper Moon
  • TOS 2x06 The Doomsday Machine
  • TNG 3x03 The Survivors

After writing down those episodes and thinking about it a bit more, I also thought of these as well:

  • DS9 4x19 Hard Time
  • TNG 3x23 Sarek
  • DS9 6x19 In the Pale Moonlight
  • TOS 1x14 Balance of Terror
  • TNG 2x09 The Measure of a Man
  • DS9 4x02 The Visitor
  • TNG 4x02 Family

There are certainly more I haven’t thought of so the list changes sometimes, but it’s at least the list of the episodes that I remember most!

    I found “The Enemy” to be a wonderful episode. I liked the egg LaForge and Bachra became something like friends. Also, I have a soft spot for the Romulans. Beautiful ships, and we share a tendency to lurk.

    My only disappointment with the whole episode was Picard not taking the opportunity to thank Bachra for helping save Geordie.

      I do remember that being a good episode. I like the Romulan ships too, the D’deridex is my favorite non Starfleet ship.

          I’ve always been partial to the Constitution, preferably the TOS but also the SNW version. The Ambassador is another, and I also like the Crossfield other than the spinning saucer and ultra long naceles!

              That is a good ship! They were in service for quite a long time, I’m assuming with major systems upgrades like the B-52 has gotten. It’s very impressive that the Miranda was in service from the original NCC-1701 clear up to the Enterprise-E at least! Obviously they had no chance of keeping up with the top of the line ships at that point, but in universe they must have been a very solid platform for upgrades.

                Right, and not every ship needs to be a battleship. Pirate patrol, coast guard, courier, general exploration and poking at things. All incredibly valuable roles that can be handed with sensor and engine upgrades.
