Slice

Mine would be the Voyager episode Counterpoint where Janeway finds herself falling for the alien inspector who keeps searching the ship as it travels through their space. It's such a smart storyline and so brilliantly executed - it falls into that same category of Star Trek episodes that just blows me away.

I've been reading online and it seems that The Visitor from Season 4 of DS9 is one of the most popular episodes of any Star Trek series.

I have to say I can't disagree. I haven't seen every episode of every Star Trek series, but I will be amazed if I ever see anything that is better than The Visitor, in any TV series. It is quite simply the most amazing episode of a TV programme I have ever seen. What's better is that you don't have to be a Star Trek fan to enjoy it.

It is incredibly moving and perfectly executed. I came close to skipping over the entire episode when I read the summary that it was about Jake Sisko. At that point, I didn't know it was one of the most popular DS9 episodes. But I'm so glad I didn't skip over it. It was one of those shows where I could feel my eyes welling up and huge lump in my throat. I'm just glad no-one seen me when I was watching it, they'd have wondered what was wrong with me

Seriously, make sure you see this episode. Even just thinking back about it, I can feel myself getting emotional. Simply perfect television.

Right on!

+1 on The Visitor- excellent, excellent televison from beginning to end.

I have a soft spot for TNG: Half a Life, I think because I realised for the first time watching it, that Star Trek could explore sensitive topics (euthanasia in this case) in such a way. I know that that's one of the basic appeals of Trek, but having only seen a handful of TNG episodes, it was this one that demonstrated that appeal to me. Of course, it loses point for having Lwaxana Troi :P Although she behaves herself in this episode and is actually bearable!

The Expanse

I actually loved season 3 of ENT. So the way that set things up was cool.

DenMan

The Defector because of the implications of the story, the greater good and moving forward. The Visitor because of the beauty of the story, the acting performances and broader reaches of the story. So many more I can think of.

Moneymaker you forgot Hard Time one of my fav DS9 eps.

The one where O Brien has 20 years of memories of being in prison implanted in his head

Slice

Actually, talking about O'Brien - I really liked that DS9 episode where he returns from some world to find that everyone is acting really weird around him and he's convinced there's some sort of conspiracy going on against him. As he tries to find out what it is everyone really does turn against him and the station's crew chase him down as he runs away.

Big Tone

"All Good Things" the TNG series 7 finale from 1994.

Quality improved after series 3 IMHO

Polarity

For me it was TNG: Preemptive Strike. That's gotta be one of the most emotionally charged episodes I've ever seen.

Stangely enough, although I think the overall quality of DS9 was better, TNG had more "totally amazing" episodes. It just had a lot of fairly poor ones as well.

Honourable mention goes to ENT: These are the Voyages - it really gives one a sense of the scope of Star Trek as one continuing story; I know it changed my perception of all the shows since.

noodler

Is that a joke? That was such a joke episode. Wish the show had just been allowed run its course.

Polarity

What, Preemptive Strike or TatV?

If it's TatV you're talking about, I have to admit, I thought the idea was idiotic starting off, but the ending just kicked ass.

I found it too similar to Whispers for it to make a real impact on me. It's a good episode though.

You mean this?

Irishtrekkie

Well all the good ones have already been said.

honestly i cant believe someone said ENT: These are the Voyages ,
............i mean really its not that its a bad esp , like as a mid season
esp it would be o.k. , but as an end of season esp i want a cliff hanger
and as the last esp of enterpise its a joke. i was just starting to like
enterpise and for the last esp i get half tng esp !!! that just annoyed me.
but i love the last 10 secs with the voice over and ships , shame about the rest.


DS9
In The Pale Moonlight ( just showed star trek is not always black and white)

TOS: Episode with the Gorn.

TNG: The one were Picard is interrogated by the Cardassians. "There are FOUR LIGHTS!"

DS9: The one with them in the Dominion Prison.

VOY: The one where Kes gets posessed by someone and is all evil.

Don't have a favourite Enterprise episode.

Wrath Of Khan is my favourite film.

I'm terrible at remembering episode names!

nyarlothothep

the gorn episode was cool alright, I liked the philosophical and ethical themes. The fight scene was hilarious, it adds to the cheesiness

DS9: In Purgatory's Shadow and DS9:By Inferno's Light, a couple of the best episodes of Deep Space Nine.

VOY: Warlord

Was a good episode and she looked so hot in it!

Having watched the way of the warrior at the weekend, it was pretty good. I still think I prefer chain of command above it though. Now I need more DS9.

I loved TNG as its really what got me into ST apart from a few TOS but DS9 i think now is my favourite once the dominion comes in.

Great videos. I know I've already posted in this thread, but I change my mind, I've been watching seasons 4-7 of DS9 on DVD, and it keeps exceeding my expectations. In The Pale Moonlight was incredible, it is the best piece of television I've seen in a long time.
