What was the best season of TNG?

Amtmann

Season 3 was TNG par excellance for me, followed very closely by 4 and then 5. Two comes next, followed by 6 and 7 and, lastly, 1.

I thought the series was consistently excellent through seasons 3 and 4, getting much better in season 2, of a high standard in season 5, getting poorer in 6 and 7, and pretty awful in season 1.

Well I looked under television and couldn't find it there so I am hoping this is the correct place for this?

Season Four

For me, it's also Season 3, but it's a hard toss between Season 2 and 4 too!

Season 3 features on average some of the best episodes of the series run. It started weakly with a 'Wesley and His Killer Robo-Germs', but then onto some great episdoes, such as Booby Trap and the 'Enemy Mine'-like episode 'The Enemy' where Geordi must work with a Romulan to survive.

This is followed up with the excellent 'The Defector' and the truly great 'Yesterday's Enterprise' (I often wished that all of TNG would be set in that reality. 'Battle Log...War Date 235643.4'....classic stuff)

And then ends with the best cliffhanger a Star Trek (or other) series could hope for- 'The Best of Both Worlds (part 1)'

Season Four

Absolutely. I found it very difficult to choose between season 3 and 4, but in the end episodes like "The Offspring", "Sins of the Father", "The Defector", "The Enemy", "Booby Trap", "Sarek" and "The Survivors" swung it for me.
The cinematography is season 3 was also absolutely superb.

Season 4 was also excellent - "Family", "Reunion", "Final Mission", "The Wounded", "The Nth Degree", "Qpid", and of course "Redemption" really stood out for me.

These episodes over those two seasons marked halcyon days for TNG for me.

Season 2: I loved "Q Who", "Where Silence Has Lease", "The Dauphin", "Contagion", and "Pen Pals", but there was a lot of rubbish there too - such as "Shades of Gray" and "Up the Long Ladder". In addition I continued to dislike the uniforms.

Season 1 stank to high heaven in my view.

Season 5 was a mixed bag, though generally very good. I loved "Redemption", "Silicon Avatar", "Disaster", "Unification" and "Conundrum", but didn't like just as many such as "The Game", "A Matter of Time", "Imaginary Friend", "I, Borg", "The Next Phase" and "Time's Arrow". I also feel the cinematography was quite poor here.

Sadly seasons 6 and 7 got worse, bar some excellent episodes like "Schisms", "Chain of Command", "Face of the Enemy", "Suspicions" and "Timescape" in 6; and "Parallels", "The Pegasus", "Thine Own Self" and "Homeward" in 7. The cinematography was better in season 7 than it was in 6; and, I think, episodes like "Acquiel", "Interphase", "Masks" and "Sub Rosa" were boring or awful, or both.

True. Shades of Gray especially annoyed me. I would have never expected a clip-show in Star Trek, and thankfully none since. (Just imagine a ST:ENT clip show *shudder*)

Season 2 is pretty much where I started to get into TNG and Star Trek in general. We get to see another Galaxy class ship blown to pieces for the first time, the Borg are introduced and whole season just feels darker.

With the exception of the final 2 episodes, Season 1 is very odd and does feature Wesley Crusher too often (i guess at that stage, they thought he would be popular:rolleyes:) I dunno, it just felt like that they were trying to copy the Original Series with modern effects at that stage, before fitting into their own style in Season 2

Whichever season had Chain of Command.
