    I'll be the one to do it. Relics, take away Scotty and you have a rather mundane and pointless episode.

    Schisms
    Chain of Command (II)
    Tapestry
    Lessons
    The Chase
    Frame of Mind
    Timescape

    "Schisms" is out. It was a nice idea, but not all that well executed, also while fun for camp value, having literal Bug Eyed Monsters could be considered a little much.

    Now we're down the meat of the season, and I find it getting pretty hard to eliminate those left:

    Chain of Command (II)
    Tapestry
    Lessons
    The Chase
    Frame of Mind
    Timescape

    Timescape.

    Typical Brannon Braga. Enterprise encounters a time-space phenomenon, and eventually the Enterprise explodes (2nd of 4 episodes and one movie of his where that happens).

    When we see the Enterprise frozen, there's a giant green scar on the lower saucer from weapons fire. When the time is restored, the saucer is fine, yet the bridge consoles in the back are still scarred. That continuity flub has bugged me for years.

    This is my favorite TNG moment, however:

    Some great episodes left but I'll eliminate The Chase. The other episodes are better and there is a lot of suspension of belief (Or is it suspension of disbelief, I get both phrases confused) at the end.

    Ok, I'm going to get rid of "Frame of Mind" which leaves one classic episode and the other has more re-watch value.

    Chain of Command (II)
    Tapestry

    Man oh man... now it's down to two showcases for Patrick Stewart's dramatic acting skills, this is really tough...

    I'll eliminate Chain of Command (II). Great performances from Stewart and the guest stars, but the Riker's insubordination is too much. Also the torture scenes are hard to rewatch.

    Now "Tapestry" officially wins.

    You have to explicitly say which you're eliminating in the final two?

    But... 2 - 1 = 1.

    Always, read the rules at the top of the thread. You have to include a reason.
