    Yes we are Seven of Five, thanks for spotting that mistake. Rectified by adding Family. And I'll vote for Second Chances again, same reasons as before.

    I'm going for BoBW II. BoBW I was far superior and the episode does indeed drag once Picard is rescued.

    It's fine I thought I lost the episode somewhere when I posted the list. And it's not like I would have voted for Family anyway. ;)

    Voting for BofBW again. "Sleep, Data" - that's what I do during the snoozefest 3rd and 4th acts.

    Voting for Second Chances. I found this episode a little on the dull side.

    It wasn't easy, but I'm picking BOBW2 for being slow and just not as interesting to me as the others still ont he list.

    Second Chances gets a stay of execution due to Best of Both Worlds being stronger together than it is in two separate parts.

    Much as I like Darmok and the idea of communicating through literary references, it did leave me wondering how they teach the children or count.

    Another vote to kick Second Chances off the island. The whole magical transporter making two Riker's is 0.99.......% less plausible than the whole warp 10 in Voyager.

    Second Chances is done. Magical transporter nonsense.

    I really like all the remaining episodes, but I think Parallels is the weakest.

    Darmok again. A very good episode and shows the best of Trek but just not one I enjoy rewatching.

    Got to go with "Family." Dull and doesn't feel like Star Trek to me.

    I'm a bit stuck. :o

    I think I'll go with Parallels. In terms of alternate timelines, Yesterday's Enterprise and All Good Things... are stronger.

    I'll go with "Family" here. It's a decent episode, but it doesn't really come together for me like it does for many. Still, I'm grateful it acted as a response to the questions of Picard's future well-being posed in the previous two-parter. More contemporary television would keep that going for some time, but it's good for its time.

    Parallels. It's good for season 7, but not as good as the best of the earlier seasons. Plus it began the pointless Worf/Troi romance.

    Parallels goes down. It's a fine ep, but it's not much more than high-concept fun.
