Shockwave (ENT) A really good 2-parter, as usual the interactions between the crew were my favorite parts

Star Trek: Discovery, season 3 episode 10, "Terra Firma, part 2".
Terra Firma part 2, then the Ready Room for that episode, then TAS (Once Upon a Planet)...plus the last hour of the latest Blood of the Void episode on Youtube is waiting for me after work on my computer at home.
Surprisingly, it was a Voyager episode. There's ton of them I have never seen, since I stopped watching a few seasons in. The last one was Counterpoint.
Thank you, CBS All Access!

(streamed) TNG "Unnatural Selection". Somber yet piquant, steeped in foreboding fear and taut production, even one moderate combined with one minor nitpick still don't begin to derail a high concept sci-fi horror and is Pulaski's best story bar none. A-
The smaller issue: Why not beam everyone relevant into a shuttle and bypass the (otherwise gritty and effective) "forcefield in sickbay" scene?
The larger issue: The transporter used to save the day makes an illustrious introduction in this story. Much like "Contagion" introducing the warp core breach phenomenon, its first excellent use would later lead to cliched overuse via numerous sappy reuses later on. But, as far as first times go, this one's a goody because of how and how deftly the makers had handled it. IMHO.

Cogenitor (ENT) Wow! and thought the message in Dear Doctor was bad
Ah yes, the episode in which every one in the Federation becomes functionally immortal.
And why
subsequent episodes stayed away from the direct premise but made tangents instead. Like Riker having a shiny new doppelganger and all the crude jokes that could have been put into Family Guy or Orville... 
Still, transwarp drive, firing while cloaked, Project Genesis, and a slew of other issues TOS had that were not developed farther in TNG at the time...
or even the inverse, as genetic alteration was a no-no as said flat outright in DS9 and later TNG but in this episode they're doing it outright and everybody's all happy about it. Apart from the premature death thingy, of course... still... I will be putting up a fuller post in a few days on some ruminations in the TNG room proper as it's an oddball-enough story that's "great", "not great", and "out there weird" all at the same time...

My latest rewatch:
(streaming) TNG "Elementary, Dear Data". A couple nitpicks are big yet they don't hamper the story enough (which says a lot), and the technical manual explains one possible issue anyway. Solid A (nitpicks kiboshed an A+)
