It's a great Geordi story and a surprisingly good season 7 entry, especially compared to what's left.

TNG: "Interface"

And one that doesn't involve him trying to get a date, either.

I am going to save "Homeward" from TNG for two reasons:

1. I really like Paul Sorvino.
2. It does a great job of illustrating how absolutely, completely, totally bonkers the TNG-era interpretation of the Prime Directive is.

Saving "Dark Page".

We get to see the WHY of Lwaxana with her exuberant personality and how she is with Deanna. And it makes so much sense.

A real tragedy, and you can't help but look at her completely differently afterward.

I don't go for Voyager that often, but I'll save "Renaissance Man." A very fun penultimate episode for the series. I was glad to get another go round with the Overlookers, one of Voyager's more original DQ antagonists.

It's like reading through an encyclopedia of bacterial infections and deciding which is the least disliked:

TNG: "Liaisons"

It's TNG's version of "By Any Other Name", swapping high concept sci-fi alien invasion with a more introspective look and it - largely - works fairly well.

Saving "COVENANT".

It's a great illustration of how easily religion can be used to dupe people. Just underlines the dangers of such things.

Good performances by Visitor and Alaimo, as always.

Saving Chimera. I'm not sure why it took this long to save, but this is a great episode. JG Herztler does a great job as a changeling who challenges Odo, but who has a different sense of justice than the Dominion Changelings. This continues an arc in which Odo realizes he must return home someday.

And there's a sex scene ... I think.

I'm surprised everyone left "Gambit, Part II" for me, seeing as it's one of TNG's better part IIs, but I'll be its saviour.

This is getting quite difficult but, dang it, I'm going for it. I'm saving DS9's "Chrysalis" because I actually like the singing of the "do-re-mi" stuff. So sue me.

Unimatrix Zero is an interesting two-parter with an intriguing premise, not without its flaws, but still worth saving.

DS9's Tge Dogs of War sent the Ferengi out on a nice note, and also Quark parodying Picard's speech in First Contact is hilarious. :D

Also, Rom becoming Nagus: 'Wow.'

Saving "AFTERIMAGE".

Good focus fior Ezri, and having Garak also be the focus in an episode is never a bad thing.

I'm going to keep the streak of DS9 stories going and pick "When It Rains..." from the final arc. The trouble with these heavily serialised chapters is that I can't remember what exactly happened in it, but I do know that it's one of the ones I liked.

Exact same issue here. I really do need to finish my DS9 rewatch.

Meantime, I'll give "Drive" a save. Only bad thing about it was the fact that they replaced the Delta Flyer pretty much overnight. Faster than DS9 got another Defiant, in fact.

When it Rains... is another strong Final Chapter episode. Gowron cominhg back in the mix after becoming jealous is very compelling, as well as the devloping intrigue over the changeling virus.

Saving the last part of DS9's final arc that is left, "PENUMBRA".

It got the final ball rolling, and was a good start to finally finish Worf/Ezri.
