The best 4 for Voyager/DS9 and ENT

[alicelouise]

Star Trek TOS and TNG recently released a DVD of top shows for each series. What would be the top 4 shows for the other ST series? Here's mine for VOY and DS9. I don't have 4 for ENT because I haven't watched it enough.

VOY
1. Equinox Part 1
2. Equinox Part 2
3. Scorpion Part 1
4. Scorpion Part 2

DS9
1. In the Pale Moonlight
2. Duet
3. What you Leave Behind Part 1
4. What you Leave behind Part 2

I've just acquired ENT(the entire series). It is not the horrible red headed step child everyone that everyone makes it to be. It is not as strong as TOS or TNG but it isn't "Hello Larry" either. People cite Trek fatigue. I don't buy that. After all "Law and Order" has been on 19 straight years, has had three spin offs, station marathons, and no one is tired of it.

The biggest drawback that I've seen so far with ENT is that Charles Trinnear should have been Captain and Scott Bakula the Engineer/XO. The big plus is that Vulcans are not shown to be holier than Thou they just think they are. They seem more smug and self satisfied than brilliant logicians.

 

[Lord Garth]

DS9
Duet
Hard Time
In the Pale Moonlight
The Changing Face of Evil (I know it's not a stand-alone)

I haven't seen enough of ENT to say.

[Lord Garth]

Call to Arms

How could I have forgotten to list this?

I'm virtually smacking myself on the forehead.

 

[robtclements]

Not a great fan of Voyager; but these are four strong episodes that immediately spring to mind:

One Small Step
Timeless
One
Scorpion

As a committed Niner, this would be my choice today:

Emissary
Necessary Evil
Explorers
Trials & Tribble-ations

Can't usefully comment on ENT

 

[JiNX-01]

DS9: Great run to the final episode...
Tacking into the Wind
Extreme Measures
The Dogs of War
What You Leave Behind

VOY: I really enjoyed the Doctor and Seven of Nine, so...
Real Life
Someone to Watch Over Me
Body and Soul
Renaissance Man

ENT: Just love this show...
Similitude
Shuttlepod One
Cogenitor
Terra Prime

 

[RyuRoots]

DS9:
Call to Arms
Sacrifice of Angels
In the Pale Moonlight
The Siege of AR-558

VOY:
I'm only about halfway through, so I can't really say much. "Scorpion" however, was amazing, and should definitely be on such a DVD if it ever comes out, I think.

 

[Annorax]

DS9:
Sacrifice of Angels
In the Pale Moonlight
Trials and Tribble-ations
What You Leave Behind

VOY:
Eye of the Needle
Year of Hell
Timeless
One

ENT:
Twilight
In a Mirror, Darkly
Demons/Terra Prime

No way WYLB is anywhere close to being one of DS9's best episodes.

DS9 has way too many masterpiece episode to narrow down to 4 best.

Best episode is In the Pale Moonlight.

Other than that, no 3 are inherently better than any other 3 masterpiece episodes of DS9. Tons of things could be put on there like:

Far Beyond the Stars
Rocks and Shoals
The Die is Cast
Improbable Cause
The Wire
Statistical Probabilities
It's Only a Paper Moon
In the Cards
His Way
Call to Arms
Chimera
Crossfire
Necessary Evil
Empok Nor
Business as Usual
Treachery, Faith, and the Great River
...and tons more.

 

[RyuRoots]

No way WYLB is anywhere close to being one of DS9's best episodes.

...and yet you put up Empok Nor? We're all entitled to our opinions, but...whoo. I think "What You Leave Behind" is one of DS9's best myself, it's just really hard to pick 4 eps, like you said so I picked the first 4 great ones that came to mind. I will say, however, that I don't understand putting Trials and Tribble-ations on a 4-episode "best-of" collection for those that have. It was funny, but it doesn't belong on a "best-of" collection any more than "Fascination" if you ask me.

 

[Tachyon]

DS9:

The Wire
The Jem'Hadar
The Ship
In the Pale Moonlight

VOY:

Caretaker
Meld
The Gift
Night

 

[Mach5]

DS9

1. In The Pale Moonlight
2. Inter Arma Enim Silent Leges
3. What you Leave Behind Part 1
4. What you Leave behind Part 2

VOY

1. Year of Hell Part 1
2. Year of Hell Part 2
3. Timeless
4. Non Sequitor

ENT

1. Shuttlepod One
2. Breaking The Ice
3. Similitude
4. Home

The woman who played T'Pol didn't know what Vulcan was, I'm afraid. She was terrible.

But I guess her species isn't the main reason some like her so much.

 

[byron lomax]

DS9:

Duet
The Visitor
Hard Time
The Wire

Voyager:

Scorpion
Living Witness
Blink of an Eye
Think Tank (hey, I liked it!)

Enterprise:

Broken Bow
Shockwave
Dead Stop
Regeneration

The TOS/TNG DVD sets were also made with a view to roping in more casual and non Trek viewers to the Trek franchise. With that in mind DS0/VOY/ENT could have...

DS9
1. Emissary
2. Trials and Tribblations
3. In the Pale Moonlight
4. Duet

VOY
1. Caretaker(parts 1&2)
2. Equinox (Parts 1&2)
Scorpion would be an excellent candidate as well.

ENT
1. Broken Bow(Parts 1&2)
2. Through a Mirror Darkly(Parts 1&2)

 

[Garth Rockett]

DS9:

Duet
The Wire
The Visitor (shame on those who left this off their list!)
In The Pale Moonlight

VOY:

Caretaker (takes up the space of two episodes on this disc)
Living Witness
Blink of An Eye

ENT

Shuttlepod One
Similitude
In A Mirror, Darkly Parts I&II

 

[Warp Coil]

DS9:
Homefront/Paradise Lost
Trials and Tribble-ations
Call to Arms
In the Pale Moonlight

VOY:
Caretaker
Scorpion
Living Witness
Pathfinder

ENT:
Broken Bow
Cold Front
Similitude
In a Mirror, Darkly

 

[Geckothan]

It's really hard to pick just 4 best episodes for DS9, and this list is based on my current preferences. I could probably list 40, but here goes:

Call to Arms
In the Pale Moonlight
Trials and Tribble-ations
Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast (separate episodes in name only)

I don't watch VOY or ENT at all and I can't remember the names of any episodes I've seen

 

[Mendon]
