Measure of a Man - At a time wien courtroom drama was big we got "Space Court". I don't like any of the Star Trek trials.

Measure of a Man, C above.
 
Thanks for sticking with the original rules! Of course, it's problematic with few voters - but OTOH, even I don't look in this forum usually. I just stumbled across this thread by chance because it was featured in the main section - so perhaps a bit of advertisement in the series-forums wouldn't be entirely out of place. :)

City, for reasons I have explained before (at least I think it was on this thread... or maybe just on the TOS one?)

A great episode, but Tacking is just a small part of a much larger arc and doesn't stand as well by itself. The final arc is excellent though.
 
Hmm. I'm wondering if there are enough of us to complete the round again! :lol: So I'm thinking I might vote for an episode that I love to help us along. I'm voting Measure of a Man, not because I hate it. I just guess that I dislike City on the Edge less. ;)

I have to say that these last ten episodes are all pretty strong in their own ways, so whatever wins should deserve it. More or less. ;)

Okay, I'm tempted to vote for The Measure of a Man just to end the round. There's only one episode here that I haven't seen in a while and don't remember a lot about, it being toward the end of DS9's all-arc Seventh Series doesn't help!

Nope, my vote goes for The Measure of a Man. The adversarial set-up between Riker and Picard is contrived and I'd agree that Riker's 'switching Data off' tactic being seen as some sort of master-stroke didn't really work all that well.

I don't normally visit General Trek, so I only noticed this thread by looking at the 'New Posts' feature. That said...

Our first Andorians. 1 real and one fake. I liked Enterprise Andorians much better.

Some hard choices ahead, Not a huge DS9 fan I tend to prefer shorter story arcs and less militaristic episodes however,

"IPML" had some good performances even from the normally awful Avery Brooks and seeing Garak pull Sisko towards darkeness was excelent.

"CTA" was a nice cliffhanger and set up season 6 nicely.

"TITTW" while it was a reasonable episode in itself I felt it was a weak ending to the Kligon arc (Gowron is getting out of hand OK lets kill him) The whole episode made Martok seem weak, he was the one whose honour was being challenged he should have stepped up not just for the sake of the empire but for his own honour. (very un klingon) and then Worf wants him to be emperor? Also the guy who plays Gowron is a ham.

Oh nooooo don't let it be true. If JTB goes I'll need a blood transfusion from my estranged son who'll be too busy to give it to me. :vulcan:
 
Well, look at it this way. Each of these episodes were one of only three from a given series that beat out every other episode in said series. "Journey to Babel" still made it very far!
