    Here's something not mentioned a lot with STNG! What was the best action sequence..

    Some examples might include the extended rescue of Picard in BoBW, the Borg battle in Q Who, the phaser battle in Power Play, or Data's comandeering of the Enterprise in "Brothers".

    I still kind of like the Binars theft of the Enterprise. The re-taking of Starfleet Command by Picard and Riker in Conspiracy.

    I like picard fighting the Borg with the Tommy gun In the holodeck. As for the movies I enjoyed data "big jump"

    I've always been a fan of the Picard/Riker team ups. With the binars, in Conspiracy and in Gambit.

    Also, I like the intro to that early episode (I can't remember which one) where Riker and Worf engage in combat with hollowdeck creatures.

    But my favorite action sequences are in Starship Mine and, believe it or not, Qpid, just because Picard is so handy with a sword.

    Yes, in retrospect, more Picard/Riker team-ups would have been nice.

    Those are both from the movies. :)

    My favorite TNG "action" would be Data taking over the Enterprise (Brothers), Worf and Data rescuing Picard (BOBW), the repeated section from Cause and Effect, and Starship Mine in general. (And I also liked some of the stuff in Gambit 1 + 2) TNG didn't do a lot of action, which was fine by me. :)

    I like the one from The High Ground and I think it has some pretty cool music. As a kid I loved the fleet scenes in Redemption II

    I liked Picard's crossbow in Starship Mine. In fact, in terms of an action episode, that one was pretty good.

    Gambit was a personal favourite for a more action oriented episode, and of course Best of Both Worlds had some good sequences but the constraints of TV budget meant that episode focused heavily on suspense and fear, which is nice and cheap. Saying that though, the Wolf 359 sequence in Emissary is pretty good too.

    I like the one where Picard beams onto the bridge and punches the guy in the face.

    I liked many episodes from season 1. ......Yeah, Season 1

    1. The arsenal of Freedom, fighting against the advanced weapon system
    2. Heart of Glory, the 2 klingons break out of the prison cell and fight against security teams
    3. Conspiracy, best scene EVER: killing Remmick and his head explode (was cut in Germany, only saw it later in internet)

    Roga Danar in The Manhunt. My numero uno choice by miles. Takes ten men and one irate Klingon to subdue that guy in a corridor brawl.

    Riker in the episode where he is on the BoP.

    Brothers
    where Data stitches up Picard and Co into a state of bewildered impotency. Lore does alot of pushin' and shovin' in this one as well.

    I forgot about that one. I agree, good sequence. (The Hunted.)

    Yes, The Hunted that's right. I always get irate when people slate The Manhunt but of course it's me confusing that episode with this one!

    Good call, man. Forgot about that one. The multiple fake out escape he makes is pretty cool too. If I'm not mistaken even pre-personality O'Brien gets in on the action in that one.
