Episodes you haven't seen or have no memory of.

Well there episode of TOS season three and ENT season two which seem like a blur, but that might be the lobotomy I needed afterwards.

When those season's I mentioned got dull or downright bad, I just focussed on other things at the time and my memory is spotty. TAS is the only series I haven't attempted to watch all the way through (I think I made it two thirds of the way?)
 
There's episodes of all the shows except the Original and Animated series I just haven't got around to seeing yet, I admit. But of episodes I know I've seen and just consistently fail to remember anything about, Next Generation's ``Allegiance'' is top of the charts. I don't think it's a bad episode, as best my notes suggest. It just doesn't stick in my mind in the slightest.
 
By Any Other Name
That was the very first episode I ever saw.

I haven't seen most of Enterprise. There might be an episode or two of DS9 I missed; I could take it or leave it after it turned into the "Worf and Jadzia Show."

I've seen all of TOS, TAS, TNG, and Voyager.
 
Just wanted to clarify in case somebody made this mistake: I have seen it, I was telling the poster above me the title of the episode they were describing.
 
This is the first time I've ever heard DS9 referred to that way.
Let's just say that I never liked Jadzia, and had a low tolerance for Klingon politics and "honor-this/honor-that, etc.".

Bad enough that this happened in TNG, but it continued in DS9, and one reason why I really enjoy Voyager is because they did NOT find a way to shoehorn Worf into it.
 
I, for one, love Jadzia! Absolutely adore her. But having Worf join the show was a mistake. Klingon episodes have always been tedious, with their bullshit made-up language, sniffing, howling and snarling about honour at the first whiff of an opportunity. And with Worf onboard station, the Klingons came in force, show after show. I mean ... how much is too much? You know? Cast Michael Dorn, if you must, but why as Worf? He should've played a Bajoran, maybe ... but Worf's involvement was not a plus for me.
 
I would have liked to see Ensign Garrovick become a semi-regular (Like a Ro Laren or TNG Miles O'Brien). I always liked the dynamic between Kirk and him, and one of the weakest elements of "Obsession" was the convenience of Garrovick showing up in that episode and never being seen again.
 
I thought I'd seen all voyager, but I've just watched virtuoso for the first time. I don't understand how it escaped me but there it is. I thought it was a nice doctor episode without a tedious B story.
 
There's a lot of Star Trek and Season 6-7 DS9 episodes I don't remember much of mainly because I haven't seen those seasons of DS9 in a long long time and for Star Trek they just weren't memorable. Episodes like Change of Heart and Honor Among Thieves from DS9 I don't remember much of, and a lot of Season 3 of Star Trek I don't remember like Whom Gods Destroy or That Which Survives.
 
I thought I had a good memory when it came to TNG but recenty I watched The Hunted and The High Ground again. I have no memory of either of these episodes apart from The High Ground being banned on the BBC when it first came out.

I know I've seen them both but The Hunted genuinely surprised me.

Why was The High Ground banned?

(I have trouble matching episode titles to episodes in most of the TNG and DS9 series)

Because of the reference to the troubles in Northern Ireland at the time. It was thought a little inappropriate for us in the UK
 
It would have been broadcast on the 15th January 1992. There was a line spoken by Data that suggested that the IRA terrorists (who only 2 days earlier had killed an innocent person (Michael Logue), and had blown up bombs in the UK on 10 different days the previous month) would eventually get what they wanted through force.

On top of just that line, the depiction of the bombing of the cafe at the start was a little too close to home for those who were affected by terrorism on a daily basis (a month earlier several bombs went off in a shopping centre in Manchester for example)

The close of the episode had a bit of hope for the end of the cycle of violence, but who could have imagined back then that barely a year later, after two little boys were murdered in Warrington, that the father of one of them would devote his life to peace, paving the way for the good friday agreement and a peace treaty within a decade of that episode.
 
I haven't watched much of either Voyager or Enterprise. I hit them up on Netflix now & then, just to see some Trek I've never seen before, but In all the time it's been available there, I've still not seen the finales for either (I have heard that I'm not missing out on much as far as Enterprise is concerned
 
I would argue you're not missing out on much as far as the VOY finale is concerned either, but YMMV.
 
For years I'd somehow missed DS9's "The Visitor", repeatedly, since I'd been through DS9 more than once and seen lots of reruns. A nice surprise, since it's a good candidate for best episode.
 
Most Enterprise episodes. There are only a few that I can call my favorites and the rest kinda blend together.
 
I have seen every episode at least once for all the series when they were broadcast but sometimes a post on this board will mention a particular show and I will just draw a blank. I just cannot recall anything about it so I will go home and stream it from Netflix. Occasionally rewatching will bring everything back but sometimes it will be like watching it for the first time. This tends to happen with DS-9 and Voyager episodes most of the time.
 
I've seen them all - with one exception: I refuse to watch "Profit And Lace" from DS9. I didn't see it on its original run, and have made no effort to watch it in home video.
