Favorite ALL time episode REGARDLESS of the series?

My favorite is always TNG's "The Royale".

Oddly different choice ( "Odd in context" that I was not expecting that particular one, not disparaging it )

"The Royale" has one heck of a Twilight Zone vibe to it. I would rank it among TNG's best.

Now that I view it with that in mind I can almost hear a Rod Serling VO starting in my head

LDS: "The Stars At Night"

I have loved just about every Lower Decks episode. I think that it was the slightly irrelevant take on the ST Universe that made it SO enjoyable to watch.

"Far Beyond the Stars"

Many great episodes, but it stands out.

This is a particular favorite of mine from DS9

TNG The Offspring. Touching episode and also the first episode I ever watched, which got me addicted to Star Trek when I was eleven.

And just think, no one took the idea of Jonathan Frakes directing seriously. And that episode was his debut.

Balance of Terror

The Way of the Warrior is for me the finest installment of the franchise. It is like a best of compilation of everything that makes Star Trek great. It has top tier drama, humour, heart, space battles and ground battles all rolled into one. The continuation of TNG threads in addition to the stories within DS9 make the whole universe feel interwoven and like everything matters.

Was on way to basically say the same. It had me in every scene, every moment. Nothing dulled it down, it was directed and edited perfectly. I already loved DS9 before, but it made me fall in love all over again. I should rewatch it today.

That's totally cool, I'm used to people being all "huh???" when I name "The Royale" as my favorite episode. Although I AM pleased to notice that more and more people seem to appreciate the episode these days! It is quirky and funny and yet also quite creepy and sad at the same time. I love that combination.

It's actually kind of refreshing, someone making an unconventional choice. My favorite episode might be a conventional choice, but my least favorite is one that most people seem OK with.

Mine was The Doomsday Machine when I was 7 (1st run syndication in Los Angeles CA)
