TNG: The Emissary, streamed on Netflix.
The Worf and K'Ehleyr story was great, and we get to see a nice old movie-era D7. Apparently the Feds and the Klingons were "at war" some 75 years before the events of this episode took place.

I'm not posting in the Discovery Forum (I suspect getting into all the debates and arguments would be a full-time job and I simply don't have the time, patience, or desire for it) but I'm enjoying the series a lot. I don't believe I've said that on the board yet.

DS9 "The Wire" on H&I.
First appearance of Tain. Garak's boss/mentor/Father.
We learn Garak's first name is Elim. Mmmm, blue kanar.
VOY "Future's End, Pt 1" on H&I.
Sarah Silverman before she became annoying.
ENT "Broken Bow, Pt 2" on H&I.
And the first instance of the decon chamber striptease. T'Pol really seemed 'excited' to be there.

Enterprise, Broken Bow. I'd seen it when first aired and noticed a few things that I hadn't before:
1) It's pretty xenophobic and sexist. The former seems to be part of the Archer arc, to show how he gets over his bigotry to become a more open-minded character. All that is done with the subtlety of a sledgehammer and is pretty formulaic and forced.
The sexism, though, seems to exist just to offer a kind of unecessary frat boy mentality to the show. I'm rather appalled by Trip and Mayweather in the first half and Reed in the second, for instance, because they seem more like ogling knuckle-draggers. Sato is treated as something of a histrionic child, and haughty T'Pol is there mostly for the catsuit and to give Archer someone to beat on.
2) Scott Bakula rivals William Shatner for a halting, over-dramatic delivery.
3) Perhaps because of Abrams ST and Discovery, the tech doesn't seem so jarringly out of place as it did 15 years ago. I remember watching the show and thinking it looked more advanced than TOS. In a lot of ways, it still does, but that's less to do with the tech and more to do with the modern Trek aesthetic.
4) While the writing seems to recycle a lot of what we've experienced before in Trek from the 1980s on, it's a better pilot than, say, Encounter at Farpoint. Still, since H & I shows three or four Trek episodes in a row, each from a different series, the similarities to other post-TOS Treks is more obvious than not.
5) The Temporal Cold War plot is completely unnecessary for the goings on of the story. Nothing dependent on time travel couldn't have been accomplished just by having spies and such in the current time period.

Truly enjoyed that one!!

TNG-Code of Honor. "A code of honor protects one like a magic cloak". So says Lutan. Yet he brushed off Yareena's life, assuming he could keep her wealth and land even if she died in the combat challenge of supercedence with Lt. Yar. When Dr. Crusher revived her, Yareena made Hagon her first and Lutan lost everything. Hence Hagon can tell Picard, "You may excel in technology but not in civilized behavior."
DS9 "Crossover" on H&I.
The first appearance of the Mirror Universe in DS9. Along with Intendant Kira as Boss Skank
VOY "Future's End, Pt 2" on H&I.
You'd think that the design of the photon torpedo launcher would precluded someone from actually crawling inside it to manually launch a torpedo.
