DS9: "Duet"
I'd never seen this one before.
The music is the first of so many wonderful things that sets this series as being far superior to TNG.
Another is the multi-layered plot, whose only predictable twist is made unpredictable as a result (sorry, no spoilers).
The scripting has never been more exquisite for any DS9 episode, much less any other in Trek as far as I'm concerned.
If not most shows in general.
And the acting... nothing upon nothing tops this episode as well.
Rarely do I weep while watching television. This had the waterworks turned on, several times, increasingly so.
Okay, one spoiler (it's a big one despite being over such a small scene, so I implore you not to click):
I screamed "No!!!!!", even long before Kira had.That's just how damn great and compelling this episode was, true to Trek's ideals while providing so many facets of so many levels.
Forget hyped episodes like "The Visitor", those just pale to albino dust in comparison to a genuine, bona fide all time great of television.
10/10.
With ease.
Its one of the TOS episodes I enjoy watching even tough in universe it makes little sense. Starfleet has an ingellignce division so why use Kirk and co, ordinary soldiers for espionage, better still they have a planet full of Vulcans with their own spy organisation who can inflitrate the ship.I watched "The Enterprise Incident" yesterday. One of my favorites of the 3rd season---though I have noticed each time I watch it, it loses a bit of its luster. If I recall I believe one of the novels indicated the mission was secretly arranged by Section 31--an interesting plot point as it is something I could see Section 31 arranging.
