As fun as these guys are when they're talking about bad movies, short-subject videos or Modern Trek, them getting into talking good about something is fun. Particularly when it's Rich and Mike talking Star Trek: TNG.
Red Letter Media: Best TNG Episodes

Thanks for sharing that, they really know their stuff!
I used to like these guys back in the day, but now I just find them... grating.
Some of their videos are meh, others are great. Plinkett was gross at times but they knew the fine line between absurdist humor and just being sick.
I saw the video in another thread and won't repeat what I said*, but FWIW here are my top 5 - at least for this hour, and in reverse-order since the ordered list one counts upward and not downward**:
Honorable mentions: CONTAGION, POWER PLAY, THE NEXT PHASE, EVOLUTION, THE PEGASUS
* waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Very hard to choose, there's too many I love and found to be a favorite.
1. The Measure of A Man
2. Tapestry
3. All Good Things...
4. Q Who
5. Drumhead
But these are not my favorite nor top five... well maybe my top 5 for this week.
Nice to see their opinions on TNG considering what they've said about other Trek over the years. I don't always agree with them but I'm glad they're still making videos. IDIC.
As to my top 5. Yesterday's Enterprise, Parallels, The Next Phase, Cause and Effect and The Pegasus probably (Frame of Mind could be there too). There's a whole lot I've never seen yet. YE I watched in whole a couple of times this year and the final battle maybe ten times this year. The Probert Enterprise-C is the only Eaglemoss ship I have so far. That's probably my favourite hands down.

Another good piece from them, seeing Mike and Rich talk about Star Trek is always fun and here them doing it on a show they like is great.
Part2 was even better. No way is ‘disaster’ in many people’s top 5. But Mike’s passion for it is great and he argues for it so well. They both did, and Who Watches the Watchers....it’s the most underrated episode ever in my opinion.
Listening to why these guys love TNG is inspirational. And it makes me long once more for this sort of Star Trek. Have heard some good things about Lower Decks, so fingers crossed.

So, I have to watch their video to see their list of top episodes? Pass.
i have the other eaglemoss enterprises A–E and the reliant from TWoK. but the enterprise-C is my favorite. such a great design and the size of the model really does it justice.
absolutely.
mike and rich have always been clear that they adore pre-jabrams trek. and mike is harsh on the TNG movies, but with completely good reason. they're mostly terrible.
yes! made my week.
that's the thing for me too. the passion, and they, particularly mike, argue it so well. great observations on "disaster" and especially "best of both worlds" noting that the riker plot is actually the A story and the borg and picard are the B story.
