The best episodes of STNG

Too many to choose from, I'm a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, and even the weakest seasons of episodes I enjoy. So I'll just say all of the above... except for Sub Rosa and Masks.
 
I don't know if these are best but these are episodes I'd want to rewatch. Not in any particular order except me thinking of them
Parallels
The Pegasus
Yesterday's Enterprise
The Best of Both Worlds 1 and 2
Family
The Survivors
The Next Phase
Ship in a Bottle
Timescape
Phantasms
 
If I stop and think about it too long I'll change my mind so I'm quickly going to nominate 'Family' as my favourite episode. Jeremy Kemp and Patrick Stewart bring me to tears every time. Bless 'em.
 
There isn't that much comedy, but like a lot of classic ST episodes, there is a good mix of drama and lightness.

The ending makes the episode. As I watched it the first time, I was kind of disappointed that all the alien groups were so disappointed by the massive in-universe discovery..then the final scene happened..pure Star Trek. I loved it. Possibly one of the 5 best Trek episode codas.

RAMA

I would've given more tension to the conclusion of The Chase.

Less semi-comedic bickering, more anxiety that they where going to blow each out of the sky. Alot of the sixth and seven season episodes where like that, weak on creating that urgency at the climax of the episode. But The Chase episode was a fine concept, very Trek.
