    The thread title is a bit confusing to me because I don't remember pondering this question, as I remember it, TNG has always been the winner. :)

    That's six of one, half dozen of the other, isn't it?

    This is a point I keep coming back to. I love long-form story telling, but I can also appreciate episodic stuff.

    If we're discussing which one we prefer, then your feelings about episodic story telling are going to play a large role. But if we are talking about which series was better, it makes no more sense to criticize TNG for being episodic than it does to criticize DS9 for being more long form.
