The least disliked episode of TNG - Final Round

Damn Tapestry was so close! Voting tapestry again (gee I'm so original)

My two favorite episodes, plus one in my top ten, plus one in my top twenty. And The Drumhead, a solid B episode.

The Drumhead... Simon's fake ears offend me.

I eliminated the last episode of season 4 to make The Drumhead the winner, but of the remaining episodes, it's the weakest. Eliminated.

I start the new round with a vote for Tapestry. Of the episodes, I feel it was the weakest. I wish we got more of the "bizarro" present where Picard is a mere ensign. I wish that were an entire episode.

All four are TNG masterpieces. As exciting and plot moving as Q Who is, I never felt any strong connection to it.
 
The Defector. Once again, it's a great episode, it just doesn't measure up to the others.

I see what you're saying, I'll add another vote for Q Who?

Measure Of A Man is in my top 20, but all the other options are top 10.

My vote goes for "The Measure of a Man" - how could Starfleet in its right mind even think about dismantling Data? To me, the premise flies in the face of everything Star Trek is about - however, so do all the issues concerning the rights of holo-citizens, including the Doctor of Voyager.
 
I vote Tapestry. Because I hate it and because the others are genuinely better. Q Who isn't a masterpiece but it's the better if the two Q episodes and introduces the Borg which have brought some pretty good episodes. Measure of a man is just genius genius genius. It's got some of the best writing in all of Star Trek. The Defector is a watchable episode with an good plot and it brings an interesting character. Tapestry doesn't bring anything new (just more flashy Q stuff), I guess it might have a few lines of good writing but not a lot and I just don't find it as watchable.

I voted for it last time, and nothings changed "Tapestry". It's shocking it's lasted this long far better episodes have been eliminated

Measure of a Man, for previously mentioned reasons. I still like it though.
 
I'll eliminate Tapestry. It's the weakest episode left. It's not even the best Q episode.

I'll vote for The Defector for the new round. Q Who and The Measure of a Man have a much more lasting impact on the series.

Got to be "The Defector", the other two are classic episodes

The Defector takes a point as it is a good Romulan episode but nowhere near the awesomeness that was Q Who or the suburb philosophy of The Measure of a Man.

Woo hooooo!! Three great episodes left now :)
Point to Q Who because as much as it's very watchable, that's more because the Borg are rather than the episode has an amazing plot.

Q Who, I've given reasons all the times I've voted for it before. They still apply.

Your wish is my command. ;) The Defector isn't as good as the other two. Also, it introduced the 4-footer, shoving the majestic 6-footer into storage, only to be used two more times. Darn you, Defector!

Final round! Tough choice.... but I'm going with Measure of a Man. Q Who? later served as a stepping stone for TNG to step out of the shadow of TOS for good. Plus I like the Borg back when they were still an actual hive mind.
