The Loss vs. Disaster vs. Rascals

I like them all but Disaster is probably my favorite. I liked how Picard handled the kids, enjoyed Crusher and LaForge working together, Worf as the midwife and the sparks on the bridge with Troi in charge. I also loved seeing the Ent-D exterior all darkened.
What interesting (by which I mean really weird) choices.
I'm sure interesting and weird here refer to brilliant and magnificent.
Disaster probably, even though I liked Rascals as well and could tolerate The Loss.
Counselor Troi was extremely annoying in "The Loss". The Ferengi take over Enterprise way too easily in "Rascals". I pick "Disaster".
Disaster
Troi had an amazing storyline going on in The Loss. She really had to look herself in a mirror and grow as a person. Brilliant writing. And because I prefer episodes with space anomalies and/or new strange aliens of the week, there was that aspect in the episode as well. And Guinan. So what's not to love?
I almost voted for The Loss since I feel it's underrated, but in the end had to vote for Disaster as it's one of my favorite episodes.
I'm going to have to agree with all the people who said Disaster. I love seeing situations where the characters are forced out of their comfort zones. Troi was superb on the bridge when she pulled rank on Ro.
No doubt ... DISASTER 
I like everything about it ... I like worf having to act like a nurse/midwife ... I like picard being forced to deal with children. I liked Troi FINALLY being in a leader role and having to be tough for once. I really liked the scene where Geordi and Crusher blew out the cargo bay and in a vacuum with no air scramble for the controls to reactivate the force field and get that plasma fire out. I especially liked Data stopping the arc of electricity then Riker having to carry his head to engineering to hook him up to the ship's computer.

Disaster. But Rascals is a guilty pleasure for me.
Disaster, definitely since it's the only one of these I actually like.
"The Loss" was just another annoying Troi ep.
"Rascals" is one of those fracking stupid ideas that I don't see HOW got into season 6 considering that it's a pretty good season all-in all.
"Disaster" was actually really interesting, providing something for every character to do and interesting dilemmas throughout different parts of the ship instead of just sticking all the senior staff on the bridge. The stuff with Worf and Keiko was great, too. My only beef with it is that either Ro or O'Brien should've taken command on the bridge since Troi was obviously an incompetent ninny.

I went with Rascals. I thought the kid actors did a really good job at impersonating the characters they were playing. I also thought the Ferengi as comic relief worked better in this episode than most.

Disaster.
I have a soft spot for Rascals though. It's just dumb fun.
