I will get the ball rolling by giving a point to "Suspicions". At least it gave Beverly something more to do than just her usual role, despite the improbability of the whole scenario.

I'll give one to The Host, for introducing the Trill and giving Beverly a spotlight.

I will give a point to Suspicions -- I don't mind this one, I enjoy the lineup of alien scientist guests. Also, it gets extra sentiment points for being the last appearance of Guinan on the series.

A point for Naked Now, I like it for the continuity with the original show, and the space orgies.

[Balok's Decoy]

A point for Birthright Part II. I love this episode. I think all of the stories involving Worf's complicated and shifting relationship with his Klingon heritage and the Empire are fascinating. A great arc and this is a fine episode in that arc.

The Outrageous Okona. One of TNG's funniest comedy episodes, and you get to see Lois Lane on Star Trek.

Edit: nevermind

 

[tharpdevenport]

Fixed.

 

[BigDaveX]

Suspcions. Some decent character stuff for Crusher, and the part with Jo'Bril getting a massive hole blown in his torso and treating it as nothing more than a mild annoyance is just crazy enough to be awesome.

[JirinPanthosa]

Final point for Suspicions. An average episode in a sea of suckness. Has plenty of small positives. I like Guinan’s role in the ep, I like having Ferengi and Klingon scientists.

I vote for Galaxy's Child, I liked Leah as a character, the episode was fine even with Geordie acting like a tool.

I'll give my next point to Birthright, Part II. While the character work with Worf had been done better before and after this story, it's not too bad an episode overall.

[Xhiandra]

Wow, Birthright was chosen for part 2? I really like that episode! Actual pathos, character development for Worf, an interesting conundrum,... I have trouble separating the parts, though? Is part II just the more bland part?

At any rate, it gets my point.

[Ghost of Christmas Future]

Part 1 has the B story about Data's dreams.

 

[tharpdevenport]

A quick look over seems to suggest some people aren't carrying over points below four.

A quick look over seems to suggest some people aren't carrying over points below four.

They aren't supposed to.

When an episode reaches 4 points, it is eliminated. Then a NEW round begins (in this thread) with the numbers restored to 0.

Oh hey, while I'm here: a point for "Menage a Troi," because Picard's speech at the end was a hysterical bit of improv.

[Sakonna]

I'll give my point this round to The Naked Now... really, the big sin of this episode was it's airdate, it's a terrible choice for the second episode. If you placed it in the back half of the year, it would be a perfectly good season one outing.

I will give "Menage a Troi" a point this round. That last bit with Picard was hilarious, and always makes me laugh.
