TNG vs DS9 vs VOY

[You_Will_Fail]

I thought it would be interesting to compare comparable episodes (of the same genre or story type) across the 3 series (or more if you want!) and see which you prefer.

For example:

Messing with memory (episodes where memory plays an important part)

Clues vs Equilibrium vs Latent Image
Those would be the 3 finest episodes from each of those 3 series that have memory as their central plot point or theme.
For me its Latent Image > Equilibrium > Clues

Curing an illness

The Quickening > Ethics > Lifesigns

Solving a death/murder

Meld> Necessary Evil > Eye of the Beholder

Holodeck malfunction

Our Man, Bashir > Ship in a Bottle > Bride of Chaotica!

Cruel punishment

Hard Time > Random Thoughts > Justice

Trapped on a primitive/pre-industrial planet

Muse > Thine Ownself > Paradise (can anyone think of a DS9 episodes more along the lines of "Muse" or "Thine Ownself"? Trapped amid a pre-warp civilization. Other episodes like this include "First Contact" and "The Communicator")

Marriage

You are Cordially Invited > Data's Day > Course: Oblivion


I could to this all day, haha. I hope you'll enjoy trying it as well. You can use the categories I thought up and make up your own too!

It's been done. Kinda'.

This thread seems a little easier to get into. Although that thread is definitely worth a read.
Edit- I'm reading it now, I might just waste the next several hours on it, haha, thanks for directing me to it.

 

[The Dominion]

Course: Oblivion was about marriage? Wat?

 

[You_Will_Fail]

Course: Oblivion was about marriage? Wat?

Haha, it featured marriage! The copies of Tom and B'Ellana both got married at the beginning. Also feel free to do your own comparisons. My threads have a habit of dying fast deaths...

Everybody dies

Visionary > Deadlock > Cause and Effect

 

[Saito S]

Show us those skeletons in your closet:
The Pegasus > Dax > Dreadnought

Solving a death/murder

Meld> Necessary Evil > Eye of the Beholder

Hmm, assuming it doesn't HAVE to be the first instance of that plotline in that series, I'd replace "Necessary Evil" with "Field of Fire", and then my order would be
Field of Fire > Meld > Eye of the Beholder

Muse > Thine Ownself > Paradise (can anyone think of a DS9 episodes more along the lines of "Muse" or "Thine Ownself"? Trapped amid a pre-warp civilization. Other episodes like this include "First Contact" and "The Communicator")

Maybe "Battle Lines", kinda?
