Me neither, sadly he brought that aspect into those dreadful movies. His version of Data in the movies annoyed me dearly. It would've been nice to get a "Like"
The Dauphin is good. I might be in the minority but I quite like most of the Wesley episodes. When the Coming of Age, Bough Breaks, Evolution, The Game, The First Duty are all good.
I love the Wesley episodes, I grew up watching the character grow up and in retrospect I believe the producers made an effort by developing changes with him and he became an extraordinary individual. The Game was one of my favorite Wes episodes it was like Invasion of the Body Snatchers on Star Trek. Good stuff.
No one else likes "The Price”-- ? I enjoy the romance episodes. The sexual attraction is convincing, the ethical questions between Troi and Devinoni Raal are intricate and complex. The Perfect Mate -- another very sensual one no one likes? Famke Janssen with Picard – how far did they go Captain’s Holiday – perfect adventure for Picard’s wannabe archeologist side 11001001- loved Minuet speaking French The Outcast –sad but brilliant oblique exploration of a gay relationship Emissary – the intense holodeck encounter with Worf Family – Picard’s fight/reconciliation with his bro is so satisfying, even if they look totally unrelated Disaster – fun watching Picard learn how to talk to kids Next Phase Starship Mine
All good episodes. I remember thinking how awesome it was K'Ehleyr arriving by probe was in the Emissary. Family was a key character development episode for Picard.
When the Bough Breaks was actually a decent presentation of Wesley because of how grounded he was. He didn't have dizzying time-bending ship-saving power... he was a kid who wanted to go home, and get his friends home. And he came up with a practical way to do it. I don't think it would have worked with a people who were utterly desperate to preserve their own existence, but it was an action that made sense, and that a smart kid could come up with. That episode was pretty third-rate (tweaking the ending would have moved it up to second), but that wasn't on Wes.
When the Bough Breaks is an all around bad episode but I will agree it brings out the best in Wesley, organizing protest against kidnapping. My top ten: Tapestry All Good Things Q Who Best of Both Worlds Chain of Command Frame of Mind Redemption Deja Q Gambit The Pegasus
Ditto for me on Sarek. Mark Lenard was such an amazing actor. It’s a shame we didn’t get to see more of him on Star Trek.
For me it's as follows, 1). The best if both worlds 2) Yesterday's Enterprise 3) Relics 4) Family 5) Clues 6) Disaster 7) The Wounded 8) Timescape 9) The Pegasus 10) All Good Things +a perfect way to wrap up the series even though I hated it at the time). There's just too many great eps here to choose from
1. Best of Both Worlds, pt. 1 2. Best of Both Worlds, pt. 2 3. All Good Things... 4. Yesterday's Enterprise 5. Parallels 6. Inner Light 7. Q Who 8. The Chase 9. Redemption, pt. 1 10. Redemption, pt. 2
Not my favorite, but it was actually an extremely significant episode since it introduced the quadrants
Can't think of ten right now, but here's a few: Cause and Effect (one of the best time paradox episodes) Power Play (cousins to aliens from ENT's 'The Crossing'?) Q Who (best Borg episode) Tapestry (Best Q episode) The Survivors (very sympathetic) Where Silence Has Lease (creepy) Yesterday's Enterprise (one of the best 'what if?' episodes)
Let's see which episodes pop up in my head. Not going to think too long about this. Darmok- if I had to pick a single episode that 'showcases' the values and feel of TNG, this would be it. Trying to build a bridge to other cultures, using reasoning to find the key. Realising you carry your own culture with you and that it has shaped you as well. Best of Both Worlds - pivotal episode that changed the game of Star trek for the next 15 years or so All good things- Awesome finale that in lots of ways illustrates how far the show had come and how characters had changed from early S1 A few that probably would end up in my top 10 but which I'm not entirely certain about Measure of a man - Good episode, but ponderous; takes itself far too seriously in retrospect (and that's disregarding the obvious plotholes to make this setting possible in the first place) The Inner Light - Great episode, but I'm not really sure what it has to do with Star Trek as such (except perhaps for the 'connecting with lost civlizations' part) Beyond that, there's a stiff competition of a rather long list of 'very good' episodes that I can't all put in my top 10.
This is one of those I didn't like back in the day and has grown on me over the years. I think Famke is striking and I like her acting in this one. Is it right to say this one is generally considered by the fanbase to be in the bottom half of episodes? I agree with you that its higher, but I'm not sure how many we have coming with us on that trip. This was the last episode I saw for the first time. It was a Saturday I missed during the original run and despite watching thousands of TNG reruns over the years, just always missed this one. Until Netflix. Yeah, I got to see three TNG eps for the first time Streaming on Netflix. It was a relatively few years ago and it was sad knowing I was watching a "new" TNG episode for the last time ever. This one should get more love than it does. A many lot more. Yeah, all about the mood on this one. It was super creepy as a kid. Haskell's death is Emmy-level shit. That death was hardcore legit. Hell, do they give a Nobel in death scenes? Can the Academy give him a Deathtime Achievement Award?
How to fix this one... 1. Replace Picard with Worf. 2. Triple the number of terrorists. 3. Don't bother with the crisis at the party. Just have a few more Data/Hutch bits. Awww... well, at least it was "Frame of Mind", which I think was pretty good. Hope you liked it. Yeah, i was freaked out by this one in a big way.
Wow, this was difficult! So many good episodes to choose from. I had to pick 10 episodes from each season and then start to narrowing it down. I decided to make it Top 20 since I just couldn't wipe out certain episodes from the list. I did choose the episodes which I for different reasons have watched most during the years. 1 Darmok 2 Conundrum 3 Chain Of Command (part 1 and 2) 4 Ensign Ro 5 The Most Toys 6 Tapestry 7 The Inner Light 8 The Ninth Degree 9 Transfigurations 10 The Vengeance Factor 11 Cause And Effect 12 The Game 13 Datalore 14 The Pegasus 15 Starship Mine 16 The Hunted 17 The High Ground 18 Preemptive Strike 19 The First Duty 20 Masks
Whenever I watch that episode these days, I skip over all of the Ral/Troi kissy kissy and get to the good stuff. Of course, it doesn't help that every time I see Ral I can only think of Lloyd Braun
