Good list, startrekwatcher. However, you are free to list the two-parters as one episodes. Yes, it might be a stretch, but I'm fine with it, so... Go ahead if you want to add more episodes.

Thats meant for all, btw.

Each season favourite is bolded. I know I pick some odd choices compared to most people, but I sometimes like the slower, slice-of-life pieces.

S1:

Where No-One has Gone Before
Datalore
11001001
Home Soil
Arsenal of Freedom
Symbiosis

S2:

Where Silence Has Lease
A Matter of Honour
Time Squared
Q Who
Samaritan Snare
Peak Performance

S3:

Survivors
Booby Trap
The Defector
Deja Q
Yesterday's Enterprise
Sarek

S4:

Best of Both Worlds (so I cheated to get another ep into the S3 list )
Remember Me
Future Imperfect
Data's Day
Night Terrors
The Nth Degree

S5:

Darmok
Silicon Avatar
Disaster
Conundrum
Ethics
Cause and Effect

S6 (really struggled narrowing down this one, lots of good eps):

Realm of Fear
Schisms
Chain of Command
Tapestry
Lessons
The Chase

S7 (by comparison, I struggled to fill the quota here):

Attached
Parallels
The Pegasus
Lower Decks
Genesis
All Good Things


Top 5 across the entire series. Again, I know this is highly controversial, but these are the ones I enjoy rewatching the most:

5. Arsenal of Freedom (S1)
4. Samaritan Snare (S2)
3. Peak Performance (S2)
2. Q Who (S2)
1. Remember Me (S4)

Surprisingly, this has been a hard list for me, cause I left out "Yesterday's Enterprise" out of my top 5, when it had always figured in there in the past. I suppose that recent marathon changed my mind.

 

[GalaxyX]

Well I'm too lazy to think of top 5 episodes per season, but I'll tell you my top 5 favorites of the series:

1. Where no one has gone before.
2. We'll always have Paris
3. Who watches the watchers
4. Remember Me
5. Nth Degree.

I could probably make a list of 20 top favorites, but those 5 are the ones I never get bored of watching.
