What's your TNG guilty pleasure?

Mine is Genesis. It's a retarded premise, but it's so much fun to watch. Barclay as a spider, Worf as a giant angry thing, Picard as a surrender monkey - genius!


Ditto to everything you just wrote! ('Cept I don't feel guilty about liking it!)
 
A lot of the early S1 episodes like The Last Outpost and Lonely Among Us would rank among mine. I also like the whole of S7 a lot more than most people, ditto Generations.
 
Wow of all the ones listed I think the only ones I really don't like are Genesis and Night Terrors. The rest are all pretty good in my book
 
I don't think I feel guilty for watching any STNG episode. I usually have a pretty good reason for liking particular episodes even if others do not.

RAMA
 
Generations is another one for me. The only thing I really hated was the portrayal of Captain Harriman as an idiot (on the Federation flagship? Please!), and the fact that the 1701-B was the only Federation ship within light-years of Earth.
 
Definitely Haven, and any other Lwaxana Troi episode...besides Dark Page. And the "he's only sixty" one.

Also "Devil's Due."

"Sub Rosa" is on my list, too.
 
Masks

Everyone seems to hate this one but I love it. So weird, but gave Spiner some great acting.
 
Eh. Not to me he didn't. It was overdone and hammy. His Dr. Okin in Independence Day was more refined.
 
I think it kinda had to be exaggerated. That episode really seemed to be written for the humor. :)

I think that overall it was badly received because it was something of an uncomfortable mockery of deities and so on. At least, as far as I could tell, because I was somewhat uncomfortable with that episode. Oh well, I did love it anyways because of Brent Spiner's "hammy, shameless, and overdone" performance. :p
 
I can't take any guilty pleasure in "Genesis"... it was just so bad, such a farce on science... it even makes "Spock's Brain" look good... and that's no easy feat. ;)
