What's your TNG guilty pleasure?

I don't see how he could have made any friends with that futuristic "bowl-cut" hair-do he had in the episode "The First Duty". Come on, that shit went out of style in the early 90's.

Well it was in the early 90's and Trek has a tendency to use hairsyles from the era of the show so it would make since for the lame bowl cut. :lol:
 
And, this gal:

Yes! Actually nothing guilty about it and I wished she'd a: gotten more to do and b: been in Nemesis.

What? She's Trill, she's cute, and seemed to have a good head on her shoulders. That's enough for me! :devil:
 
^ That picture always intrigues me. I can never quite figure out what her expression means. If I was still writing fanfic maybe I'd have come up with a story around that moment.
 
A Fistful of Datas was an awful episode but I watch it to watch a lot of Data anyway. :D

Oh, I beg to differ. In fact, I think it's one of the best episodes of season 6. I can understand criticizing it for going back to the 'holodeck goes haywire' well again, but the writing and performances in it are lovely and Patrick Stewart did a hell of a job directing it.

It's a slight, comedic episode, but I also think it's one of the best showcases for Worf's endearing qualities and while comedy in Star Trek (especially TNG) tends to be cheesy, I thought it worked perfectly in this one. Brent Spiner and Michael Dorn give excellent performances in it too, shining despite the ridiculousness going on around them.

I think "Genesis" and "Frame of Mind" are pretty stupid and absurd, but I find them entertaining in a campy way. TNG isn't something I would normally compare to camp but the acting and plot in those episodes is shockingly over-the-top for such a generally serious show.

Off-topic: where's that picture from?

Really? Remember that it comes right after Riker told her to not be such a wuss about the nebula, and that he's going to shove the whatever gas "right down the Son'A's thoats." I see that look and all I can think is "the moment we're both off duty, I'm gonna demand you f*** my brains out."

Offhand, I can't think of a more erotic moment in all of Trek.
 
The Naked Now. It's so TOSsy. :D

I also have a small crush on Wesley Crusher, so whenever he's being annoying, it doesn't really bother me. :P
 
I guess this one might be annoying to others...

"Rascals." Star Trek meets Home Alone. :D The roles of Harry and Marv are now played by a bunch of Ferengi.

Hahahaha. I wish the young Picard would have done the signature Macauly Culkin scream with his hands on his face when he realized he was no longer a grown man.
 
Devils Due. Sure it's bad but I love. I like when she gets her comeuppance.more fun then melodrama like Ethics and Half a Life

Also like Where Silence has Lease. Though really slow pace actually benefits this ep that tackled themes such as infinity, and death. I can't take my eyes off it once it is on.
 
"Yesterday's Enterprise":vulcan:

How can you feel guilty about liking the show's best episode??

And I HATE that term!!

(no guilt, just pleasure)This thread just gave me another place to state it as my favorite episode. Agree, I also think "Yesterday's Enterprise" is the best NG episode. On a different thread that I created, I asked if it should have been used as the idea for the GENERATIONS 1994 movie but with the 1701-B(Kirk on aboard) encountering the 1701-D(Picard on board). http://www.trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=136320

Fair enough.:bolian:

But I still think the term "guilty pleasure" is an oxymoron.
 
I don't think "Yesterday's Enterprise" is really all that great. Richard Castillo is such a douche bag I get irritated every time I watch it.
