Your favourite feature length/multiple part episodes?

Star Trek stories that take longer than 45 minutes are often very memorable, even if it's only because they take longer to sit through than a normal episode in some cases, and therefore it's very easy to have an opinion on them. So which ones are your favourites?

I realise not everyone will agree with my choice of stories to include in the poll, as DS9 and Enterprise often blur the line between normal episodes and multi-part ones. I also included the movies, because they're extra-length Star Trek stories after all. You can vote for as many or few as you like. As for why All Good Things... is placed at the bottom: I forgot to include it, and when I thought of it at the end it would have been a lot of work to get it in the right spot.

Encounter at Farpoint

Interesting idea for a topic.

It's a cliche to say it, but I did vote for most of the fan favourites. It's hard to deny the quality of something like BOTW or Year Of Hell.

Times Arrow. One of the saddest things I've ever seen.

I picked Best of Both Worlds, but largely because it was the first multi-part episode that really set the bar for these intense episodes. I don't think even The Menagerie or Encounter at Farpoint had near the drama and tension that BOBW did.

Although honestly, there were a LOT of really good multi-episode stories that I really can't remember them all.

Good list. It's so tough because so many of the TNG two-parters started out great but then had lackluster closes.

But here are my favorites:
ENT
Broken Bow
Xindi arc
Augments arc
Klingon ridge arc
Babel arc
Vulcan reformation arc

TOS
Menagerie

TNG
Best of Both Worlds
Unification
Chain of Command
Redemption
Descent

DS9
Emissary
The Circle arc
Improbable Cause/The Die is Cast
The Way of the Warrior
Dominion War arc

VOY
The Year of Hell
Scorpion
Equinox
Dark Frontier
The Killing Game
Unimatrix Zero
