The Inner Light
I don't really know what to say about it. It's touching, well acted and just hits all the right spots.

Q is kind of vile when you think about it. With his powers he could intervene and make the galaxy a better place. He doesn't. I take his teleportation power, his ability to disable phaser weapons, transwarp, causing supernovas (if they do it by accident they can probably do it deliberately) all at face value. It's no trick. With that kind of power he could stop say the Borg.

The only excuse Q might have is if the rest of the Q would disable him if he tried to help like the Ascended can't interfere in mortals in SG. But Q was gallavanting around the galaxy for so long and it took so long for the continuum to catch him, instead of playing games he could have done something productive. Like say teleport in and kill a Hitler or Pol Pot, kill the Borg Queen and so on. I would have liked the stupid Voyager subplot to be instead of Janeway child to be Q finally deciding to break all the Q rules or seizing some Q power, helping mortals, then a Q civil war between the humanists and the xenophobes with Q leading the humanist side. Yes I know it's not technically humanist, but you know what I mean.

Yesterday's Enterprise and Best of both worlds. I still wish we got to see Wolf-359 though.

You do in the pilot episode of DS9 in Emissary. Unfortunately, it's a big let down.

Yeah, you just see the generic ships they used over and over again. None of the special models they used for the graveyard scene in TNG

Best of Both Worlds is one of the few episodes I would still watch today. Whilst seeing every episode on many occasions over the years makes watching them now very tedious, I would still go out of my way to watch this two-parter. Epic and very entertaining, with a nice twist at the end.

I dunno, they had an Ambassador and a Nebula pulling some pretty tight manuevers for that scene.

In an interview one of the producers said that was to that date the biggest and most expensive battle they had done on television - what we saw was probably the most they could have done, especially given that they were still using motion control photography with models.

As for my favorite TNG episode, I have to concur with someone else and say The Defector.

My favorites are Yesterdays Enterprise and Best of Both Worlds, part one. Part two was good also, but part one was frickin' awesome.

Yesterdats Enterprise
Best of Both Worlds
All Good Things
Q Who (one of the best introductions of a villian ever, and the Enterprise is soundly defeated)

Those episodes or double episodes were really good. Some argue that BOBW was a letdown, but even still there was tension up until the very end. The battle scenes were exciting, something that was nearly a first in TNG.

My favorite is First Contact. I just like the idea of showing off a starship to a modern planet, and observing the reactions of the natives.

Masks
The Measure of a Man
The Chase
Time's Arrow 1 & 2
Captain's Holiday
Qpid

Those are all I can think of at the moment. I know there were more that I enjoyed, I just can't remember all seven seasons off the top of my head.

...

Ok, now I'm going to have to watch all of them as soon as school ends.
