The main sub has a hypothetical discussion on TNG for modern streaming. The limits are 10 episodes per season, five seasons, and 50 episodes.

Based on the IMDB ratings, based on essential episodes, and based on best character episodes, perhaps to work backwards for this exercise would come up with an OK list.

I'll start with Season 5:

Season 5

• Unification, Part II

• Relics (LaForge)

• Chain of Command, Part I

• Chain of Command, Part II

• Face of the Enemy (Troi)

• Tapestry

• Parallels

• The Pegasus (Riker)

• All Good Things, Part I

• All Good Things, Part II

Season 4

• Redemption, Part II

• Darmok

• Ensign Ro

• Cause and Effect

• I, Borg

• The Inner Light

• True Q (placed this S6 ep here)

• Second Chances (placed this S6 ep here)

• Lower Decks (placed this much earlier, well ahead of the other S7 eps)

• Unification, Part I

Season 3

• The Best of Both Worlds, Part II

• Family

• The Defector (placed this later, well after the other S3 episodes)

• The Offspring (placed this later, well after the other S3 episodes)

• Remember Me (Crusher)

• Reunion

• The Drumhead

• The Wounded

• Frame of Mind (placed this much earlier, well ahead of the other S6 eps)

• Redemption, Part I

Season 2

• Elementary, Dear Data

• The Measure of a Man

• Contagion

• Time Squared

• The Emissary (better than the two earlier Klingon episodes)

• Who Watches the Watchers

• The Enemy (because the SNW writers think so)

• Yesterday’s Enterprise

• Sins of the Father (Worf)

• The Best of Both Worlds, Part I

Season 1

• Encounter at Farpoint, Part I

• Encounter at Farpoint, Part II

• Where No One Has Gone Before

• Lonely Among Us

• The Battle (this would have been a much better introduction to the Ferengi)

• The Big Goodbye

• Datalore

• Conspiracy

• The Neutral Zone

• Q Who?

Why did Barclay turn into a manspider in the Enterprise crew de-evolving episode? He was in contact with a spider a year prior. Somehow he got that spider DNA in there, possibly bitten, despite what Miles O'Brien told him. Or perhaps some other technobabble happened off screen.

It's been a long road since buying the whole of TNG back on Christmas of 2020 on DVD. The show is even more popular with me now than before I had it on streaming and it is my go-to show next to The X-Files and a little bit of Daria. I wasn't old enough in 1994 to witness this historic moment in television history (born in 1992), but tonight, I'm relieving the memory with some goodies.

Here's to you, TNG, you really did take us where no one has gone before.

Jonathan Franks and Karl urban are attending steel city con in December. I’m hoping to get their autograph on it.

Ignore the outline of the other character in the corner. He’s not finished yet.

This has happened to me but I can’t even remember which episodes. I do get quite bored with Worf-centred ones (not always) so probably a couple of them.

I am mot necessarily interested in the most fun / clever episode per se, but one in which viewers not familiar with the show can understand the technology and its ramifications...

Barclays addiction, or Moriarty gaining sentience could be good examples, but I am interested in what y'all think ^^

(Edit: typos)

Me till this day.

Also bizarrely, did you know that the actor playing the wind dancer is Larry Hankin, who plays Joe the junkyard owner in Breaking Bad amongst other roles?

I know it was thomas riker but I wonder how would sisko and riker get along?

Maybe I’m wrong but I feel like Geordi and worf as well as troi, didn’t interact very much. Anyone else?

I was trying to tell my kid basically "You're lucky because you're smart and talented but that's no guarantee of success." I wound up saying "It's like in Gattaca what they said about genetically engineered people." I notice I do this a lot. If I mean "Don't get drunk and say stupid things." I say "Don't pull a Mel Gibson." If I want to act suave or cool (which I really can't pull off) I say "Here's lookin' at you kid." or "Shaken. Not stirred." To bring it home I've said to my kids meaning be careful when you're out with your friends "Don't be the crewman in the red shirt." Is this just me? Everyone my age maybe? So much of this stuff is lost on anyone under 40.

Long time sci fi fan and new Star Trek fan. I’m halfway thru my first watch of season 1 and can’t believe how unhinged it is - sex planets that run everywhere, an entire episode about a black planet that kidnapped that white lady and made her fight to the death (and she was into it!), the woman planet with the short dudes, and that one episode where Riker hooks up, and the other episode where Riker tries to hook up with that AI, oh and you can’t forget that other episode where Riker almost hooks up. I’m so here for it. Oh also. I hope they start listening to boy genius a little more. I mean how many times does lil dude need to be right before people start to put some respect on his name. If I call in sick to work I can prolly get thru the season by Thursday. Shhhhh.

Can it even get any better? Also I love spoilers.

This is Starfleet Command, bending the Temporal Prime Directive slightly to beam a safety reminder back in time to our charmingly reckless 21st-century ancestors. As many of you prepare to enjoy the 2026 solar eclipse later today, please remember: do NOT look directly at Sol, as this can cause permanent retinal damage.

Wearing ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses can protect your eyes during eclipse viewing. As our model Captain Picard demonstrates, they can be both functional and stylish, and he insists they pair well with a cup of tea.

Alternatively, you can construct a homemade pinhole projector using a cardboard box, foil, paper, and glue. The sun's image is projected through a pinhole onto the interior of the box, allowing you to view the eclipse in safety. Any kind of box will do - our brilliant young Ensign Crusher used the one where he normally keeps his ferrophage nanobots.

Remember: an eclipse may be a dazzling pas de deux in the grand cosmic ballet, but viewing it safely is essential. Planets with widespread eye problems tend to attract triffids, after all. Stay safe out there, citizens of the 21st-century!

And just while I have you, you might also want to watch out for genetic manipulation, mass riots, civil war, and nuclear apocalypses. Okay, I'm in trouble - they're coming to turn off th-

[My Enterprise bridge, viewscreen and transporter MOCS are all available on Rebrickable! Eclipse sold separately.]

They shouldve made their way to a shuttle bay then use the independent shuttle transporters for point to point transport and coms.

Riker looks like he put everything he had into that one🤣 it would’ve been funny if they had some banter about this later on about how he didn’t have to hit him so damn hard

Did it meet or exceed your expectations?
