I was reading this list and after I calmed my rage (Because real fans would have a top 47…) I became curious to hear what other episodes might make a personal list.
You don’t need to give a detailed rationale, I’m curious to know what episodes NOT on the linked list do you just kinda… Think Are Neat 🫴🥔?
I’ll start with some of mine:
- TOS - The Cloud Minders
- TNG - Timescape
- DS9 - The Magnificent Ferengi (how this one is not on the list I have no idea)
They’re just neat!
Star Trek: Voyager – Repentance. Season 7 episode 12.
Basically because is an allegory to the positivist school in criminology, the idea of the criminal is someone who can be “cured” is interesting, but of course, not everybody get and that people misunderstood ALL the episode.
Is one of my favorites and IMDB is rated as rank 86.
I was sure I check it before said episode 13, I don’t know why I put 12…
Whatever, I edit the message to fix only that.
I really liked VOY: “One Small Step” (s06e08) wherein the crew work to salvage the wreckage of an ancient Earth probe from a dark matter asteroid
It’s a nice acknowledgement of the reality that space is fucking dangerous, and of the bravery of the men and women who shot themselves into it with little more than a few layers of metal and their wits to protect themselves. All this in the name of advancing science and exploration.
It closes with Seven reading a eulogy for the centuries-dead astronaut who died diverting all power to the sensors so that knowledge would be preserved.
Great example! I had forgotten that one. I guess that’s a sign it’s time for a Voyager rewatch.
I’m a sucker for day-in-the-life episodes so the first ones that come to mind are:
- TNG S04E11 “Data’s Day”
- TNG S07E15 “Lower Decks”
Then there’s the disaster episodes:
- TNG S05E05 “Disaster”
- TNG S05E18 “Cause and Effect”
In the same vein as TNG “Disaster”, I’m really fond of DS9 “Starship Down”.
