I find Rascals cringe, but Ro's bits are the best part. Similarly, Genesis makes me really uncomfortable, but I love the opening scene and human Barclay giving spider. I feel like Preemptive Strike is really well done and a good send-off for a character who deserved more screen time. It gives a much more sympathetic view of the Maquis than DS9 does, even if Picard does end up with egg on his face. Realm of Fear is my favorite Barclay episode. We really get to see his progress here.

Overall, I like all the TNG episodes that both are in. My overwhelming favorite of Broccoli's has to be Nth Degree. His performance is great, but the episode on it's own is a really fun one with -not sure if this will make sense- a strong "This is literally what we here at Star Trek are all about!" vibe. I like his other episodes too, the transporter one is pretty neat, and Hollow Pursuits is always entertaining.
And that's what differs for me when it comes to Ro. She's great, and she's in some great episodes, but her episodes just aren't as "fun." Not a criticism, I don't think the intent was for her to be a "fun" character...but when I'm looking for some good TNG vibes her episodes aren't what I scroll to.

Not gonna lie, I like "Rascals." It's enjoyably stupid.

I thought this was going to be a post about what it would be like if Ro and Barkley were in the same episode. Ro would clearly eat Broccoli for breakfast. 🥦
Best Barkley episode is clearly Nth Degree. His Voyager episodes aren't terrible either.
All of Ro's episodes are good. She's an excellent actor.

Maybe it’s not a “Barclay episode” like the others are, but Ship in a Bottle is better than Nth Degree. He’s in it enough for me to consider it one.

What would Ro Broccoli farts smell like?

Ro is one of my favorite characters.
Barclay is like some nerds I stuck up for back in school. I'll stick up for you against the bullies...but , eh, I don't want to be your friend.

Ro because she’s at least normal.
