I was a huge fan in the 90’s, and I’ve seen most episodes several times, but can you recommend 1 episode tonight to reignite my interest please.

I was at a convention not long before this episode aired. One of the guests was Eric Stillwell who was a production assistant on TNG. He donated a part of the model they blew up to the charity auction. I don't remember how much it went for but can imagine the winner watching and excitedly pointing at the screen exclaiming "there goes my part!!"

majin_melmo@reddit

One of the best episodes for sure. And a Frakes directed episode 😎

[-]

TheRealCBlazer@reddit

I'm so happy to see this and so many other replies suggesting Cause and Effect. It might be my favorite.

[-]

impeesa75@reddit (OP)

Is this one where they want to kill Wesley?

[-]

notaprogrammer@reddit

It's the one where the Enterprise is stuck in a time loop. And I don’t remember an episode where someone wanted to kill Wesley?!?

That summer was brutal... I remember theorizing with my friends about what was going to happen the next season

[-]

jopperjawZ@reddit

I actually like to watch Part 1 at the beginning of summer and then Part 2 at the beginning of autumn. I do the same with the Who Shot Mr. Burns? 2-parter

A werewolf! One of the funniest lines in TNG. Almost as funny as I did not play with toys. I was never a boy.

My vote for a great TNG episode is Worf killing Duras.

"Reunion".

"Peak Performance" is pure competence porn, with some great moments of humor.

[-]

nymion@reddit

"Guile."

Along with A Matter of Honor my favorite episodes. Season 2 rightfully gets a lot of derision. But also has some of the absolute best classic trek

[-]

Unhappy-Eye-6483@reddit

Measure of a Man... Picard in full oratory flow and its glorious

[-]

vteezy99@reddit

I think if I could watch an episode right now or it’d be Disaster. Just seeing the Crew do their stuff when faced with, uh, disaster, is pretty damn cool

[-]

Who_is_homer@reddit

“You may now give birth”

[-]

vteezy99@reddit

Yup. I love all those character moments with the officers out of their element. Picard stuck in an elevator with kids, Worf helping Keiko give birth, LaForge getting pressured to be in Crushers play.

[-]

twoneedlez@reddit

“The simulation was nothing like this. That delivery was well orderly.”

[-]

FoxtrotSierraTango@reddit

And then a few years later:

Quark: Did you hear, Keiko’s gonna have another baby.

Worf: Now?

Razzmatazz_11235@reddit

The Inner Light One of my personal faves. Beautiful acting by Sir Pat.

[-]

One of the best, certainly.

"Lessons" makes for a great follow-up.

[-]

All of the above. But I’ll show the 7th season some love and say Parallels.

The Pegasus.

Somehow I missed this episode when it first aired in 1994. Was rewatching TNG twenty years later and was surprised when a "new" episode from season 7 was on TV. 😄

I still think about his rhetorical twist where he doesn't demonstrate that Data meets Maddox's 3rd quality of personhood, but rather proves the first two and then asks Maddox what it would mean if he met the 3rd one!

[-]

bbbourb@reddit

The Measure of a Man

[-]

Quillford@reddit

Every time I feel like rewatching TNG, I start with this one. It’s perfect sci-fi.

[-]

Ch3llick@reddit

When I watched this Episode on my first watchthrough of TNG, I knew that one is going to be one of the top 3 episodes for me, even if it was just in Season 2.

[-]

"Well there it sits. Waiting."

[-]

bantasaurusbab@reddit

My favourite 💛

[-]

CinephileRich@reddit

The Royale

[-]

DancesWH@reddit

Darmok has always been my favourite

[-]

ThrustersToFull@reddit

The Wounded.

A very underrated episode which lays the ground work for Deep Space Nine.

Also epic finishing remarks to his Cardassian opponent by Picard.

[-]

whatzsit@reddit

Ensigns of Command

Data story where he’s stuck on a planet with stubborn primitive earth people’s. B story of Picard trying to negotiate with an incomprehensible alien race and find a diplomatic solution to their problems.

Cheesy and fun and everything I love about TNG. Data even gets a kiss!

[-]

xander0387@reddit

Also has epic Troi cameltoe when she beams over with Picard to the Sheliak ship

[-]

pawogub@reddit

That was one of my favorite episodes as a kid. I always liked Data episodes a lot.

[-]

LaxBedroom@reddit

And some of the most adorable late 80s / early 90s conspicuous post-production ADR dialogue overdubbing for the leader of the stubborn colonists.

Season 4, episode 5. "Remember Me." It is a fun mystery that will keep you on your toes.

[-]

I love this one too

[-]

Two of my favorites are “Clues” from Season 4 and “Deja Q” from season 3.

We got my 9yo hooked with Starship Mine, followed by Cause and Effect and The Pegasus.

Worked way too well. I never thought I’d ever utter the words “can we stop talking Star Trek now and focus a bit on real life” but it happened.

Q Who

[-]

According_Sound_8225@reddit

Honestly my favorite episode of TNG.

[-]

RobertWF_47@reddit

Tin Man is one of my favorites that is often overlooked. A high stakes race with the Romulans that keeps you watching, mystery and wonder, plus really cool effects. And throw in some over the top acting with the Tam Elbrun character. 😅

[-]

Homer_Jr@reddit

The Defector

[-]

Physical-Name4836@reddit

Honestly…to really bring you back into the fold I strongly recommend

We’ll always have Paris. It’s the episode the changed what TV was for me and ignited my love of the trek. I liked trek before that thanks to “where no one has gone before”

But we’ll always have Paris is absolutely the game changer
