What are your favorite episodes of Star Trek?

We've had quite a lot of Star Trek produced over the years! The last I had seen we're well over 900 episodes and counting. There have definitely been a lot of episodes that weren't that good, but we've also had quite a few episodes that are pretty great! What are your favorites?

I always have issues with narrowing things down, but these are the episodes that immediately spring to mind:

  • DS9 1x19 Duet
  • DS9 2x22 The Wire
  • DS9 7x10 It's Only a Paper Moon
  • TOS 2x06 The Doomsday Machine
  • TNG 3x03 The Survivors

After writing down those episodes and thinking about it a bit more, I also thought of these as well:

  • DS9 4x19 Hard Time
  • TNG 3x23 Sarek
  • DS9 6x19 In the Pale Moonlight
  • TOS 1x14 Balance of Terror
  • TNG 2x09 The Measure of a Man
  • DS9 4x02 The Visitor
  • TNG 4x02 Family

There are certainly more I haven't thought of so the list changes sometimes, but it's at least the list of the episodes that I remember most!

  • I found "The Enemy" to be a wonderful episode. I liked the egg LaForge and Bachra became something like friends. Also, I have a soft spot for the Romulans. Beautiful ships, and we share a tendency to lurk.

    My only disappointment with the whole episode was Picard not taking the opportunity to thank Bachra for helping save Geordie.

    • I do remember that being a good episode. I like the Romulan ships too, the D'deridex is my favorite non Starfleet ship.

      • Probably my favorite ship in any universe, from the outside at least. Galaxy class my second.

        • I've always been partial to the Constitution, preferably the TOS but also the SNW version. The Ambassador is another, and I also like the Crossfield other than the spinning saucer and ultra long naceles!

          • I've always been partial to the Miranda, as well.

            • That is a good ship! They were in service for quite a long time, I'm assuming with major systems upgrades like the B-52 has gotten. It's very impressive that the Miranda was in service from the original NCC-1701 clear up to the Enterprise-E at least! Obviously they had no chance of keeping up with the top of the line ships at that point, but in universe they must have been a very solid platform for upgrades.

              • Right, and not every ship needs to be a battleship. Pirate patrol, coast guard, courier, general exploration and poking at things. All incredibly valuable roles that can be handed with sensor and engine upgrades.
