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!

  • You can't forget TNG 5x2 Darmok. I wish the universal translator didn't work seamlessly all the time.

    • It certainly was an intriguing concept, it would be interesting if there were more episodes like that. Something along the lines of the movie Arrival maybe.

    • One of my favorites. Essence of Trek, I think.

  • 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.
