Well.. now that we've had five incarnations of Trek, we can make a true top five list. That is, pick one episode from each Trek series to compile an all-around "Trek Top Five Episodes".
Here's mine:
TOS- Mirror, Mirror
TNG- Yesterday's Enterprise
DS9- Duet
VOY- Unimatrix Zero 1&2
ENT- Dear Doctor
Now, I know Enterprise is pretty young.. but still.. what are your Top Five?

In the spirit of avoiding the obvious favorites, these are the episodes that pleasantly surprised me as well as genuinely entertained me:
TOS: Space Seed(Khan Noonian Singh! Need I say more?)
TNG: Tapestry(Picard's mispent youth scene especially)
DS9: Emmisary(the best telepathic aliens story I've ever seen)
VOY: Scorpion(excellent Chakotay/Janeway interchange)
ENT: Shadows of P'Jem(most effective use of the primary characters, so far...)

Alright. I'll try some lesser known episodes (or at least not obvious ones)
TOS - Balance of Terror (just to keep away from the obviously great COTEOF)
TNG - Brothers (Seeing Picard break down with his brother over the assimilation is grand, that and Spiner, Spiner, Spiner)
DS9 - His Way (That Kira/Odo kiss is forever in my heart)
VOY - Eye of the Needle (Just very good. Plus we got to meet a Romulan we liked.)
ENT - Dear Doctor (What can we say. By far the best of the series so far.)

^^^Excellent choices, UT! But correct me if I'm wrong. Didn't Picard reunite with his brother and have the touching emotional breakdown in "Homecoming?"
That was a great episode as well, especially since we also got to meet Worf's adopted parents.

HomeWARD was the episode in the 7th season when Worf's borther transported that preward civilization to the holodeck to trick Picard into help relocate them.
(edit) HomeCOMING was the DS9 season 2 opening.
BTW, it's fun to watch DS9 season 1. Dax and Kira are so YOUNG, Terry Ferrell sounds like a little girl, and Kira has the very young cuteness that grew to womanly beauty 7 yeas later (as did Dax))
Off topic though..

^^^Then which episode was it that took place after "The Best of Both Worlds PartII?" That was the one I was talking about, where we get to see the Roshenkos and the Picards.

^ Calm down... You're meant to be presenting a good image to the rest of us...  ^ Still, I cannot pick a top five... I have a few episodes per series that I consider to be 'the best', and they can change at any time... |

NO!!! I didn't mean to do it!! (screams a Peter Lore like character from the stand at Raymond Burr) I was mistaken! I took my knowledge for granted!! I combined 2 episodes into 1! NOOOOO!!!  I thought it went like this: "Alright! I did it! I did it and I'm glad, do you hear, GLAD!!!!"or: "...and I would have gotten away with it too if it weren't for those nosy kids!!!"LOL! Please let me know when acting becomes your vocation instead of your advocation. I want a front-row seat at every performance.  In case you were wondering, that was a sincere compliment. |

You know, I've never understood what people see in The Inner Light. From my perspective it's about five minutes of Star Trek and forty minutes of a bad Columbo episode. ;D |

I think that's WHAT people like about it.
We get to see a man put into a position when all known is gone, yet he still strives to be as much as he can. To be as GOOD as he can.

^^^ Yadda yadda. Minimal tech, less technobabble, only stock footage of the ship, just a few seconds of the rest of the crew...this isn't Star Trek, it's some boring PBS docu-drama. (Before you go telling me that Trek isn't about ships and technology, but about exploring the human condition, save it. I'm just feeling contrary today. ) |
