The picture gallery of people posing on Star Base Columbus’ bridge replica is pretty great.
I am going to try to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation
I want to watch Star Trek: The Next Generation because all my friends did/are (nerd pressure) BUT I recognize that, man, it’s a lot to watch and, man, there are some stinkers in there. Also from what I understand, the series as a whole is more episodic in nature. Right? So, because of this, I decided to watch the 25ish best episodes of the series, based on what the INTERNET says. So I Googled “best episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation” and then recorded how the episodes ranked across a number of sources (IMdB and Entertainment Weekly being two, and a couple of fanboyish sites being the other three). I then averaged those scores together and ranked them. I took the top 25, but half of these are two-parters so it might end up being more like 35 or so. Now, presented in viewing/airdate/watching order, are the episodes I plan on watching:
SEASON 2
The Measure of a Man
Q Who?
SEASON 3
Deja Q
Yesterday’s Enterprise
Sins of the Father
Best of Both Worlds
SEASON 4
Reunion
Redemption
SEASON 5
Darmok
Unification
Conundrum
Cause and Effect
I Borg
The Inner Light
Time’s Arrow
SEASON 6
Relics
Chain of Command
Ship in a Bottle
Tapestry
Timescape
Descent
SEASON 7
Parallels
Lower Decks
All Good Things
None from season one, which is about right from what people have told me. Am I missing anything? Are there any season one episodes I have to watch? Note: you will have to reblog this or email me with suggestions, cause you can’t enable replies on tumblrs that aren’t your default.
EDITED TO ADD that I have watched the pilot and the second episode where a virus causes everyone to act drunk and Wesley orders there to be dessert served before and after meals. That second episode inspired this project.
