Hey, Bosda, do you realize that your signature is in a Times Roman font starting with the word “BARRICADE”? (It only shows up like that on Netscape Navigator, though, so if you’re using MS Internet Explorer it will look “normal.”)
My guess is you have an extra {/b} or {/i} directive just before the word “BARRICADE”.
“The Best of Both Worlds”
“The Survivors”. Actually, it was only the man; the woman was an illusion of his dead wife.
You probably mean “The Way of the Warrior”.
“Family”. Also the only TNG with no scenes on the bridge.
“Chain of Command” (a two-parter).
“Frame of Mind”.
“Cause and Effect”.
“Warhead”.
“Déjà Q”.
“Children of Time”.
“The Visitor”. Has been voted the best Trek ever.
“The Magnificent Ferengi.”
Umm… Well, it wasn’t the first episode with the Romulans (“The Neutral Zone”), I don’t think.
“Far Beyond the Stars”. He reprised it in
“Q Who”.
“Hollow Pursuits”.
“Where No One Has Gone Before”.
“Little Green Men.”
“Whispers”.
“Blink of an Eye”. Not to be confused with “Wink of an Eye” (TOS).
“The Thaw.” Also featured a pink guillotine.
(trots humbly off to accept the geek award)
Anyway.
My fave series was DS9 - the only one to have a story that lasted more than two episodes. The only one where they could get away with doing things like ten-episode arcs.
I liked most of DS9. Let me put my little plug in for “Rejoined” - the one where Jadzia is almost ostracized from Trill society for falling in love with the current host of Torias Dax’s wife. Although I am a little bit annoyed that every time they have something even the least little bit queer in the entire universe, it’s an alien. Feh.
They’ve also had some excellent comedy episodes, including “Trials and Tribble-ations,” “In the Cards” (Jake hunts for a baseball card and gets embroiled in intrigue), and “Who Mourns for Morn?”
Oh, and “Far Beyond the Stars” and “The Visitor” are the best Trek episodes ever released. Thank you.
But I was rather disappointed with the finale (“What You Leave Behind”). They might have had fewer clips and more wrapping-up of actual storylines. (Who becomes Kai? What happens to Bajor after Winn’s treachery is discovered? Will we ever see a goddamn Breen? And… wasn’t the whole series just written by Benny Russell?)
Of the generally lackluster Voyager, I would like to plug “Before and After,” the one where Kes gets younger as she moves backward in time.
Oh, goddamnit…
…“Shadows and Symbols”.
FYI The episode with the Enterprise and 2 warbirds and the Klingons to the rescue was “The Defector.”
I had always liked DS9 the best at least it’s 4th and 5th. seasons, “Call to Arms” was just about the best season ending of all time. I feel starting with the 6th. season DS9 went way off track with the whole prophets as Gods stuff. Sisko should have regarded the prophets as Picard did with Q. Star Trek should have never fallen into mysticism what was the prophets. When the worm hole aliens became gods to Sisko, is where the series failed IMO. The entire premise of the series was Bajor joining the Federation and the series ended without that major event being mentioned. The deus-ex-machina ending of “Sacrifice of Angles” was another unforgivable sin.
TOS:
The Doomsday Machine
TNG:
The Survivors
Who Watches the Watchers
Starfleet observers are revealed to a primitive race
The Best of Both Worlds
Remember Me
My favourite TNG the crew disappear from Beverly’s point of view
Silicon Avatar
Dr. Marr kills the Crystalline Entity to avenge her son’s death.
Starship Mine
Picard is trapped on the ship alone with hostile terrorists, as a deadly beam slowly sweeps the ship.
Frame of Mind
DS9:
Dramatis Personae
Divisions begin between members of the DS9 crew
Paradise
Sisko and O’Brien land on a world where no technology works, led by the fanatical Alixus
The Assignment
Keiko is possessed bya Pagh wraith, which orders O’Brien to make changes to the station
In The Pale Moonlight
My favourite DS9
VOY:
Voyager is my preferred series, though few agree. I reckon the first 2 series are, in the main, deserving of a lot of the criticism, but that it improved vastly after that.
State of Flux (S1)
Kazon steal Federation technology
Investigations (S2)
Neelix interfers with janeway’s plan to find a traitor by investigating the ‘mysterious’ departure of Tom Paris.
Deadlock (S2)
An all action episode. 2 Voyagers are created and attacked by Vidiians
Future’s End (S3)
My favourite VOY
Voyager crew end up in 1996, after they are told they will cause a disaster in the 29th century. A fantastic 2 parter.
Displaced (S3)
Cliched but I like it anyway. Janeway and co. find themselves on a ship containing holographic biospheres with many other races, and escape.
Scorpion (S3/S4)
Nemesis (S4)
Chakotay finds himself on a planet fightinf for one of 2 warring tribes. The universal translator malfunctions slightly!
Year of Hell (S4)
Random Thoughts (S4)
**B’Elanna is arrested on a telepathic planet for thinking angry thoughts. **
Omega Directive (S4)
Janeway’s screen flashes up ‘OMEGA’, causing a dilemma. Omega Particles could cause a chain reaction which would prevent warp travel in the sector.
Latent Image (S5)
My favourite of Voyager’s less action-filled episodes. The Doctor discovers a gap in his memory, and a 1.5-year-old feedback loop is restarted.
Equinox (S5/S6)
Voyager meets another Federation ship, whose captain has been using less than ethical methods to travel across the quadrant.
Haven’t read all the posts yet but here are my favorites from each series.
TOS: The one with Joan Collins. City on the Edge of Forever?
TNG: The Inner Light. I always get choked up at the end when he realizes what’s going on.
DS9: The one where Jake ages and saves his father as an old man. This one also gets me all choked up. Doesn’t the older Jake also play Worf’s brother and wasn’t he the Candyman?
Don’t really have a favorite for Voyager. I do watch and enjoy the show. I’d be happy just watching Seven walk around the whole hour :eek:
I know of another one, that is (potentially) the worst genre series EVER:
Sheena, starring Gena Lee Nolin (formerly of Baywatch.)
I’m not kidding.
As for the Voyager series…I like the one were they run across the Borg battling Species 4536 (or whatever they called it). (title?)
Phobos: “Scorpion” (I and II). And it’s Species 8472.
I would like to mention that I did all but two of the episode names above from memory.
I don’t care.
thanks
“Species 8472” would make a good username.

When I saw that episode, I couldn’t help thinking of the “Bomb number 20” scene in Dark Star.
(Then again, the “THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS!” episode of TNG was essentially the whole Ministry of Love section from Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four all over again.)
Well, there was an episode of DS9 which had O’Brien on trial in Cardassia that was obviously inspired by Franz Kafka’s The Trial. Then there was the DS9 show inspired by Brigadoon, but I’d rather not talk about that one; it’s DS9’s equivalent to “Spock’s Brain.”
ST fans who have something to say (or not) about Shatner’s acting should visit this wonderfully hilarious site: http://www.hecklers.com/simshatner/. I got a huge kick out of it.
Sci-Fi Channel had a marathon on Labor Day for TOS, which reminded me of many episodes I liked.
TOS: Mirror, Mirror
TOS: Menagerie, 1-2
TOS: The Trouble with Tribbles
TOS: The City on the Edge of Forever
TNG: Best of Both Worlds, 1-2
Unfortunately, I missed pretty much all of DS9, though I’m trying to catch up. Can’t say I like Voyager all too much, though.
