TNG halte ich ganz eindeutig für den besten Star Trek Ableger. Da könnte ich mir auch mal wieder die besten Folgen anschauen. Einige der besten wurden genannt, hier noch ein paar meiner Lieblinge (copy & paste von imdb):
Season 5, Episode 25: The Inner Light
Original Air Date—30 May 1992
Picard awakes to find himself living in a small village where he is a well-known member of the community who is suffering from a delusion of being a starship captain.
--- Klasse Idee, super Umsetzung.
Season 6, Episode 21: Frame of Mind
Original Air Date—1 May 1993
Riker begins to question reality when he finds himself in an alien insane asylum and faces the prospect his life on the Enterprise has been a delusion.
--- Verwirrend, kapiert man erst nach dem zweiten oder dritten Anschauen.
Season 7, Episode 25: All Good Things...
Original Air Date—21 May 1994
Capt. Picard finds himself shifting continually into the past, future and present and must use that to discover a threat to humanity's existence.
--- Fulminantes Serienfinale
Season 2, Episode 16: Q Who?
Original Air Date—6 May 1989
Q tries to prove that Picard needs him as part of their crew by hurling the Enterprise 7,000 light years away where they encounter the Borg for the first time.
--- erste Begegnung mit den Borg und dann noch mit Q, was will man mehr
Season 6, Episode 15: Tapestry
Original Air Date—13 February 1993
Captain Picard incurs serious wounds in a fight, even his artificial heart is gravely damaged. While Dr. Crusher wrestles with the medical consequences, his mind meets Q, who presents him to a parade of people who fell victim to Picard's actions and neglects, from his father and fellow cadets to himself, and offers him the possibility to have a 'second chance' without causing disaster by upsetting time. After Picard's initial refusal claim to have no regrets, Q forces him to acknowledge he made stupid mistakes and fix at least the adolescent one that got him stabbed and slapped in the face as an Academy graduate, or die and by stuck with Q for eternity. His error had been to help fellow Ensign Corey return the cheating at a pool game to a Naussicaan, a strong, badly tempered race, while ruining a friendship by having an affair. This time he stops Corey fighting and dying, but is deemed a coward, losing both's friendship, and returned to the Enterprise an an inconspicuous Junior Grade in an alternative present, no longer a daring action officer in command but a safe, boring analyst, without serious career prospects. Will Q allow him to revert to his risky self, or is it all a sickbed illusion?

Season 4, Episode 15: First Contact
Original Air Date—16 February 1991
Commander William Riker has been on an acculturation mission under an alias for months on the Arkonian planet, surgically altered to appear like a local, but he gets badly wounded, beyond their medical skills because his internal organs are unknown to them. Captain Jean-Luc Picard decides to speed up his official diplomatic approach, formally the First Contact, and intercede on Riker's behalf, but they are told by a fascinated open-minded Atkonian scientist that her planet's culture is particularly xenophobic so they reject any alien being as being unequal to them. The Arkonian government keeps the matter secret but is internally divided: while the chancellor Durken is in favor of Riker's release without the people finding out and establishing friendly relations with the Federation, his powerful security minister Krola is prepared to go to any length to preserve their traditional way of life, so he finds Riker and fakes his own murder....
--- Gleiches Thema wie "Der Aufstand", nur eben besser als der Film
Bin zu faul jetzt weiter zu suchen. Fast alle Folgen mit Zeitreisen und eigentlich auch alle mit Q sind klasse. Langweilig find ich alle Folgen um Worf und dem klingonischen "Die With Honor" Krempel. Zuviel Manowar gehört, die Jungs. Es gibt eine Folge, in der Worf irgendwie von einem Wettkampf kommt und dann in Paralleluniversen umherspringt, das war dann auch die einzige sehenswerte.
Alle Folgen mit und um Wesley Crusher müssen aus sämtlichen Filmarchiven und allen DVDs gebannt werden. Für den Burschen gibt es nur eine Lösung:
