lizbee: A sketch of myself (Default)
How do you choose just one TNG episode, that's what I want to know. Here's a handful that I love:
  • "Conspiracy" -- yes, it's dark; yes, it's violent; yes, Roddenberry and Berman both hated it -- and for all these reasons, it has aged really well. But I loved it when I was a kid, too, so I dunno, I think I just like evil conspiracies, gross bugs and elderly admirals dropping Riker with a roundhouse kick
  • "The Best of Both Worlds (part 1)" -- I realise this is the Trekkie equivalent of being a middle class white woman who loves pumpkin spice lattes, but whatevs. (I also love pumpkin spice lattes.) The rising tension, the conflict between Riker and Shelby, the shock of the cliffhanger: AMAZING.
  • "Ensign Ro" -- for me, this is the perfect TNG episode. It's one I recommend with no caveats whatsoever.
  • "Rascals" -- this is not a good episode, but it's one that I often put on when I need something entertaining and low-stress. "He's my number one dad!" is a permanent part of my vocab.
  • A non-obvious choice -- "Future Imperfect". I realised on my last rewatch that I actually really like Riker? Once the writers figure out how to make him masculine without being toxic, he's a lot of fun, especially in the semi-annual "make Riker think he's losing his mind" episode. And I love flash forwards and Romulans, so this one's a good time.
