What is the best TNG episode and why is it Parallells

It's parallels

>>80464966
It's Tapestry, I would also accept Inner Light.

>>80465044
Inner Light is a cliched choice

Tin man.

I also really like 'the quality of life' and 'frame of mind'

>>80466984
Measure of a Man is up there as well

I like the Barclay episodes because they give the most exposition about the technology in the ST universe.

Like the transport phobia one where we learn about transporters.

>>80467729
Isn't Barclay supposed to be a representation of the average Trek nerd

DS9 was better than TNG

>>80468224
DS9 had better storylines but TNG had a much better cast. Kira is an unlikable bitch, Bashir is literally autistic for the vast majority of the series, it becomes painfully obvious Colm Meany hates playing O'Brien like 3 seasons in and Avery Brooks has the acting range of a sheet of paper.

Jesus Christ, I just saw this episode the other day and it was almost comical how bad it was. It feels like every time there have been too many good episodes in a row they have to throw in a retarded Wesley episode to balance things out.

>>80468430
Maybe but 90% of his emotional range in DS9 was "Barely restrained contempt/anger". And when he was needed to show actual emotion we got...well...

I'm in the middle of Season 2 of DS9, SOMEHOW. I've heard it gets better like season 4-ish? But it's had so many boring episodes so far. I prefer Voyager at this point. Voyager is silly, sure, but more entertaining so far.

The Hunted for watching Worf get pwned by future solid snake.

They really should have made her regular character for a few episodes before killing her off. There was so much potential with her.

>>80475694
It was a very refreshing change from the usual formula and had the most characterization of any Trek series. Hell, Worf got more character in three seasons of DS9 than he got in 7 seasons and 4 movies of TNG.

>>80476012
The show didn't need two Datas.

>>80476071
fair enough

>>80469639
Recently rewatched TNG after I got a decent home stereo for the first time in years, and I never noticed the fantastic synth score they had in the first 3 seasons.
So much better than the generic orchestral bullshit in the rest of the series.

>>80475694
I prefer to think of it as more of a space opera set in the trek universe. I liked seeing the focus set on the fringe of the federation, and non federation characters.
But there's plenty of solid trek that happens through the series.

Jelico was a terrible Captain. Immediately turning everything upside down for the sake of it and fucking up routine for a temporary command is an awful idea

Had to make the crew ready for a possible confrontation with the Cardassians, especially if the black-ops mission went awry (which it did).

Worf

>>80482340
He hates Parallels because he feels like the fact there are a zillion parallel universe that all as valid as the "prime" universe makes it feel like nothing that happens matters.

He also hates the Dominion war in general because he thinks it makes the starships seem too weak and expendable.

>>80482539
The episode where Lwaxanna gets kidnapped by the Ferengi is kino, the scene at the end with Picard awkwardly quoting Shakespeare is one of the funniest moments of the show.
