My favorite Star Trek episodes...

Star Trek: TNG: The Best of Both Worlds
I think my favorite episode is probably everyone's favorite...when the Borg abduct Picard. Enough said...everyone knows this episode.

Star Trek: DS9: Little Green Men
This would would have to be a when Quark and family go back in time to earth and create the whole "Roswell" incident. I laughed my butt off for most the episode.

Star Trek: Voyager: Resolutions
The episode I chose if my "what could have been" episode. This is when Chakotay and Janeway contract some rare virus with no cure. However, they can survive if they live on a planet that somehows supresses the virus. This causes a dilemma for the crew since they will have leave Chakotay and Janeway behind while they try to search for a way back to Earth. What I liked best is how Chakotay and Janeway start to build a home together and maybe even a future together...possibly romantic. However, Voyager finds a cure and we will never know what could have been.

Star Trek: Enterprise: Regeneration
Hmm...this series was so short...but I'm gonna have to say the Borg episode. You know...kind of a carry over from the Star Trek: TNG movie (First Contact). In this episode, the Enterprise crew find remenants of the fight between the ST:TNG and Borg from First Contact...of course, the Borg reactivate and try to dial their home but the Enterprise crew was able stop them.

Ok, dont hate me for not knowing the specific episodes:

Some of my fav's are:

STNG, where Data creates Lol, his "daughter". I was SO upset when they killed her off. It would have been really really nice to have an android family on the Enterprise!

On a similar note.......
STVoyager, where Seven is involved in some sort of transporter accident and some of her nanites fuse with the Dr.s mobile emitter and create her Borg offspring. And then they kill him off. I REALLY hate it when they do this crap.

Anything pretty much where Brent Spiner played any and all "faces" of Dr. Soong or Lore. I love Brent Spiner!

Another STNG episode I like a lot is where they discover "pieces" of a puzzle that point toward the explanation of all life forms in the Universe.

The only other episode I can think of that really sticks out in my mind, is where Lwaxana Troi is engaged to get married to a guy (Ogden Stiers I think his name is) who isnt allowed to live past 50 (or something like that). I think I went thru half a box of tissue watching that one.

I forgot about the episode with Lol. That was a really good one. I also liked the episode where Spiner played Data, Dr. Soong, and Lore. I liked the way Data took over the Enterprise to get to the planet Dr. Soong was on.

Now that I think about it...Star Trek was big on killing off really good potential new characters.

Brent Spiner does rock...what did you guys think when Data got his "emotion" chip? Did it make the character better or worse?

I thought it was a good idea for the first Next Generation movie. It would have been a bad idea for him to use it in the series, because in the series his character is all about his struggle to become human.
