"Yesterday's Enterprise" - of course explaining that Tasha Yar used to be a full time member of the crew!

Useless fact here - I named one of my cats after her!

Best Of Both Worlds Parts 1 and 2

Im a sucker for All Good Things, the best finale a show ever had, a great time travel story, a real sense of danger, and picard at the end with his crew was just lump in throat inducing

I agree, the finale episode is one of the best pieces of television I can remember, simultaneously invoking the past and giving you a clue to the characters' futures.

I get goosebumps just thinking about Picard being told he was *always* welcome.

Not good with names, however the other episode I always think of is the one after The Best of both Worlds where Picard ends up fighting in the mud with his brother.

It's hard to pick *just one ep* in Star Trek but I really liked the one where Picard was caught in some sort of beam that wouldn't let him go and it put him through an entire lifetime. Know the ep that I mean?? Sorry I don't know the title. At the end, when he's back on the ship, he plays the same tune on the flute (or whatever musical instrument it is) that he was playing while stuck in said beam. Gives me goosebumps.

Inc: I think you mean Family (great scene rather than a great ep for me)

Persephone: I think you mean Inner Light

Just as the expert

As the question calls for just one episode, and All Good Things is 2, I'll discount that and go for TNG's Chain of Command part 2. Stewart at his best, ably assisted by David Warner.

Another vote for "All Good Things"

I remember when I was at University and the "Star Trek Society" (who ran Star Trek nights along the lines of the Nos nights) got a hold of a copy about 2 days after it aired in the USA. I was filled with a tremendous sense of loss and yet promise after seeing that episode. I guess I related to the crew of that enterprise so much more than any of the other Trek crews since.

That was the other one I was thinking of. Such amazing acting (both parts). And when he finally admits to Troi at the end he *could* see what he had been told to see, it almost had me in tears.

'His Way' (DS9). Odo and Kira finally hook up. Ahhh!

DS9: 'In The Pale Moonlight', 'Duet' um... lots of others.

*Demona would add others but is being pestered into going to dinner now*

A tough question, especially when I *know* I haven't seen nearly as much DS9 as I should have done.

Honourable mentions to Yesterday's Enterprise and Ship in a Bottle, but I think I'll have to go for 'Trials and Tribble-ations' from DS9. I know it's silly, but I like it

Ok, then you explain the Klingon foreheads

I have so many favourites, it's ridiculous... On the condition of something to show someone who doesn't know what they're missing, I think I would have to plump for "Yesterday's Enterprise". It's well written, got good special effects, a battle, a scientific anomaly and some good character work - and even the time travel makes sense!
