Just about to finish TNG Season 2, I only watched the odd episode on television in the 90's and ST: Enterprise is the only complete series I have binged.

So I saw Measure of a Man which was great, in addition to that one, what episodes should I look forward to?

Season 3 is where it starts getting good. Who watches the watchers, booby trap, Ensigns of command, yesterday's enterprise, captains holiday, the most toys, sarek, I mean seriously season three is fantastic. Your gonna love it.

Season 3 is your reward for having to sit through Shades of Gray.

Yeah, we don't talk about that episode... Lol

[–] Basilisk@mtgzone.com 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'd watch Shades of Grey a dozen times over on repeat before wanting to watch Code of Honor.

I'll be honest, it's not tng but ds:9... I love "move along home" and I know it's one of "those episodes".

[–] Basilisk@mtgzone.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Move Along Home" is objectively pretty not great, but I have to admit I really like it too. I appreciate what they were trying to do with it and they just never really got there. It's a plot that I've cribbed for running D&D games in the past when player are unable to make a session. The party gets trapped in the game and the missing player/s is/are the one who's on the outside trying to get them free.

[–] howdy@thesimplecorner.org 2 points 1 year ago

Your one of the only others that have agreed with me. You nailed the plot. I'm a dm, and I never thought of that!!! I don't know why I like it so much. It's like you said, not a good episode. Lol. I would like to see more of the wadi though.

Booby trap and Yesterday's enterprise are truly where 3 graduates, plus BoBW obviously.

But I actually liked Sins of the Father, it completely rewrote the concept of Klingons, this is the episode that took them from "evil alien stand-in antagonists" to "race with actual character traits and motivations beyond 'KILL!'".

Tin Man too, and the Defector, they both added the Romulans in with more flavor, S3 was actually Romulan heavy even if they weren't onscreen for most of their action (The Enemy had one on screen but not... doing anything).
