Top and Bottom 5 Episodes of Star Trek: Next Generation, Seasons 1-3
What I Did This Week:
Wesley: What I Done Dooded
- Bought Green Day’s Insomniac
- Good. I remember a lot of the music from the radio.
- Watched Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
- Fantastic.
- Watched the start of Game of Thrones
- Again. In prep for season 3 that starts at the end of March.
- Watched The Amazing Spider Man
- Watched Sherlock Holmes A Game Of Shadows.
- Good. Maybe not quite as good as the original, but very much in the same vein.
- I enjoyed the one-on-one with Moriarty.
- Played FTL
- I’m doing youtube videos.
- First 2 series:
- Kestrel
- Nesasio

- Block Story
- Xmas Party
- Amazing Spider man
Top 5 – #5:
Wesley: Worst: S1E14 – Angel One
- Planet with the opposite problem Earth has had for so long: Women are sexist and men are submissive.
- Until Riker comes along.
Jeffrey: Bottom – The Royale
- A casino for a trapped astronaut – I could work.
Wesley: Best: S3E14 – A Matter of Perspective
- Riker is accused of murder, and they recreate the crime on the holodeck, from everybody’s point of view.
Jeffrey: Top – When the bough breaks
- Cloaked planet tries to steal the enterprise kids
Top 5 – #4:
Jeffrey: Bottom – Skin of Evil
- Ep #23 – Yar bites it – and so does the episode.
Wesley: Worst: S2E10 – The Dauphin
- Wesley gets a girlfriend.
- If only her ward – a crotchety old lady who turns into a laughable alien monster – liked him as much as she did.
Jeffrey: Top – Sins of the father
- Worf on trial
Wesley: Best: S3E17 – Sins Of The Father
- Worf must defend his family’s honor, and Picard helps him.
Top 5 – #3:
Jeffrey: Bottom – Conspiracy
- Where the hell did these space bugs come from? Why?
Wesley: Worst: S1E08 – Justice
- Another Wesley episode. This time he turns down SEX and instead suggests BASEBALL. This is not a crime on this world, but it should be considering that while playing baseball he falls in a bush which is apparently punishable by DEATH.
- The moral? Always accept an offer of sex.
Jeffrey: Top – Booby Trap
- Geordi falls in holodeck love
Wesley: Best: S3E13 – Deja Q
- Q is stripped of powers, and the Enterprise crew must fix something he broke.
Top 5 – #2:
Wesley: Worst: S2E22 – Shades of Gray
- Doctor Polaski’s swan song, in which she tries to cure Riker of a convenient virus that causes him to have flashbacks to previous episodes, so the producers and writers could continue their strike talks.
Jeffrey: Bottom – The Child
- Deanna gets preggers.
Wesley: Best: S3E15 – Yesterday’s Enterprise
- I loved all the enterprises and crews.
Jeffrey: Top – The best of both worlds pt 1
- Borg headed for earth
Top 5 – #1:
Jeffrey: Bottom – Shades of Gray
- Riker’s not so greatest hits
Wesley: Worst: S2E04 – The Outrageous Okona
- Horrible A story: A roguish space captain woos all the women on the Enterprise, and then we save him from not just one, but two planets’ police ships.
- Even worse B story: Joe Piscipo teaches Data how to be the single worst comedian ever in the history of anything.
Jeffrey: Top – The Measure of a man
- Data’s trial.
Wesley: Best: S2E09 – The Measure of a Man
- Data on trial.

- 34 A matter of honor
* Tasha Yar didn’t really ‘choose to leave’, as I recall, she was kicked off for teh nude pictures, or some other lame scandal. Then they brought her back, because they felt bad for doing that. I liked her better as a Romulan, but I never really watched the show as much.
* I think I watched the first season and kinda gave up on it. This would become some what of a tradition, I didn’t really get hooked on any of the next-gen shows, until Deep Space Nine came along. That one hooked me.
* Still haven’t managed to beat the helicopter attack on Saint Rows teh third. I suck at it. I do like flying about on the broomstick though.
* I liked the second Sherlock Holmes movie. I will once again recommend the BBCs ‘Sherlock’. Their take on Moriarty is teh shit! Also, Watson is totally Bilbo from The Hobbit movie(s).
* For some reason I know that, but didn’t say it on the show. I haven’t heard it yet so can’t comment on that in particular.
* I did the same, except didn’t watch DS9. I picked it up in the last couple seasons of Voyager and was impressed.
* I do not recall a broomstick, or is that the name of (or did you name it) the hoverbike? That is fun, but I much prefer the VTOL jet.
* I will once again say that it’s on the list. Along with 30 other shows.
I guess if we ain’t getting the Stargate show this week Trek is a more than adequate substitute:) I would have a problem with the topic this week, no way I could pick just 5 bad episodes out of so many that were forgettable, five good ones could also be a problem come to think of it:)
Well if you’re waiting for the Stargate show I’ve got good news for you. Due to the Superbowl this Sunday we’re not recording, and so instead you’re getting the Stargate shows this weekend and next!
Then after that we’ll do our Valentine’s day show and something else. If anybody’s sent emails or voice mails, we’ll read/play them at that time.
