I have been on a TNG kick lately as well. I always thought that I have seen every single episode but there are a select few that I have either never seen or that I have only seen maybe half of the episode.

For the OP, yes, season 1 and season 2 can get really corny. I was watching "Time Squared" last night and I had forgotten how weird Worf looks in the first two seasons.. and the corny musical cues.

Take note that the last episode of Season 2, "Shades of Grey" is absolutely the worst episode of TNG ever. It's a stupid flashback show they had to fill the season out with because there was a writer's strike at the time.

Also there are some really corny episodes in the last season, "Masks" and the one with the train to Vertiform City..

But the rest are good to incredible, and even the bad ones are at least watchable - except for "Shades of Grey", that one really is a stinker.

BTW has anyone else noticed that from some weird reason, the syndicated re-runs (comes on Syfy now I think) show Season 2 a LOT? Half the time I'm flipping through the channels and I find a TNG episode, here comes Dr. Pulaski.

While Pulaski was nothing to look at, I liked her character way more than Crusher.

Fav episodes of mine are:
The Wounded
The Inner Light
Cause and Effect
Yesterdays Enterprise
Reunion
The Drumhead

Yesterdays Enterprise would have been my #1 if it was filmed as planned. In the original draft, Wesley is decapitated when his console blows up in his face.

Blasphemy!

I am rewatching TNG and have a new-found appreciation for the first two seasons.

No blasphemy. I just finished up Voyager on Netflix and yeah, it was pretty darn good. Last episodes were rushed it felt, but overall, the series was really really good, which is weird because I always hear people bad mouthing it.

Yesterday's enterprise is an excellent episode.

That's because, while it wasn't that bad in and of itself, it sucked when compared to TNG.

Pulaski was just a McCoy clone they came up with because they weren't sure what to do. She even quoted a lot of McCoy's lines.

Doors don't need locks because everyone is respectful and disciplined.

It should be noted that yes, the doors did have locks. With the exception of common areas like turbolifts, Sickbay, etc. crew quarters were restricted. Any door or even any particular section of the corridors could be restricted by forcefields.

I said they don't need locks . But yeah, they had ways of keeping people out of locations they didn't belong. Another example of what I mean is when the cryo frozen guy used the intercom without permission. The crew was just appalled.

Yes, pics of GF who told you to watch TNG, and was also open to a potential threesome?

Bad qliveur! No cross posting .

She would object to having her picture on here, and I'm not going to disrespect her and do it anyway.

All excellent episodes.

You have a few of my faves there. Some more:

Q Who
Tin Man
already posted but Best Of Both Worlds 1 & 2 is the greatest ever
Qpid
Relics
The Pegasus

many more excellent episodes as well, too many to list.

And I've got nothing against Dr. Pulaski, there are some great episodes from season 2. I just feel like I've seen all of the season 2 episodes 10 times already. Except for Shades Of Grey, that one I'll turn off.

Yeah, they had door locks. I mean, I distinctly remember Riker needing to use security override when he busted in on Barclay's fap session in the holodeck.

Nelix and his over the top whining killed voyager for me.

2nd.

She was the worst captain shown in Star Trek.
It's her fault they got stuck in the Delta Quadrant. In some episodes she's a raging bitch and will spite anyone for anything. she'll be damned if the Prime Directive will stop her. In other episodes she's little Mrs. Perfect (chain smoker) that would rather let her people die than break the Prime Directive.
I hated her Character, and I hated how Voyager somehow was the most powerful non borg ship out there. But even then, The Borg were no real problem for them which is stupid.
Oh let's not forget, that Voyager could take a absolute beating, yet in the next episode it's perfectly fine.

Chacotay should have brought out his tomahawk and split her f'ing head open on the bridge and declared himself the captain.

Agreed. Her inconsistencies mirrored the show's. That she was later promoted to admiral was laughable.

But I think Classy's trolling us.
