Star Trek

1.) CONSPIRACY

2.) THE NEUTRAL ZONE

3.)  THE BIG GOODBYE

Where no one has gone before

Skin of Evil

Conspiracy

others: The Arsenal of Freedom, The Neutral Zone, Datalore, Heart of Glory

I don't really like Where No One Has Gone Before, I find it to be an irritating epsiode. But all opinions are subjective.

It's certainly one of the weirdest TNG episodes how they go to a different galaxy and then to the edge of the universe. I saw it in the theater last year along with "Datalore" at the TNG 25th Anniversary Event.

How about on this board people also post their 3 (I know it's hard to select JUST three bad ones, but we have to be fair here)  WORST TNG season 1 episodes.

Mine are (in no particular order; hate them all the same) :

JUSTICE

LAST OUTPOST*

CODE OF HONOUR

Afterthoughts:  HAVEN, ANGEL ONE and CODE OF HONOUR

*The Ferengi in LO are hilarious - they're are practically alien monkeys jumping about everywhere

worst S1 episodes:

Code of Honor

Haven

Angel One

Here are my picks for the best three (3):

"Encounter at Farpoint"

"11001001"

"We'll Always Have Paris"

Best:

- Conspiracy

- The Neutral Zone

- Symbiosis

Worst:

- Encounter at Farpoint

- Code of Honor

- The Last Outpost

Conspiracy

Heart of Glory

Symbiosis

The Battle

Datalore

Heart of Glory

Best Episodes:

Skin of Evil -- It does a good job of exploring who Armus is. I still don't like the eulogy, however.

Heart of Glory -- Worf's first run-in with Klingons and it's a dark episode, but it establishes who Worf is. 

Symbiosis -- At least it does something intelligent with drug addiction. 

Coming of Age -- A good Wesley episode. 

Worst Episodes:

Justice -- Horrible acting, and everyone just runs around naked. 

Datalore -- Knight Rider did this script better when they introduced KARR, that's how bad it is. Cheesy dialogue and traditional character arcs. Though I did see it in the theater. 

Haven -- It has so much promise, but the scenes in the dining hall are overacted and cringe-worthy. When I need a laugh, I watch Haven. 

When the Bough Breaks -- Of course they want the kids! They beat you over the head with it. It's tedious and the acting from the children is unbearable. 

Perhaps even more than most people realize.  I recently watched The Last Outpost, and noticed that when Portal confronted Riker, the Ferengi changed places with the camera angles.  When Riker was looking to stage left and we could see him & Portal, the Ferengi were behind him & to his right, but the closeups of Riker showed the tops of the Ferengi's heads, showing (barely) that they were in front of him.

Encounter at Farpoint

Symbiosis
