What is your favorite Star Trek episode, any series?

[Dan From Smithville]

I like it all. And I can't help it.

I once read that if you liked Tolkien's Lord of the Rings/Hobbit, you would not like Herbert's Dune or vice versa. I was puzzled at this notion since I like them all.

Q is like an anti God but in a good way. He is a well intentioned devil. Like if everything good had an honorable antithesis. That's not to say he is perfect, because he has faults. He clearly is putting humanity and others to a severe test.

I think I like the character best when he is less narcissistic and more well-intentioned devil.

Who doesn't like the Xindi war? That was epic with Enterp

Nope. I'm crazy about them both.

Yes it was a product of Cold War angst, as so many shows were back then.

A lot of the classic science fiction movies that I like from the 50's and 60's are said to have exploited the fear the Cold War wrought in the public. A lot of the lower grade movies are certainly blatant in their depictions of man messing with nature and it getting out of control, much as the fear that messing with nuclear weapons would get out of control.

Nope. I'm crazy about them both.

There are elements of the Xindi that I wish could have been expanded on. I found the concept of multiple intelligent species evolving on a single planet from different stock to be very interesting.

'The House of Quark' ....DS9.

Pssssst, don't tell anyone, but I have a thing for the Lady Grilka!

As a child I was frightened by the gorn on the original series episode "Arena", now it is one of my favorite episodes. I really like "Under the Pale Moonlight" episode of DS9 too.

I like TNG best. I don't have a favorite episode, but the ones with Q in them are pretty good.

That is a good episode. I won't tell.

A lot of people like old Q. I did not watch TNG when it originally aired, but I have come to really enjoy it.

In the original series, I really liked the episode "Shore Leave", but it left a lot of unanswered questions about the Caretaker and his people. Much as the questions left by the episode "Assignment Earth" that I previously mentioned.

Does anyone know if these have been brought up in any of the subsequent series or is it all still just hanging?

That is a good episode. I won't tell.

Much appreciated
