Welcome to a Star Trek community where you’re free to chat and share your opinions about all things Trek!

I want to have a place where fans can come to praise, discuss, and even criticise things in the Star Trek franchise. No show or movie is perfect, and I don't believe people should be silenced for having a dissenting opinion. That being said, there are still a few rules.

Be Nice - No personal attacks. You can disagree with someone's opinion, but it needs to stop there.

No Slurs - This is applicable to ethnicity, religion, gender, or anything else.

No Adult Content - Keep it family friendly.

No Spamming or Trolling - Consistently spamming comments or trolling is just not needed.

Please keep topics Trek related or Trek adjacent for the most part, and have fun!

We've had quite a lot of Star Trek produced over the years! The last I had seen we're well over 900 episodes and counting. There have definitely been a lot of episodes that weren't that good, but we've also had quite a few episodes that are pretty great! What are your favorites?

I always have issues with narrowing things down, but these are the episodes that immediately spring to mind:

DS9 1x19 Duet
DS9 2x22 The Wire
DS9 7x10 It's Only a Paper Moon
TOS 2x06 The Doomsday Machine
TNG 3x03 The Survivors

After writing down those episodes and thinking about it a bit more, I also thought of these as well:

DS9 4x19 Hard Time
TNG 3x23 Sarek
DS9 6x19 In the Pale Moonlight
TOS 1x14 Balance of Terror
TNG 2x09 The Measure of a Man
DS9 4x02 The Visitor
TNG 4x02 Family

There are certainly more I haven't thought of so the list changes sometimes, but it's at least the list of the episodes that I remember most!

I've always been partial to the Constitution, preferably the TOS but also the SNW version. The Ambassador is another, and I also like the Crossfield other than the spinning saucer and ultra long naceles!

I've always been partial to the Miranda, as well.

That is a good ship! They were in service for quite a long time, I'm assuming with major systems upgrades like the B-52 has gotten. It's very impressive that the Miranda was in service from the original NCC-1701 clear up to the Enterprise-E at least! Obviously they had no chance of keeping up with the top of the line ships at that point, but in universe they must have been a very solid platform for upgrades.

Right, and not every ship needs to be a battleship. Pirate patrol, coast guard, courier, general exploration and poking at things. All incredibly valuable roles that can be handed with sensor and engine upgrades.

Exactly! The smaller ship and crew complement is great for that.
