The opening of Star Trek into Darkness may re-awaken the desire of fans to view or review any of the 7oo plus episodes from the five series.
But what if you want to view the best installments from the entire run of Trek?
If you’ve got Netflix, you can queue up this set of ten episodes, recommended as the best Trek installments ever by MTV Geek’s Kevin Brettauer. We’ll include the list but if you want to read Kevin’s reasoning for picking these ten episodes, you’ll have to read his original article on MTV’s site.
10. “Darmok” (“The Next Generation” season 5, episode 2)
9. “The Inner Light” (“The Next Generation” season 5, episode 25)
8. “Obsession” (“The Original Series” season 2, episode 13)
7. “Far Beyond the Stars” (“Deep Space Nine” season 6, episode 13)
6. “The Ascent” (“Deep Space Nine” season 5, episode 9)
5. “The Wire” (“Deep Space Nine” season 2, episode 22)
4. “The Visitor” (“Deep Space Nine”season 4, episode 3)
3. “In the Pale Moonlight” “(Deep Space Nine” season 6, episode 19)
2. “Balance of Terror” (“The Original Series” season 1, episode 14)
1. “Duet” (“Deep Space Nine” season 1, episode 19)
It doesn’t surprise me at all that the majority of “best episodes” came from DS9. By far the best of all the Trek series & that’s saying a lot since they were all phenomenal television.
I found the list very heavy DS9 as well…if I’d made it up, it would likely have more classic Trek.
what about “children of time” it’s always been one of my favorites
