Classic Star Trek 

 1. Where No Man Has Gone Before...The second pilot. 
     See the show before it became a show. Check out Spock's 
     eyebrows. 

 2. The Corbomite Maneuver...The first produced 
     episode. The earliest example that aliens do not 
     have to be big scary monsters; a theme Star Trek 
     promoted. "This is Tranya." 

 3. The Naked Time...this is the episode that really 
     explored the inner needs of the characters. 
     "Yesss! IIII've FOUND Mr.Spock!!! 
     ..I'mtalkingtoMr.Spock,YOUUNDERSTAND?!?"

 4. The Enemy Within...Good exploration about the parts 
     of a man that gives him the strength of command. First use 
     of the Vulcan Neck Pinch. "I WANNA LIVE!!!!" 

 5. Balance of Terror...Submarine warfare in space. Try to 
     figure out why they have to be quiet in a Starship when 
     sound doesn't travel across space. 

 6. Dagger of the Mind...The first use of the Vulcan mind 
     meld. One of the most attractive of Kirk's potential love 
     interests. "I love my work." 

 7. Space Seed...The must see episode, if you want to 
     watch the movies, that is. "I find myself growing 
     fah-tigued, Captain." 

 8.Errand of Mercy...The first appearance of those pesky 
     static-Klingons. See the great performance of the man who 
     would someday be Baltar. 

 9. The Doomsday Machine...Remember Will Decker 
     from The Motion Picture, when Kirk took away his 
     starship in his lust to regain command??? Wanna see 
     what happens to his daddy? Well, then, this is the one to 
     see, kids! This will show you why the original series 
     special effects were so well renowned. 

 10. City on the Edge of Forever...Sir Derf's personal 
     favorite. See the best example of dramatic conflict in the 
     series. Uhura say's, "I'm frightened." 

 11. Journey to Babal...See Spock's mom! See Spock's 
     dad, especially if you want to understand who the heck 
     this guy is in Star Trek III! See Kirk's flying jump kick 
     (that wall won't bother anybody anymore)! See McCoy 
     get the last word! 

 12. Amok Time...See Spock in heat! Great speech about 
     the value of friendship over career. "I see no logic in 
     preferring Stonn over me." 

 13. Mirror, Mirror...ok, not a must see, just a heck of a lot 
     of fun. Kirk romances one of the classic Trek Babes. 
     Chekov screams. See Spock in a beard. Nice outfit on 
     Uhura. 

 14. Metamorphosis...Zefram Cochrane? Man it's amazing 
     what a few years will do to a guy; he doesn't even sound 
     the same. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy meet a living legend. It's 
     a love story that's a real gas. "The man must continue." 

 15. The Trouble With Tribbles...frequently voted the 
     most popular classic Trek episode. See the evil Klingons 
     in a more entertaining episode. See Scotty defend the 
     honor of Kirk? "I transported the whole kit and caboodle 
     into their engine room, where they'll be no tribble at all." 

 16. Spock's Brain...See the lowest of the low! "His mind 
     is gone!!!" "Brain and brain! What is brain?" 

Star Trek: The Next Generation 

 1. Encounter at Farpoint...see the beginning. See Q!!! 
     See the holodeck explained. See Picard with a pickle up 
     his...well, you get the idea. See how much the series has 
     improved from its Farpoint beginnings. 

 2. The Naked Now…See an early example of the Next
     Generation's greatness and originality. The Enterprise 
     gets a disease that's passed through sweat and it acts 
     like alcohol on the crew. The Doctor wants the captain, 
     Geordi wants to see, Data gets Jiggy with it, and Wesley 
     locks himself in engineering and sings "Take Me Home 
     Again Cathleen" throughout the starship. Wow! I've never 
     seen a plot like this one before!!!! "You Jewel, that's exactly 
     what I'm looking for." 

 3. Where No One Has Gone Before…We liked the 
     name so much we had to use it twice! Trying out some 
     new intermix formulas for the engines, the Enterprise 
     ends up WAY out of town; so far out that their thoughts 
     can become reality. Play the accent game! See Picard's 
     mom and from her accent try to figure out if he's English, 
     French, or Jewish. Wesley get's killed. Well, not really, 
     but that would really make this episode worth watching, 
     wouldn't it? "Put the fire out in your mind!" 

 4. Heart of Glory...a nice little standout episode for Worf. 
     See renegade Klingons try to capture the good old days. 
     Learn what it means to be Klingon. "What of Duty? What 
     of Honor?" 

 5. The Measure of a Man...Data in a fight for his identity. 
     Just what makes up a conscious living entity?? "Star Fleet 
     was founded to seek out new life, well there it sits!" 

 6. Q Who?...the first appearance of the Borg. See Whoopi 
     Goldberg as an almost likable person. Oh, and Q's back. 
     "And Microbrain! Growl so I know that you love me." 

 7. Yesterday's Enterprise...The Enterprise C is under 
     attack and warps into the future by accident; missing the 
     pivotal point that seals the peace between the Federation 
     and the Klingons. Now everything is falling apart. They 
     must go back. "I'm supposed to be dead." 

 8. Sins of the Father...Worf must return to Quonos and 
     defend the honor of his family. Picard is his Chadeech 
     (I can't spell these Klingon phrases). Worf argues. Picard 
     fights. A fun Klingon adventure. 

 9. Sarek... Wanna see Spock's dad lose his mind. Wanna 
     see Picard act in a groovy mind meld scene? Well, this is 
     it folks! 

 10. The Best of Both Worlds Part 1...Let's just watch 
     Part 1 and wait three months like we had to when the 
     episode first premiered. See Picard mope until Whoopi 
     Goldberg gives him a peptalk. Sorry, no Q in this episode. 

 11. The Best of Both Worlds Part 2...Well, ya wanna 
     see what happens don't ya. See more Borg. See sexy 
     Picard in a near state of undress. See Riker mope until 
     Whoopi Goldberg gives him a peptalk. Thought I saw Q 
     but I think it was the warp core. 

 12. Family...one of the best episodes of Next Generation as 
     Picard tries to recover from the psychological damage of 
     his capture by the Borg. "I tried so hard!" 

 13. Reunion...See Worf meet up with his old girlfriend. 
     Boy, does she have a surprise for him. See the 
     appearance of Gowron and those cool evil eyes. Just try 
     to keep Worf in check. 

 14. Redemption 1 and 2...Klingon civil war. Picard can't 
     get involved. Data acts on a hunch and saves the day. 

 15. Unification 1 and 2...the demise of Sarek and find out 
     what Spock has been doing all these years. Try to 
     discover why Romulans as well as every member of every 
     alien race all have funny foreheads, except the Vulcans. 
     Ah, Cowboy diplomacy. 

 16. The First Duty...Wesley's in trouble. Nyah-nyah, 
     nyah-nyah, nyaaaahhh-nyah. After surviving a near 
     collision in an Acadamy flight show, there's a small 
     hearing. Everything will be ok as long as we can keep 
     those stories straight. See Robert Duncan McNeill play a 
     loser on The Next Generation before he plays one on 
     Voyager. 

 17. The Perfect Mate...Picard falls for a bride destined for 
     another in this replay variation of the original series Elaan 
     of Troyus. And who wouldn't, when the bride to be is the 
     gorgeous Famke Jansen. Watch her hit on every guy on 
     the Enterprise. See one of the very rare times when Worf 
     smiles. "Grrrrrrrrrrrr. Grrrrrrrrrrrr." "Bridge, I'll be on 
     holodeck 4."

 18. I, Borg...A Borg is a Borg is a Borg, except when he's 
     not a Borg. Hugh comes aboard the Enterprise and soon 
     he's discovered himself and singing, "I just gotta be 
     meeeeeee....." What's a Picard gonna do? Destroy the 
     Borg and save millions or....Hmmmmm...how's that go? 
     "The needs of the many....."? 

 19. Relics...Wanna know what happened to Scotty? Well 
     he crash-landed into a Dyson sphere and having eaten 
     everything on board (we never knew for sure what 
     happened to his shipmate), he decides the only way to 
     survive is to exist in a transporter. All those years later, 
     the crew of the Enterprise D find him and discover that 
     old people can't shut up in any century. "The Enterprise? 
     Why I bet Jim Kirk himself drug her out!" 

 20. Chain of Command 1 & 2...Picard is captured by 
     the Cardassians and they don't like him. See another 
     sexy shirtless Picard episode. Have some Egg Drop Soup. 
     MMMMMMMMM! Riker don't like the new captain who says, 
     "Go to your room!" "There are four lights!!" 

 21. Tapestry...Picard's It's a Wonderful Life and my 
     personal favorite Next Gen episode. Q's back and he's 
     God (so he says). I just wish I could relive some of the 
     moments of my life. "Is there a John Luck Pickerd 
     here?" 

 22. The Chase...Picard learns of a secret message being 
     left in the building blocks of life that has been seeded 
     across the cosmos. Soon we learn why all the aliens have 
     2 arms, 2 legs, funny foreheads, and all speak English. 
     "That's it?? If she were real, I'd shoot her, myself." 

 23. All Good Things...See the bookend of the series. See 
     Q again. See 3 Enterprises. See Worf romance Troi???
