My brother said that he will watch an episode of Trek with me when I visit my family in October.

I am wonder what the best single episode to show him is. He has not seen anything Trek before.

I am thinking something that is newer, but not necessarily.

Anyway, what do you think would be good?

TNG "Devil's Due"

Top notch in my opinion. When Picard steps to The Devil (Ardra) is one of my top moments of all time.

I think lots of people could identify with this episode due to it's scifi content and it's theological content.

    Devil’s Due

    If this was the only episode of Star Trek I'd ever seen I'd have no interest in continuing 😅

    I actually think "Inner Light" is a good option for OP because is a "side quest" that doesn't require much backstory, while still being thematically aligned with what to expect with TNG.
