Just about to finish TNG Season 2, I only watched the odd episode on television in the 90's and ST: Enterprise is the only complete series I have binged.

So I saw Measure of a Man which was great, in addition to that one, what episodes should I look forward to?

These are some of my favourites:

The Inner Light

Chain of Command

Sins of the Father

The Most Toys

The Offspring

I mean there are loads of bangers in the whole series and I think it just gets better over time in general but those are some ones that come to mind.

@briongloid @Speckle Great list. Chain of Command is my favorite two-parter also. Patrick Stewart’s performance as Picard deteriorating under torture, but refusing to give in, and still mentally deconstructing his captor is immense. Also we learn a lot about the Cardassians’ militaristic regime, and how much they’ve “dehumanized” their enemies.

Yeah there is a lot of story in there and the whole episode feels gritty. Patrick Stewarts acting is solid from season 2 onwards IMO, but I am quite biased

Chain of command is my absolute favorite. There’s just so much going on in those two episodes that I could go on about it all day.

I had to scroll way too far before someone mentioned Chain of Command. Lol.
