The best episodes of Star Trek.

The next generation according to real Trekkies Warning thats might contain some spoilers.

First on our list Door Mock Season five Episode two Timber His arms wide Mm, Thank you.

Thank you.

Dharma has been cited is the best episode in the entire collection of Star Trek shows.

In the episode, Captain Picard is abducted by an alien species that is known for speaking entirely in allegory and metaphor.

The crew typically relies on a translator device to communicate with other species, but the to marry in languages so steeped in imagery that their translators cannot decipher it.

This episode took longer to come to fruition than any other in the Siri's script wasn't popular amongst the team at first, but after two years and some script revisions, it finally came to life.

Shaka When the walls fell.

That's how you communicate, isn't it?

By citing example by metaphor Ozan his army with with fist open su cat, his eyes uncovered.

Number to the inner Light Season five Episode 25 did everyone know about this except me?

I'll we All right?

Inner Light is a fan favorite episode that offers us the rare chance to see Captain Jean Luc Picard usually logical and closed off character experience, a series of emotions, developed familial relationships and even age.

Patrick Stewart, who plays Picard, has often said it's his favorite episode of the Siri's.

The card is stuck unconscious by a beam from a mysterious alien probe.

As he lays unconscious on the floor of ship, he lives an entire lifetime on a planet that is slowly descending into a drought.

As the episode comes to a close, the card learns that knowing their planet was doomed, leaders placed memories of their society into a probe and launched it into space, hoping it with some day, find someone in the future to teach others about their species Or it's me, isn't it?

I'm someone I'm one is fine.

That's what this launching is.

Number three.

Measure of a Man Season two Episode nine What about self awareness?

What does that mean?

Why?

Why am I self aware?

Because you're conscious of your existence and actions you are aware of yourself and your own ego.

Come on, Data.

What are you doing now?

I'm taking part in illegal hearing to determine my rights and status.

Am I a person or property and what's at stake?

My right to choose.

Perhaps my very life commander Data is an android and capable of feeling emotion.

Who plays a crucial role on the ship.

Scientists wishes to dismantle data and create replicas of him.

Crew members are enlisted to fight in court over whether data is essential and being with the power to make his own decisions are merely a property of Starfleet.

Critics consider this to be the first great episode of the next generation, and it serves as a perfect example of the depth and cultural commentary present in Star Trek that makes it so special.

The episode inspired academics and discussions of morality and ethics on a technologically progressing world and was also seen as commentary on slavery.

Now you proposed to dismantle him so that I could learn from it and construct more.

How many more?

As many as I needed.

Hundreds, thousands of necessary.

There is no limit a single data, And forgive me, Commander is a curiosity.

Ah, wonder even but thousands of datas.

Isn't that becoming a race on what we be judged by how we treat that race.

Now tell me, Commander, What is data?

I don't understand.

What is he?

A machine?

Is he Are you sure?

Yes.

You see, he's met two of your three criteria for sentience.

So what if he meets the third consciousness and even the smallest degree?

What is he then?

I don't know you.

Do you?

Do you?

Number four The Offspring Season three Episode 16 Congratulations, Data.

It's a girl.

If you were to only watch two episodes of the next generation to get a better understanding of Commander data, the offspring and measure of a man are your best options.

And this popular episode data decides to become a father.

He creates an android based on his own design and begins calling it his daughter once it chooses its gender and appearance.

As with measure of a man, the episode explores themes of gender, freedom, independence and how the lines can be blurred by advances.

Artificial intelligence technology.

That is a flower law.

Inhale smell.

Yes.

Show me more Father, Second officer, science, log supplement training and social skills.

at the most elementary level has begun.

LOL is progressing very slowly but is not deterred by early setbacks.

While motor coordination has improved, 12% reflexes still need to develop.

Visual comprehension is especially difficult for law.

Translating her vast data banks into recognizable applications may improve with additional transfers.

She is also learning to supplement her innate android behavior with simulated human responses on.

It is interesting to note that as I observe Lal learning about her world I share in her experience almost, though I am learning things over again.

Number five on our list.

Lower Decks Season seven Episode 15 E Will Ben.

How you doing?

You call him will.

Why not?

He's second in command of this ship.

That's why not.

Lower Decks is a great episode for viewers who were new to the Siri's.

It's unusual in that it focuses primarily on non main characters, which makes it relatively spoiler free.

The episode follows four junior officers as they navigate the ship's performance evaluation process, hoping to be promoted and become involved in a top secret mission.

If I were alone, the chances of my succeeding would be slim, but if I had a prisoner with me about your in terrorist, I would appear to be a bounty hunter.

Border crossings of that nature are not uncommon.

And for a price, the patrol could be convinced to look the other way.

Once the shuttle is safely past the patrol, Jarrett will put you into an escape pod, return you back across the border.

Since the pot is so small, it will be difficult to detect.

We'll be waiting here to pick you up.

I understand, sir.

Instant.

This is obviously very dangerous mission.

I am not ordering you to take part in it.

Then I volunteer, Sir.

Be certain you understand the risk you are taking.

If you were captured in the Jordan, no one knows better than I do what Kardashians do to their prisoners.

I've made my decision.

Captain's log supplemental way have intercepted a Kardashian reports stating that a jaw and prisoner escaped her captor on was killed in an evacuation parties.

She tried to leave Kardashian space.

Yeah, toe all Starfleet personnel.

This is the captain.

It is my sad duty to inform you that a member of the crew, Ensign Sito JAXA, has been lost in the line of beauty.

She was the finest example of a Starfleet officer on a young woman of remarkable courage and strength of character.

Ah, loss will be deeply felt by all who knew her got out.

Theo episode offers a rare insight into what it's like to be a lower ranking officer on the Enterprise.

At the same time, it's considered to be one of the most emotionally impactful episodes in the Siri's.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
