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?

All of my usual go-to ones have already been said (The Inner Light, Chains of Command, etc.) so I'll add one that I think had not:

Frame of Mind

The ones directed by Jonathan Frakes in general, but that one in particular is just amazing.

Also, I think it's called "Disaster"? The one where Picard is trapped with all the kids and that one girl steps up as "Number One" for the day and then Riker lets her sit in his chair at the end. It's not a perfect episode, but it is just really heartwarming.

Respectfully, I hated Frame of Mind, although I can certainly understand why some people would enjoy it. I just felt as frustrated watching it as Riker was in it.

To me that's part of the appeal, is going along for the mindf--- with him.

What do you mean you've never heard of "The Laughing Vulcan and His Dog"?

I remember reading someone joke about this line somewhere about how that song is probably about Sybok and J'onn on Nimbus III.
