This is my favorite episode. Janeway is so cool

Trek heresy, but in my personal top five list from all the shows, Voyager takes two slots and TNG gets none.

Not even measure of a man gets a slot?

This is my personal list. While I know that academically TNG had a lot of high concept scifi, and was doing it before it was popular in TV, I don’t connect with it as much.

I feel that a lot of TNG episodes are worthy of being called great but I just don’t connect with them.

For what it’s worth, my top all time Trek episode is Voyager’s Living Witness.

Voyager’s Living Witness

Not a bad choice at all

Jus out of curiosity, why is it that you connect with this one but not the TNG ones?

The characters mostly. A combination of the writing and acting. I don’t dislike them (mostly) but I don’t feel in my feelings as compelled by Data’s journey for humanity as I do by the Doctor’s, for example.

Also the interior of the Enterprise-D is kind of hideous to me. Not that it’s a huge factor, but I like the softer lighting of Voyager or the NX. Even DS9’s intentional ugliness wraps around and I find it comfy. The Enterprise-D just looks like a garish 80s hotel.
