I’m a fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, mainly because the awesome English actor Patrick Stewart plays the lead role of Captain Jean-Luc Picard. There are quite a few episodes of the show (176 in total!), so to help me remember which episodes I like and dislike (and also to provide recommendations for others interested in watching the show), I’m preparing this list of ratings. Please note: I enjoy watching the show only; I never dress up in costumes, attend conventions, or engage in passionate debates about the finer details of the show

Of course, these are my personal ratings, affected by my personal bias, and I sometimes disagree with the general opinions about which are the good and bad episodes. In my opinion, this show reaches its full potential when it deals with deep, thought-provoking issues such as morality, the purpose of life and existence, the nature of reality, and the advancement of knowledge and understanding by facing the unknown.

My favourite characters are Picard, Data, Q, Guinan and Barclay. Like many other viewers, I have an intense dislike of Lwaxana, the most irritating character in the whole show.

Watch out for references to the number 47 throughout the show! A couple of lists of references can be found here and here.

Recently, I’ve joined Memory Alpha (a Star Trek wiki), and begun making various minor corrections to articles there. Visit my user page for more info.

Picard fans should also check out the excellent Picard Song by DarkMateria, and the music video by Jux. The Star Trek vs Star Wars mashup video is also well worth watching.

The best episodes

I have reserved the full 10/10 rating for the following outstanding episodes, which to me represent the show at its very best.

Number	Title	Comment
1x06	Where No One Has Gone Before	Unknown regions of the universe, the power of the mind and thought, and the nature of reality.
2x09	The Measure of a Man	Sentience, intelligence, self-awareness, consciousness, freedom from slavery, and the definition of “life”.
4x05	Remember Me	A surreal mystery develops onboard the Enterprise, which Beverly must solve.
4x21	The Drumhead	Conspiracy, espionage, treason, sabotage, interrogation, and freedom of speech and thought.
5x19	The First Duty	Loyalty, duty, truth, lies, honesty, trust, betrayal, morality and friendship.
5x25	The Inner Light	When the Enterprise encounters an alien probe, Picard experiences something extraordinary.
6x12	Ship in a Bottle	A clever holodeck episode with two great plot twists. You’ll want to watch this episode twice!
6x21	Frame of Mind	A fantastic, nightmarish episode in which Riker cannot distinguish between reality and unreality.
