  • I understand.

    There are so many episodes to choose from, it’s almost cruel to make a Trekkie pick just three. There are, like, ten more episodes I could have picked for TNG alone.

    Year of Hell is amazing, especially since it was a prophecy from earlier in the series. But I think Killing Game and Scorpion make better two-parters because they had a lasting effect on the ship and the show. Killing Game was huge in scale and necessary to address the power balance with the Hirogen. And Scorpion gave us Seven. Year of Hell, for all it did, fell victim to the big red reset button. And to pour salt on the wound, no one even remembered what happened.


  • In no particular order, two-parters count as one episode.

    TOS:

    • Balance of Terror
    • The Trouble with Tribbles
    • The Doomsday Machine

    TAS:

    • The Infinite Vulcan
    • The Slaver Weapon
    • The Lorelai Signal

    TNG:

    • Measure of a Man
    • The Inner Light
    • Cause & Effect

    DS9:

    • Pale Moonlight
    • Past Tense
    • Far Beyond the Stars

    VGR:

    • The Killing Game
    • Latent Image
    • Scorpion

    ENT:

    • Regeneration
    • A Night in Sickbay
    • A Mirror Darkly

    Those are the only series I’ve seen in their entirety, so I’ll leave it at that.
