I've been watching TNG on Netflix. They only have seasons 1-4, what eps should I definitely check out?

The best TNG is in S3 which rocks the Kasbah big time.
But in the interests of fairness
S1
Encounter at Farpoint
Datalore
Conspiracy
The Neutral Zone
S2
A Matter of Honor
The Measure of a Man
Q Who
Peak Performance
S3
The Ensigns of Command - rubbish episode but it contains *the* moment where the series clicks
Booby Trap
The Enemy
The Defector
Déjà Q
Yesterday's Enterprise
The Offspring
Sins of the Father
Sarek
Ménage à Troi
The Best of Both Worlds
S4
The Best of Both Worlds: Part II
Family
Brothers
Reunion
Future Imperfect
Data's Day
Redemption I

S5
Redemption II
Darmok
Ensign Ro
Unification I
Unification II
I, Borg
Time's Arrow
S6
Time's Arrow, Part II
Realm of Fear
Relics
Schisms
Chain of Command, Part I
Chain of Command, Part II
Face of the Enemy
Tapestry
Second Chances
Descent
S7
Descent, Part II
Phantasms
Parallels
Lower Decks
Masks
Eye of the Beholder
All Good Things...

A decent stab at a list, Phil, but you need to add Cause & Effect and Timescape.
Edit: Oh, and The Big Goodbye. And Elementary, Dear Data. And Ship in a Bottle. And Starship Mine.
Actually, there were a hell of a lot of classy episodes in this series.

Excellent suggestions by Phil.
I would add
S3 - Who Watches the Watchers
S3 - Hollow Pursuits
S3 - The Most Toys
S4 - First Contact (possibly the best TNG episode ever as a piece of science fiction).
S4 - The Nth Degree
Ensigns of Command is nice little episode all the way through and certainly the start of great things for TNG.

It's the bit where after being mucked about by the alien race all episode Picard cuts the transmission and goes wandering round the bridge as the coms call goes off in the background. and then in Booby Trap
where he takes the con to fly the ship out the trap

Actually, there were a hell of a lot of classy episodes in this series. Martin I'm not a huge fan of Holodeck episodes. But I did nearly nominate Starship Mine. Checking now both Cause & Efect and Timescape are good. |

All I can say about Cause and and Effect is thre - BOOM!
Ship in a Bottle. Great episode.. The ending is a bit surprising for such a self-proclaimed morally developed people as the Federation...

We never saw the aliens from 'Conspiracy' again, did we? Despite the homing beacon. A lot of Wrath of Khan style comeback oportunities in there. My favorite TNG episode. Edge of my seat I was when saw that for first time.

If its the newly remastered versions I'd rewatch them all, even the ones I remembered being pretty terrible turned out to be watchable at least once with the new FX.

Nope. It is the unseen alien menace in the following episode 'The Neautral Zone' who are meant to be the Borg. -Ralph |

That's what I thought!
And the 'Conspiracy' Aliens were never seen again.

Yep. I'm not even aware of the Conspiracy aliens even turning up in comics or novels!

Pretty sure they turned up in a novel? Albeit one I didn't read.
EDIT: ah, Martin beat me to it by less than a minute!
Think it's best they didn't turn up again, it was a reasonably well contained episode (though nice that there was a hint earlier in the season) and follow-ups can so often lead to disappointment.

But a follow-up done well is brilliant!!! Wrath of Khan, First Contact.

I've been watching TNG on Netflix. They only have seasons 1-4, what eps should I definitely check out? I think they have everything on the US Netflix, which is pretty easy to get access to by either changing DNS settings, or using an app like Hola. |
