    My far-and-away favorite is Paste Tense from DS9. The conversation between Bashir and Sisko in the tent city hits me like a hammer on the heart every time.

    Least-favorite would have to be the lion’s share of Picard s2, but specifically the episode where the gang tries to pull an Ocean’s 11 at that gala event and Picard gets run over by a car.

      I agree. And that episode was especially stupid, but it was a special kind of stupid. I thought the late Annie Wersching’s performance as the Borg Queen was a highlight. It reminded me of Wayne Pygam’s scene-chewing-but-snarky performance as Head Scorpius from Farscape. And then Alison Pill got to show off her pipes singing “Shadows of the Night” while the band and spotlight operator jumped right in. Made no goddamn sense, but I loved it.

      Also, Pat Benatar is now canon in Star Trek.

      Past Tense is such a well done two-parter, too. Having watched it again recently it’s a bit scary how close it came to reality…
