Worst star trek next generation episodes

I believe most of the problem that people who dislike "Inner Light" find with it is this:

The story begins with a lone probe looking for one, single, individual to drill into their brain and make them live a fantasy life in their imaginations for half an hour and then gives them a nifty recorder for their troubles, when it's over. Yes, Picard's fantasy life as Kaman had a lot of Slice of Life moments that were very touching, like when he finally agreed to knock up his wife after five, desperately lonely years. Her reaction was cute and it does make me smile ... but there's just too much with this overrated episode to justify its overrated status in fan circles.

For me, personally, I can't single out any TNG episode as being so egregious that it's unwatchable, practically. But I'm not fond of any of the shows featuring Lwaxana Troi. They all tie for being super embarrassing to be made witness to. Put a white turtleneck on her, a black shirt and khaki pants and tone her personality down to dignified levels. That's how to approach a character of her supposed rank and "importance."

Star Trek: The Next Generation was the definitive procedural adventure show that set the standard for sci-fi series in the 90s. This long-awaited series revived the Star Trek franchise after decades of dormant silence on television, and brought in a new crop of fans as well as slowly acclimating older fans.

Unfortunately, with 178 episodes over seven seasons, it's straightforward for such a massive demonstrate to have a few duds. That being said, there has been plenty of fan discussion about what the wors episodes are, but not a lot of detail on the episodes with the worst endings, specifically. Because of its procedural essence, often even some decent or memorable episodes from the series can still fall flat on sticking the landing with a satisfying ending. Which episodes faltered in this respect?

  A major failing of The Next Generation, often cited, is that the crew all get along and care about one another, with no real conflict. Although having a beige spaceship where everyone cares about one another's feelings might be nice in real life, it doesn't particularly contribute to what a drama series needs, which is... drama. Consequently many episodes are forced to have one of the regulars act out of character in order to artificially generate some of that narrative conflict, but there's only so many times that your crew members can get possessed/mind controlled before it starts to stretch credulity. In just this season alone we have the following personnel acting out of character: Riker (Schisms, Frame of Mind), Worf (Rightful Heir), Data (Descent)... and, here, Deanna Troi.

  10 Worst Episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, According to IMDb

  Summary

  • Star Trek: The Next Generation had some phenomenal episodes, but not all of them were hits. Some lacked polished scripts due to time constraints.
  • The presence of beloved characters like Captain Picard and Lt. Commander Data made up for mediocre storylines in the worst episodes.
  • Despite its flaws, even the weakest episodes of TNG still showcased the compelling main characters that fans love.

  Star Trek: The Next Generation produced 178 episodes in its seven-season run, so it's no surprise that some worked far better than others. Following the adventures of Captain Jean-Luc Picard (Patrick Stewart) and his crew aboard the USS Enterprise-D, TNG introduced one of Star Trek's most beloved casts and produced some phenomenal science fiction television. While some TNG episodes, such as season 5's "The Inner Light" or the "Best of Both Worlds" two-parter continue to be lauded as some of Star Trek's greatest stories, other episodes didn't quite make the cut.

  The television landscape of the 1980s and 1990s was much different than it is today, and Star Trek: The Next Generation had

  Until season 5, episode 2—"Darmok." The setup is unexceptional: Picard is captured by a race of aliens that the Federation is unable to communicate with, and he is placed on a hostile planet with the alien captain, Dathon. Normal aliens can be processed by the universal translator, but not these ones. "Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra," Dathon says, leaving Picard nonplussed.

  Of course, our esteemed captain realizes that the aliens speak in metaphor and reference. Darmok and Jalad fought a common foe together at Tanagra, just as he and Dathon must fight the monsters on the planet they're stranded on. Dathon is killed, Picard is rescued, and the communications breakthrough is made. The aliens aren't necessarily friends... but they're not enemies either.

  So look, here's the thing. This is just nonsense. It doesn't work. For an allusion to a story to communicate anything, both parties must know what the story is. And that means telling the story. It means verbs and nouns and adjectives and all the normal words.

  You know: all the stuff that the universal translator can cope with. And in fact doe
