But, in making a top ten list, it was difficult. There are so many good episodes–and many underrated episodes as well. It was hard to pick just ten episodes, but in the end, it is the job of every geeky fan like myself to compile a list of their favorite episodes of their favorite television series; and, so, here is the list of my top ten favorite Star Trek: TNG episodes.
