What do you think is the greatest single episode ever from any series ?
All Good Things ?
Blink Of An Eye ?
Duet ?
Spock's Brain ?
Tough call. And interesting a question that hasn't actually been posed here a dozen times. Far out.
Off the top of my head I'd probably go with In the Pale Moonlight, but there are certainly rivals. I'm probably blurring the line between
the best and
my favorite. When I think of the best, all of them really show up in DS9. Duet, The Visitor (quite possibly the high-water mark), ItPM, and Rocks and Shoals.
For TOS, I always found The City on the Edge of Forever overrated, until one day I noticed how good an episode it really was. After that, maybe the Doomsday Machine.
All Good things gets bumped down out of contention in my book because of a previously unnoticed plot hole the size of delta quadrant. Of the TNG episodes, they come down to Picard-centric ones, and Tapestry rates pretty high for me.
A darkhourse contender would be Similitude. The only Enterprise episode that ranks with the greats. Probably falls short, though. Haven't seen it in ages.
VOY probably comes down to Blink of an Eye. Damn near a perfect episode.
