There's one episode in TNG, the one where the Enterprise is infected with an Iconian virus? I laughed so hard watching it because their solution to the problem of the week was to turn the computer off and turn it back on. In the 1980's I'm sure that seemed very brilliant, in 2012, I sat there laughing wondering why they hadn't already tried that
I really want to watch TOS, just for the laughs. Sadly, except for the original films, I have no way to. Cursed British television, never showing 'good' programs..
Although I have seen the animated series.
By the way, does anyone play Star Trek Online? It went free to play in January.

If you've never played an MMO, don't. They are too time consuming. The only reason I play WoW is because I have established characters and supporting new ones/twinks is extremely easy. Making the jump to another MMO is painful.
When STO released it was bad, really really really bad. Its still not that good, but now that its free to play, I think anyone who is a major trekkie should try it out. The games design is fun, especially ship combat, and the new ground combat is very similar to Mass Effect 1 in style.There's an abundance of fan made content, some of it really really good and you can tell the developers pay attention to Star Trek cause the game is one huge nerdgasm.
My thoughts:
Gameplay: Good (Space)/Meh (Ground)
Story: Good if your a Trekkie, meh if your not.
Graphics: Decent. Nothing special.
I agree with Hats. Sure, it isn't amazing. But it is free, and for that you get a very good game. Hell I'd never pay for it (as tempting as it is.. all those shiny extras), but as it is for free, it is enjoyable and worth spending some time on.
I kid you not though, it is the easiest MMO to level up on.. ever. Since I started playing on about January the 20th I've got two characters at the level cap and another about half way.. easy stuff.
I can understand how it loses appeal but I joined a very social fleet which has improved my gaming experience in it tenfold.
Church: So it is a sword, It just happens to function like a key in very specific situations.
Caboose: Or it's a key all the time, and when you stick it in people, it unlocks their death.

Also, Kirk > Picard.
Yep.

I just started playing DDO, and I am having a blast. LvL 10 in under a week. It's good to know low people in high places. Plus we haul ass through dungon's XP farming for the win. =o]
I would have to say my fav TNG are 'best of both worlds' (who didn't like the borg back back?)
"Chain of Command"
The one where the Ferengi kidnap Riker, Troi and Troi's totally GMILF mom. Picard having to do the serenade at the end was awsome.

I believe that one is titled "Lwaxana's First Earjob."
Sorry, guess I didn't put enough sarcasm into that GMILF comment. MBR was hot back in the day. Age hasn't been her friend. Although I did like her in Earth: Final Conflict, not her looks of course or her acting.

She actually voiced computers in all 4 major TV series.
Well if we are doing trivia, she was Gene Roddenberry's wife.
Yeppers and bonus points Roddenberrys ashes where taken up on a shuttle mission( or sent up might not of been on the now defunct Space Shuttles) and let go into the void.
Damn, I figured they would've been completely ignored in a few of the sub-character focused episodes. Worf, IIRC, has more Trek episodes (across all series) under his belt than anyone...seemed like a safe bet!

Man the time-travel and alternate reality episodes in DS9 were the best, followed closely by episodes that focused on the none-starfleet characters, like Quark or Odo.
