Red alert!

Let's say one morning you were telling your boyfriend about a complex dream you had about Star Trek: The Next Generation, and he mentioned that he hadn't really seen any episodes of the show. Which 2 or 3 episodes do you get immediately from Netflix to rectify this situation

THIS IS TOO HARD.

I would however like to register a negative vote for Sub Rosa.

[moireach]

Hahahaha NOOO.

No, TNG is NOT BSG, but it's awesome in its own cheesy Ramada Inn in Space kind of way.

I'd go for the Borg arc. I watched a little TNG here and there but I wasn't officially sucked in until I watched the two-partner with Picard getting turned into Locutus.

I also love Inner Light, the time loop one (it's so DARK for TNG!), maybe Ensign Ro.And for cracky, you can't beat a Lwaxana ep.

I would not recommend anything featuring Wesley, Troi or any Klingon sagas (is it just me who finds the Klingon drama incredibly dull?).

[moireach]

Ohhh Ensign Ro. How was she so awesome? That reminds me, I still need to watch the DS9 episodes where she shows up. (I didn't dream that, right? It did happen?)

[dashakay]

I can't remember if she was on DS9 or not. I still need to watch past S2.

How lucky is Michelle Forbes? She's been on TNG, BSG, True Blood, Homicide and Lost. I wish I could be her when I grow up. ;)

The one where the ship blows up in the time loop! I love that one! What was it called?

But maybe get him one of everything? A lot of people like the Borg one...? Also, the Inner Light is classic scifi. Everyone should watch it.

Cause and Effect! Which is actually what my dream was about: I'd found (on Etsy?!) a novelization of the episode from Data's point of view, which managed to perfectly capture an android's perceptions. lulllz wtf. I hadn't even been thinking about TNG any time recently!

[fflo]

The one where we find out Data can have sex.

I suppose you ought to include some cheesy Holodeck thing, as they "went" there a lot. I'd skip Q, cuz I thought that was crap, and maybe hold off on the Borg until you've jumped him in. I suspect it works better once you know (and maybe care about) Picard.

I haven't seen any of them since they were on TV the first time, though, so what do I know.

[moireach]

Heee, I have a feeling 'through a filter of 20 year memories' may be the best way to experience that show. Ah, the holodeck, so broken all the time!

[verybadhorse]

i vote something data-heavy. but also, your icon: yesssss.

Worf is always most hilarious at his crankiest!
