Roy VeldmanFavorite Two Part Episode (Three Parts Count)
Posted on Thu, 12/30/2363 - 05:44 by Visitor
My favorite two part episode is the one where they take on the Borg. Jean-Luc becomes Locutus. This episode was pivotal in the whole Star Trek Universe.
Reason why I am posting is because two parts are kind of like watching a movie.

Definitely. It was also the first time you saw a main character change sides. Though very unwillingly. You felt bad for Picard and wanted to reach out and help him. But at the same time as Locutus it sent a shiver down your spine. I think "The Best Of Both Worlds" in it's entirety is the best scripted, best directed, best edited and best acted episode of Star Trek ever made. Just my opinion of course.

I still have to say "All good things..." is my fav. episode and it's a two part so it counts. It just shows all the characters at it's best.

That was a great one too. I think that ep just showcased Q and Picard more then the others. But it was still a really good one.

I'm probably going to be shot for this, but I think my favorite TNG 2 parter was Time's Arrow. For those of you that don't remember, that was the one where Data lost his head back in the 19th century. The episode that showed where Picard and Guinan "really" first met. The episode that established just how old Guinan was. I thought the episode was great. It had a tremendous cliffhanger, what with Data vanishing into the past and then "To be continued..."
Star Trek really was always great about cliffhangers. They really kept you hungry for the conclusion of the cliffhanger. This one effected me the most strongly of all the cliffhangers. Why didn't BOBW effect me as strongly? Well because I caught BOBW on a rerun and so it was only a 1 day cliffhanger for me. I remember seeing Time's Arrow and then wondering all summer how it would be resolved.
Just my 2cents

One I could say was bad was "Chain of Command" Those episodes were terrible.

I thought so too, I liked "Gambit" myself, well all of them were good with the exception of "Chain of Command".
In my opinion.

PErsonally I rather liked Chain of Command. Mostly cause of the detail of taking Livingston out of Picard's RR. That was great the way Riker's reaction was covered.

To me all two parters were cliffhangers, we had to wait a week to see the next part, and there is no ReUnification, but there is Unification.

Incidentially my question is still pointed. The forum topic asks for favorite two part episodes (three parts count), but there were no 3 parters in TNG. In fact has there ever REALLY been a 3 parter?
We have them now with Enterprise, but they no longer name them Part I, Part II, Part III, but rather with different titles for each part.
If you go in those respects, I suppose TNG did have a 3 parter if you lump Family in with BOBW. Family was one of my favorite episodes of all time, and... for that matter, happens to be the first episode of Star Trek I ever saw.

I just didn't like the fact that Picard was replaced. That just made me twinge.

Yes, you are right, and it was mentioned in the previous post and I realized my misread, so I deleted my post.

Actuly, it was Best of Both worlds I&II, but I did like Family right after that ch

I know it was BOBW I and 2. My point is that the topic said 3 parters count, and there were no 3 parters in TNG, unless you go based on the new standard introduced in Enterprise of giving different titles to the episodes of 3 parters, in which case because it directly feeds off of BOBW, Family fits in as a 3 parter. It is kind of the... closing act as it were.
The Enterprise is being repaired from the damage of BOBW, and Captain Picard is trying to recover from the emotional damage caused by being

I liked that two parter. It really sucked me in. And what Picard went through. It could be comparable to what the Borg did to him except that he was able to fight back against the Cardassians unlike the Borg.
