Any love here for "Unification" 1 & 2 from TNG? I've not seen it mentioned...

Agreeing with most of the choices for DS9 and TNG and while i think DS9 and TNG are superior series (by a longish way) Voyager did have some stand out episodes. If push comes to shove i would go for "Timeless" as it's best.

Much love for "Unification" 1 & 2. However, Spock is left on Romulus to work towards Unification and the story has never been revisited. I'd love to know what progress he was able to make. I wonder why none of the later franchises explored that dangling thread...

TNG: Inner Light is my favorite. Only watched parts of a few random episodes of Voyager, couldn't find any interesting characters. Pretty much the same for DS9, although Terry Farrell was hot. My cable company at the time stopped carrying UPN so I missed the last season of Enterprise. TOS was responsible for me being late to a lot of things because I had to watch each new episode, but can't say I had a favorite episode.

The novels did.

Select to view spoiler:
Spock's mission kept getting sidetracked; he was needed to deal with the Thallonian Crisis, then the Dominion War broke out, and Spock tried to get the Empire to join the war effort. The war changed everything; returning Romulan crews brought with them new ideas and philosophies from outside the Empire's borders. This is what touched off Shinzon's coup and the Romulan civil war.
After Voyager returned, Starfleet sent Tuvok undercover to drag Spock back. He was there when Shinzon's coup happened, then (after Nemesis), Tuvok was rescued by the Titan.
Spock then negotiated a treaty between the Romulans, Remans, and Klingons, and was last seen heading to Qo'nos.

Probably the original series. There are actually too many of them for me to list right now.
All the Trek series are fantastic and each have great episodes.
