Encounter at Farpoint
I actually don't even remember the other episode. Season 1 was easily the weakest season. I remember looking back at it was surprised how hokey it was. Fortunately the show would get better. A LOT better! Not that I didn't like season 1 because despite it's hokiness I still do enjoy it.
Oh well, this doesn't look too promising. :( But no matter how unpopular it is, I'll still keep it going, just like the WNBA. ;)
Encounter at Farpoint wins 3-0
Next up is:
The Naked Now

Picard suspects conspiracy in Starfleet.
Damn, no love for Trek. :(
I voted for Conspiracy, which may end up winning 1-0.
This is gonna turn into one of those "crazy guy in the corner mumbling to himself" threads, but that okay.
Yep, Conspiracy wins it, 1-0
Next on the list is:
Code of Honor
http://www.startrek.com/imageuploads/200303/tng-104-ligonians-and-captain/320x240.jpg
Tasha is kidnapped and forced to fight to the death.
VS

Picard is reunited with an old flame whose husband's experiments threaten to disrupt time.
I guess I'll start casting my vote on the second day, in the hopes it won't get lost among the wrestling tournaments.

I'll go with Code of Honor since I vaguely remember that one.
Sorry, for not voting last round but most, not all, but most of season 1 I have a hard time recollecting. Though my favorite episode from season 1 is the one titled Skin of Evil with that black goo alien guy who looks like oil. And of coarse it's memorable because:
SPOILERS:
Tasha Yar dies :(
END OF SPOILERS
My other favorite from season 1 is the one when Q offers Riker to become a member of the Q continium.
Yeah, season 1 was kinda weak. The series, IMO took off during its 3 season. You'd be hard pressed to find a better TV cliffhanger than Best of Both Worlds 1 and 2. I remember seeing that episode, completley oblivious that it's hour was almost up. When Riker said, "Mr. Worf...Fire," and the screen flashed "To Be Continued", I thought I was gonna die before the start of season 4.
I voted for We'll Always Have Paris.
Uh-oh, 1-1 tie. :rolleyes:
If no one else votes by tomorrow, I'll my change my vote.

I have no idea for the first match since I don't remember either of them. I guess Coming of Age since that has most of the votes.
I have no idea for the second match since I LOVE both of them equally! I guess I'll go with Datalore since Lore is such an awsome bad guy! Though I love Q too (though he's not really a villain, mostly just an annoyance).
I'll with The Battle and Datalore. Datalore wins for two reasons.
1) One of the funniest, IMO, moments in Star Trek was when Data had on a beard.
2) Lore was THIS close to killing Wesley. ;)
Since everyone is having trouble remembering episodes, I'll start posting a 30 second preview for each episode.
Coming of Age (3-2) and Datalore (4-1) win.

When the Bough Breaks
The Big Goodbye
BTW, your comments lead me to ask this: Why do alot of people hate Wesley? I've always liked him and don't understand why his characte is hated by a lot of people.
When you think about it, he was a very important character. I mean, in the beginging Picard hated kids, but it was Wesley who made him to start not hating kids anymore.
I really don't hate him, per say. It just got annoying sometimes that he solved about every problem on the ship.
I actually liked his character once he became a full ensign, and Journey's End is one of my more favorite episodes.
My vote goes to Haven (can't stand Ma-Ma Troi)
and
The Big Goodbye (gotta love Dixon Hill.
Don't like both, but ok then.. Haven
Second is easier.. The Big Goodbye
(free's right, gotta love Dixon)
Haven (3-1) and The Big Goodbye (4-0) advance.
