The following post will contain the list of the episodes in season 7. Peruse that list and count the number of episodes you think are good--not great episodes, but episodes that don't find you flipping the channel after a few minutes. Count them up and give me the results in the poll.

Now for the round 1.5:

Give me nominations for the best of this season. The more nominations an episode receives, the more likely it will be in the next round.

If you have selected all or nearly all the episodes as good, please nominate the ones you would leave OFF the final list (and tell me which is which).

This is the final poll of Round 1.

As a biologist, let me say that Genesis is the worst episode in all of Star Trek along with that Warp 10 episode from Voyager.

Hmmm.

"#722 Bloodlines | Picard is shocked to discover that he has a son, and that an old alien nemesis has targeted the young man for death."

Didn't something like this happen to Kirk in STII and STIII?

Those starship captains get around. I read somewhere that, had Voyager been picked up for another season, Janeway would have discovered a son she knew nothing about.

That's the one where they turn into critters? That's the one episode of TNG I simply could not watch all the way through. Unfortunately, I did see the Voyager warp 10 episode through, but I wish I hadn't. I didn't watch it a second time. (Actually, there aren't many Voyager episodes I have seen a second time.)

Journey's End is the episode where we learn that Wesley was, indeed, the chosen one..

Season 7 was not up to the standards of season 6, but it was still very good. I remember doing some research a couple of years ago, on the ratings curve for STNG, and the ratings progressed steadily upward from season 1, peaking at season 6(with some of the highest ratings ever for a sci-fi production), and then a small decline at season 7. That pretty much sums it up for STNG. Here are my favorites:

#725 - All Good Things

#716 - Thine Own Self

#701 - Descent Part II

I also think that "Journeys End" was well done. It was my favorite Wesley Crusher episode. I really enjoyed the last episode "All Good Things", it was very nice to see a great sci-fi production end on a very high note.

Still plenty of time for this last season, but I'm hoping for more votes and definitely more best episode lists.

I thought "Parallells" was about the only episode worth mentioning...The rest were annoying or just overwrought...

Blasphemous fools! How dare you speak ill of any TNG episode. Change the channel? Excuse me? Change away from TNG to...to what? No, sir--you sit and absorb every precious minute of Picardlyness your mortal life will grant you!

If you're going to compare a TNG episode, you compare it to every other TV episode every made...that wasn't made by Star Trek TNG.

Gene bless you.
