The Borg episodes are involving the "Hugh" character, the damaged borg they found, that gained back his individuality before deciding to re-join the collective to carry out a Starfleet plan...because apparently he returns in the new series.

Anyways. It's a nice relaxing re-watch in any event.

Last night I put on an episode that wasn't on the list on netflix, because I thought it sounded interesting and my memory of the latter part of TNG is well, almost non existent aside from the finale.

Will Riker is basically studying for a part in a play that he gets talked into...about a man falsely accused for a crime he can't remember, and considered crazy.
Then...through a plot device I won't go into...it becomes real.
The enterprise isn't real.
Starfleet career isn't real.
He's killed someone he can't remember and in a psych ward.
Lots of twists, turns and headfucks.
It was actually a really good episode...and fun to see Riker in distress ha...

4 more TNG episodes to go, including the EXCELLENT double episode finale.

Then onto the Voyager list to see some more borg/7 of 9 stuff on the list I'm guessing. Might watch the finale too.

Then the TNG movies, even the horrible Nemesis.
The Defector, Frame of Mind and I, borg were pretty interesting.

Maybe because you mentioned the new Picard series, I had just watched a few TNG eps for fun. I watched Devils Due. Good ep. And some I didn't remember: "The Outrageous Okona", "Time Squared", "Contagion"... not that good.

You have a list/link of eps one should watch before Picard?

Ever see The Inner Light ep? That might be a similar concept to Picard.

What do you think are the best NG eps?
