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

This is the one I've been going off.

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

Yep, that's one that was on the list.
Solid episode, but...I don't know, I feel like it could have theoretically done in one part, but I get the significance and importance of the Star Trek season finale/launch double episodes.
It was nice to see the crew under different circumstances, and the whole "mission" angle was pretty interesting. Both parts of the show, the Picard parts and the enterprise parts were actually pretty interesting.
Captain ?Jallico? was a bit of a fuckhead though eh.
Stewart put into this episode.

What do you think are the best NG eps?
|
I'm not too familiar with that many by name...TNG was on when I was quite young and I've only watched through it once since...I preferred Voyager at the time I first got into Trek, and now, I find DS9 a superior show to both the other main 90's series.
Hm...I'll probably have to just refer to the ones on the list I liked.
The first episode, that was the one with the trial of humanity by Q, right?
It was weird. Funny. Interesting. It also showed a bit of a pest/villain, and how the "new crew" would react to a threat of this kind. It was a good intro to the characters and I think a very strong first episode...it kind of embodied what star trek and its characters were *still* about, for all it's changes.
Datalore and Brothers are a nice kind of double feature split up through the series. Sibling rivalry done different. Showcased Spiners range too.
Lore, for as little as he was in it, was one of my favourite characters...because not only is he not difficult to understand...he's just...funny. Angry. Made a good "bad guy" but was really just lashing out, in a completely psycho android way.
"Family" was a very good episode that went into Picards past, and connection to his brother...some of his motivations, and the hugely different paths they took. Don't know if you remember but it came not so long after the "Locutus of Borg" stuff...and while those would have surely been shocking events...this episode showed the repercussions of his actions while under the influence of the collective, and his mud fight and breaking down crying with his brother to this day is just...really well done...Stewart whipping his acting balls right out.
The 2-part finale, is in my mind one of the best series finale episodes, ever.
Clever episode.
