Star Trek: 25 Greatest Next Generation Episodes
23. Where Silence Has Lease
One of the most fascinating episodes, in my mind, which also has the least satisfying ending of all time, involves the Enterprise being enveloped in a black hole that is reminiscent of Klingon folklore.

The Enterprise is faced with a faux Romulan warbird and a Galaxy class starship with a twisted interior before the alien creature reveals that it wishes to helm the original "1000 Ways to Die" using a good chunk of the crew; however, when Picard pulls off a last minute bluff by threatening to destroy the ship to not satisfy the creature's curiosity, the Enterprise is released.
It was definitely one of the more fun and interesting of the earlier episodes to watch however with one of the least satisfying endings in the entire franchise.
