5 Best Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 1 Episodes

4. Datalore

I€™ve never been a fan of the €œevil twin€ trope in drama. Nevertheless, it was reasonably well-executed here, where we meet Data€™s evil twin, Lore, and learn that we can tell them apart because, apparently, Data can€™t use contractions. Except when he does. Which is not infrequently. This episode did do a great job of showing us what actor Brent Spiner was capable of and it does include fan-favorite moment where Lore offers to do us all a favor by murdering Wesley. Sadly, it was not to be, but this story still holds up well.

3. Heart of Glory

We finally get to see Klingons other than Worf! We finally get to see Worf do something other than getting beat up by aliens! We finally get a little action and excitement! Ok, it didn€™t last, but at least we go it! This episode showed us a glimpse at what the larger Klingon culture was like in the 24th century and how Worf (poorly), fit into it, and did so in a surprisingly entertaining way.
