Star Trek: EVERY Season Ranked Worst To Best

The Next Generation's seventh and final year was something of a victory lap for one of the greatest sci-fi shows ever made. The finale, All Good Things, stands as one of, if not the, finest closing episodes to any entry in the Star Trek universe.

Season seven is not bad, not by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, the actors were so settled into their roles that they could play the parts in their sleep. Many strong episodes dot throughout the year, not least of which are Preemptive Strike, The Pegasus and Gambit.

The only reason its a little lower on this list is because by the time this year rolled around, the show had already managed to delivery so many excellent episodes that it was, if not running out of steam, then certainly stretching what it was exactly that the crew could continue to face while still keeping the tension up for the audience.

One of the reasons that All Good Things works so well is because it is a loving tribute to the show as a whole, while still managing to keep the focus on the core cast for its runtime. Beyond this episode, almost everyone gets an episode to shine to themselves. Even Sub Rosa, for all of the detractors, has a gothic charm to it.

When next we met the crew of the Enterprise D, they were taking on the big screen. If this was to be their last hurrah in the world of television, at least it was poignant, loving and sometimes downright silly and fun!
