Star Trek Videos

Amok Time Spock goes nuts under the influence of the Vulcan ponn farr. He must return to Vulcan to mate or die trying.

Mirror Mirror The away team is transported up from a planet during a storm. This causes a transporter accident that sends them to an alternate universe, a universe where the humans are part of

The Trouble with Tribbles A classic episode where Klingons, Humans, and Tribbles clash.

Best of Both Worlds Captian Picard gets borg-ified, becoming Locutus. Now the Borg know what he knows!

Darmok Picard learns to communicate with an alien species the hard way. A very interesting episode.

Inner Light One of my favorate episodes of TNG. In this episode, Picard lives an entire lifetime on another planet.

The Next Phase A Romulan destress call is answered by the Enterprise. When Geordi and Ro are beeming back to the ship to replicate some engine component, they fail to rematerialize. They are pronounced dead, and Ro thinks they are dead as well, but Geordi has another theory. In reality, they are both out of phase. In interesting episode.

Rascals This episode pits the Enterprise against the Ferengi, with a twist. Some of the enterprise personell, including Captain Picard, had a transporter misshap shortly before the Ferengi arrive. They all have the bodies of themselves as children, but their minds have all the knowledge of their adult selves. Quite interesting.

Timescape The Enterprise goes to the aid of Romulans while Picard, Data, LaForge, and Troi are at a conference. The come back to find the Enterprise frozen in time.

The Emissary The first episode of Deep Space Nine, it is possibly my favorite

Trials and Tribble-ations Deep Space Nine meets the original series in an episode that has Sisco and company meet the tribbles. Very good.
