The Best Star Trek Episode

The Best Star Trek Episode - Any Series!

Published on August 18, 2006 By Dr Guy In Entertainment

I just finished re-watching "Ship in a Bottle" and I still love it! This is a totally harmless exercise in the 'grey cells" as Hercule Poirot would say. Barclay inadvertantly resurrects the Moriarity character from another episode (no Wrath of Khan here), and then Moriarity proceeds to dupe Data and Picard, until they realize they are being duped!

In the end, of course, Picard and Data turn the tables and put the Hologram Moriarity back in storage. As we knew they would.

But why do I love it so? Plots within Plots within Plots! It is a racing 60 minutes that actually makes the brain work (unless you are just there for the ride).

My Rating? 5 stars for Ship in a Bottle! best Episode of any of the series!

And to think I was going to trash it after Far Point Station. Whew! Glad I gave them time.

Never mind. It was off topic.

There were a few I didn't like,

One that I did not like was the first one that aired in the Original series (not the Pilot one). It was with the Salt Creature. Just too hokey.
