I always the "the Royale" was an interesting episode. The away team was stuck in a recreation of a bad novel.

It's a very odd episode canonically. Data doesn't have his emotion chip yet, and everybody is just having random, casual, meaningless sex.
In hindsight, despite its deserved reputation for high quality writing, overall, the writing was pretty rough that whole first season and change, although a few bright spots shine through. Whether they got caught relying too much on plots from TOS (such as The Naked Now lifting huge sections of The Naked Time, with the "edgy", but out of place, sexual hedonism element), or relying all too often on "deus ex Wesley", it was very clunky at times until they shook all that off and found their feet sometime in the middle of Season 2.

I feel like both TNG and DS9 take a season plus to find their stride, which each having a couple hidden gems in their first, but everything else being rough.

When they kick Roddenberry out of the writers room.

I dunno. As bad as Season 1 is, the episodes are so weird that they’re still fascinating in their own right.
The episode where Wesley gets the death penalty for stepping on some flowers comes to mind.

All great episodes.
I think Cause and Effect is an excellent episode of sci fi tv. The writing is crisp, the story is compelling, and the third act keeps you on the edge of your seat even though you know they make it.
And what’s not to love when Dr Frazier Crane makes a cameo appearance?

When I watched the first run of Inner Light, I thought it was one of the best acting performances I’d ever seen on TV. Still is. Picard playing the flute at the end, while a single camera circles him, is the single most emotional moment in the show’s history.
The Best of Both Worlds is still one the best cliffhangers I’ve ever seen. Riveting. My wife and I screamed at the tube: “Nooooooo!” after Riker says: “Mr. Worf, Fire” and it read “To be continued. . . ”

Probably not a controversial opinion, but the transition from the partially constructed Locutus in Part 1 to the fully constructed Locutus in Part 2 was not handled well by the make-up department.
That initial look of Locutus was terrifying. But by Part 2, the make-up department stuck too much shite on his face and made him look goofy.

I was just a kid and I almost put my fist through the TV.
I cannot think of a bigger cliffhanger personally.
