   It is getting harder and harder to remember these. I’d be toast if I hadn’t been rating them along the way.

   Alphabetical by tradition:

   “All Good Things…” TBH, it feels a bit manipulative. Full of nostalgia, but what does it have to say, really? But it is one of the best of the season.

   “Attached” This fun adventure romp left me surprisingly thoughtful about relationships after Crusher’s gentle rebuff of Picard.

   “Dark Page” This dark horse selection reflects my love for Lawaxana Troi and Majel Barrett-Roddenberry.

   “The Pegasus” Never Trust an Admiral, Part XVIII. I wrote, “I don’t think ‘The Pegasus’ is as good as [an earlier episode], but compared to the other Season Seven episodes so far, it’s Hamlet, Macbeth, and King Lear.”

   “Premptive Strike” Ro Laren elevates this episode which further builds up the simmering conflict between the Cardassians and the Maquis.

   No honorable mentions. No five-star episodes.

   Dark Page…. Loved it. Really different and gives another take on Lwaxana Troi, who is one of my favorite characters in the series. Not as tone-deaf on psychological issues as the series usually is.

   Lower Decks… I enjoyed the concept of seeing the main characters from the perspective of other characters… it wasn’t realized optimally but at least felt like the writers were trying to break the mold in a good way. And the choice of having the “main character” die at the end was bold, for TNG, and moving.

   Thine Own Self… I thought Data’s reinvention after memory loss was charming, and his destruction all too sadly predictable. I liked that the civilization he encounters is not one-dimensional (he has his detractors and defenders).

   Attached and The Pegasus round out my five best list, but they are only sort of good and I do not have much to say about them.

   Sadly the series had run out of steam prior to Season 7!

   I should probably award an honorable mention to “Thine Own Self.” It was memorable, including some of the dialogue, and sweet.
