I will never be able to look upon o'brien again without shedding a tear for his ennui.

Don't worry. After he transfers to DS9 he gets to do all sorts of fun things.

Haha I know. Our daycare only takes checks or cash, so we write one check/week so I'm totally getting a box of these, I don't even care. I might get the address labels, too, even though who the fuck sends mail anymore.

Ron Moore: "By the time I joined TNG, Gene had decreed that money most emphatically did NOT exist in the Federation, nor did 'credits' and that was that. Personally, I've always felt this was a bunch of hooey, but it was one of the rules and that's that."

That's one of the best ST episodes, and a perfect encapsulation of the Star Trek ethos! I.e. it isn't about violent conflict, rather than learning from other races and cultures.
Personally I wouldn't rate "The Best of Both Worlds" so high, though... The buildup in the first episode is tremendous, and the cliffhanger is probably the best in ST history, but the way they resolve the conflict in the second part is kinda corny and anti-climactic.
And I wouldn't say "The Visitor" is the best DS9 episode either... It's a nice concept, but unlike with "The Inner Light", they stretch it a bit too far, it doesn't really work on a metaphor level anymore. IMO "Duet" is the best DS9 episode in general, the allegory works better in it, and it's just an incredible showcase for the two main actors.
And as far as concept episodes go, "Far Beyond the Stars" is the best, the concept in it feels relevant in ways "The Visitor" never does. Only thing that stops it from being the perfect ST episode is the pointless framing device, plus Avery Brooks' overacting in the climax. (Otherwise he's very good in his "Elseworlds" role, as is everyone else - Worf as a suave ladies' man and Quark as a left-wing idealist are a joy to watch.)
― Tuomas, Tuesday, 7 October 2014 08:29 (nine years ago) link
Totally agree about Duet. It was the first DS9 ep that made me really love the series.

For "The Visitor", I don't see the need to view it metaphorically; it's just a story about a son can't properly grieve for his dead father because his father isn't actually dead and keeps appearing to him. The episode has some serious flaws (old Jake's visitor, oy), but the affect is real.
As for "Duet", were there WWII-era German or Japanese citizens/former soldiers who advocated for their countries to confront their war-crimes?
