BBC America is finally going through this season and after watching a lot of episodes I can say that it really does provide the bedrock for the rest of the series. its to bad its often overlooked.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

IMHO, these episodes from ST:TNG season 2 stood out:

- A Matter of Honor
- Elementary, Dear Data
- Contagion (great concept, should have explored more)
- Q Who (we don't need you Q! :)
- The Measure of a Man
- The Emissary

I'm happy they're showing the remastered series.  I was a lot more enthralled by Season 1 though, with its weak plots and bad studio backdrops.

So, Season 2.  I'm finding it a BIT less distasteful on the rewatch, and this is the season that gave us the Borg. 

However, this is also the season that gave us Female McCo...er...Pulaski. It also gave us Wesley in love and the OUTRAGEOUS Okona (you need to instantly know that he's outrageous). Speaking of outrageous, season 2 gives us Star Trek's only writer's strike inspired clip show.  Are they going to show Shades of Grey?  I'm interested to see.

All great episodes indeed.  "The Measure of a Man" in particular has always struck me as being quintessentially Star Trek.

SirAndrewD: season 1 'justice' and the cast costumes + seeing Riker zapped by Ferengis was a guilty pleasure :)

Q episodes were always the best. Borg, too.

And when Yar died...YAAAYYY!!!

I didn't hate on Wesley like so many USEnet geeks did. He's even more nerdy than I am, just from seeing some of his Geek & Sundry videos, but eminently well-spoken, from reading excerpts from some of his books.

I hated Q. And Wesley.

The Borg were awesome until Voyager and First Contact ruined them.

I still hate Wesley. 

Wil Wheaton is awesome, though.  8)

WTF dude??!  First Contact was the last good Trek film ever made!!  (I agree, however, that the Borg got pussi-fied in Voyager.)

First Contact was a good movie but it retconned a ton of shit. A Borg queen did not fit at all with the original concept of the Borg presented during TNG. And that instant assimilation thing was bullshit.

And don't get me started on how Zephram Cochrane was all of a sudden from post-apocalyptic Earth. Totally contradicting TOS.

I liked First Contact as a standalone film, but it was about as much a departure from established canon as the JJ Abrams movies.
