Sep 7, 2023 · Variety ranked the 57 best ‘Star Trek’ episodes across all 10 series — including The Original Series and The Next Generation — in honor of the franchise’s 57th anniversary.
- Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993–1999) Placing Star Trek: Deep Space Nine in the top spot is perhaps a contentious decision. However, this series did more than measure up to the quality of The Next Generation (a lofty feat in and of itself).
- Star Trek: The Original Series (1966–1969) What can we say about The Original Series that hasn't been said already? Gene Roddenberry successfully fused science fiction with American pioneer spirit to create his vision of this "Wagon Train to the stars."
- Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987–1994) Star Trek: The Next Generation has the dubious honor of being the first Trek show where veteran fans warn against new fans starting at the very beginning.
- Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022–present) Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is a truly pleasant surprise to fans of the franchise. Set years before Captain Kirk sat in that famous chair, we see Capt.

"Take Me Out to the Holosuite" does a wonderful job of exploring teamwork, and how the spirit of collaborating with others is so much more important than winning, or single-mindedly needing to always be the best. It’s a perfect example of what made Deep Space Ninesuch a great show, allowing characters to work together on another field of battle ent...
While investigating space-time occurrences, the crew of the Enterpriseis shaken up by one of the tremors. Dr. McCoy administers a relaxant shot to Sulu, but then accidentally injects himself when another tremor hits. McCoy hops into the transporter and beams down to the nearest planet. Kirk, Spock, and a skeleton crew go after him, and they find on...
A great episode about what it means to be human, Deja Qrevolves around one character losing all superpowers and being forced to live as a mortal, if only temporarily. The crew of the Enterprise arrive at a Federation planet, to check on a moon that is falling out of it orbit and could threaten life there. As they’re investigating, a naked Q (John d...
"Mirror, Mirror"works well on many levels, and it has great substance to go along with the action. Plus it’s pretty fun watching the actors pretend to be baddies. An errant ion storm sends Kirk, Scotty, McCoy, and Uhura into a parallel universe. They land on the ISS Enterprise, a ship of the evil Terran Empire, which is the polar opposite of the Un...
"Measure of a Man" is all about Data, and about what it means to really be human. While the Enterpriseis docked for maintenance, a scientist working in the field of cybernetics, Commander Bruce Maddox, comes on-board and takes an interest in Data and how he works. Maddox requests that Data allow him to download the contents of his systems, so that ...
Khaaaaan!!! Yes, this is the very first time we encounter the greatest Trekvillain of them all, Khan Noonien Singh. The crew of the Enterprise comes upon a seemingly abandoned ship, the SS Botany Bay, and they board the vessel to investigate. Once inside, they see dozens of people in life-support capsules, all in hibernation. They discern who the l...
The series finale of The Next Generation, "All Good Things..."was a two-part episode that did a wonderful job buttoning up the show and leaving all of the characters on a high note. While investigating a possible anomaly near Romulan space, Captain Picard is shown going through temporal shifts, being transported twenty-five years into the future, a...
With Trek’s thirtieth-anniversary right around the corner, the show runners of Deep Space Ninewanted to do a special episode to pay homage to the original series. The idea was landed on to do a callback to "The Trouble With Tribbles" — which you might see further down this lis — and the team set to work using the cutting-edge effects to digitally i...
So, we’re cheating. "Count Down" and "Zero Hour" are actually two separate episodes, but together they play as one story, and represent the closing story arc of Enterprise’sthird season. One of the most action-packed episodes in Star Trekhistory, this one deals with a Xindi superweapon that must be disabled. The Xindi had come to revere The Guardia...
"The Tholian Web"deals squarely with the idea of the ship losing its captain, and it illustrates Spock’s bravery and other strengths under duress. The Tholian web itself is an interesting technology, and would be revisited in later episodes. The Enterprise is on a mission to track down another Federation ship, the Defiant, which had ceased all comm...

- Deep Space Nine (1993 – 1999) What initially seemed like too far a departure from the Star Trek formula has now become the standard hipster answer for ‘best Trek’.
- The Next Generation (1987 – 1994) Patrick Stewart didn’t empty his suitcase. That’s how certain he was in the failure of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
- Star Trek (1966 – 1969) Newcomers to the franchise sometimes struggle with the original series, finding it hopelessly dated. TOS does definitely embrace the aesthetics of its time, with its miniskirt uniforms, technicolor background lighting, and, yes, space hippies.
- Strange New Worlds (2022 – Present) Aside from TOS, nearly every Trek series has started off with a bad season or two. But that’s not the case with Strange New Worlds, which has not had a single bad episode yet.
