It took a while but it got there!! I've never seen the first season, maybe I'm lucky. I saw bits of the 2nd year and it was pretty average but then came the 3rd season. I didn't start watching until about 93 so I was a little late. The 3rd season was the first decent year and probably the 2nd best year, that accolade goes to the beautifully written season 5. Season 3, the family orientated season 4, the smart 5th season and the action packed 6th season make the show well worth watching, season 7 was a little lame to be honest, it was obvious if you watch it back, that they ran out of money. There are many great episodes in my opinion, the episode that stands out is the season 3 finale ''best of both worlds part 1'', an awesome 45 minutes, I could quote that episode in my sleep, it's wonderful, when riker gave Shelby a telling of in that lift, it was like magic on my TV. Those last 10 minutes when they captured picard and Jonathan frakes acted his pants of. Those famous lines ''Mr worf, fire!!! classic stuff.
