This short-lived animated series features all the original cast (except Chekov, played by Walter Koenig). 'Yesteryear,' 'The Slaver Weapon' and 'More Tribbles, More Troubles' are all solid picks.

Not enough time to work through nearly 200 episodes? The two-episode cliffhanger that bridges Seasons 3 and 4, 'The Best of Both Worlds' parts 1 & 2, is a great place to start. Captain Picard is kidnapped by the cybernetic hive mind known as the Borg, and chaos ensues.

There’s a lot to choose from here, but Season 4’s ‘The Visitor,’ Season Season 7’s ‘Once More Unto The Breach’ and Season 6’s ‘Far Beyond The Stars' are consistent fan favorites.

  • Number of episodes: 172

Season 4's two-parter, 'Year Of Hell," is a classic that sees the course of history hanging in the balance, while another double episode, 'Equinox' (Seasons 5 and 6), sees the crew of Voyager in serious peril after responding to an emergency hail from a damaged ship.

  • Number of episodes: 98

There's some standouts from the show's particularly strong fourth season: 'Bound' revisits the Orion Slave Girls from The Original Series, and the three-part mini arc consisting of 'Borderland' / 'Cold Station 12' / 'The Augments' will delight Next Generation fans who never quite got on board with the more recent series.
