'Inner Light' is the best written and most emotional of all the episodes of TNG. Before 'Best of Both Worlds' there was talk of the show being cancelled. The good moments in season 1 and 2 were few and far between.

I go back to the TOS days, but I have to call DS9 the best series. Some were turned off by the spiritual nature of the first season, but in truth everything that happened in those early episodes led up to the finale. They had some very good actors and characters on that show and worked together very well.

Voyager is the anti-DS9. Horrible acting, almost as bad as Enterprise. Enterprise hired their crew to be the best looking crew, not for their acting ability. On Voyager Robert Beltran could have read his lines offstage while they showed a cardboard cutout of him and the emotional result would have been the same. When your best actor plays a character who isn't even real, there's some trouble. They spat out the scientific poop and hit the temporal reset button so many times it broke. They even had one episode where the Doc's mobile emitter was found thousands of years later with his program inside. He showed up in the next episode with no explanation. The only thing that saved that show from cancellation was 7 of 44DD.
