THE TWILIGHT ZONE "The Eye of the Beholder"
Blew me away the first time I saw it. Loses something on re-viewing when you know the ending.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

Boxed Set, Vol. V: Just a Hint of Denial and a Dash of Retcon
A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.
Whitefont all unaired in the U.S. ep discussion, identifying it as such, and including the show and ep title in blackfont.
Blackfont is allowed after the show has aired on the east coast.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not the episode of Trek I would have picked, but a good one.
Original Trek, or TNG? I like their choices of both, but I might have picked different TNG.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Sorry, NextGen. I probably would choose "The Inner Light", but that's a pretty non-traditional episode. Or "Darmok." Or "Cause and Effect", which I think is the title of the time loop episode. Though that last one is really just an example of a trope done very well, and not something deeply meaningful.

I also submit "Chain of Command." And "The Best of Both Worlds."

Oh, "Chain of Command." Good one.

TNG is totally at its best when Picard is front and centre.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
That's a pretty great list, but the XF choice is weird, I agree.
