TV Series

How I Met Your Mother

• S4E2

Star Trek (original series)

My advice: Don’t watch the pilot, as you’ll have to watch this episode again later in the season (The Menagerie: Part 1 and Part II). In fact, the episodes start getting pretty damn good after this two-part episode. If you’re hardcore, it’s probably worth it to watch all episodes (including the pilot episode), because you’ll appreciate the later episodes more. But, if you’re wanting to cut out a lot of bad episodes, then skip ahead.

April, 2020: For some reason, Netflix episode numbers are one ahead of IMDB?

• S1E15 Shore Leave
• S1E16 The Galileo Seven
• S1E19 Tomorrow Is Yesterday
• S1E22 Space Seed (A MUST SEE, especially if you want to watch Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan!!!!!)
• S1E23 A Taste of Armageddon
• S1E28 The City on the Edge of Forever

… and then, season 2 starts to get a little lame around episode 7.

• The Lights of Zetar
• The Way to Eden

Star Trek TNG

• S1E11 The Big Good-Bye (holodeck episode)
• S1E12 Datalore (Data origins story)
• Where No One Has Gone Before (this one kinda sucks, but if you like Wesley, then this is a must see)
• Justice (another classic Wesley story)
• Datalore (must-see Data origins story)
• Coming of Age (another Wesley story, but it’s worth watching as it ties in to the episode titled “Conspiracy“)
• Symbiosis (fun meth head alien story)
• Skin Of Evil (episode sucks, but must see as this is Tasha’s last episode as a regular)
• Conspiracy (the most gruesome episode in TNG history)
• The Ensigns of Command

The Office (USA)

Season 3 and 4 in general is pretty damn good.
