Mine, oddly, is when Data is watching Picard sleep

    Someone else said my favorite one so ill go with another that i like a lot.

    The scene with picard and wesley and picard gives him the speech about telling the truth.

    The first duty of every Starfleet officer is to the truth, whether it’s scientific truth or historical truth or personal truth! It is the guiding principle on which Starfleet is based. And if you can’t find it within yourself to stand up and tell the truth about what happened, you don’t deserve to wear that uniform!

    My favorite silly moment was when time was stopped/very slowed and picard draws a smiley face in a warp core breach

    The one where they have to prove Data is sentient or else he’ll get dismantled by Starfleet. Seems kind of apropos now with governments deciding, on a whim, who gets rights and also how hard we’re trying to make AGI happen.

    When data gets the emotion chip and tries drinking. “I hate this”, takes another sip, “oh yes! I hate this! This is revolting!”.

    The scene where all of those underdeveloped people come on board the Enterprise with their animals and one woman is shouting throughout the whole deck. Patrick Stewart lost it at this point, turns away from the camera and starts to laugh uncontrollably. But they kept the camera rolling and the scene turned out great!

    Edit: It’s S02E18 “Up the Long Ladder”

      Is that the one they start a fire in the area they’re in and then get shown the replicator? If so that general one always stuck though been many years now, but don’t recall the laughing offhand. I’ll have to watch for Stewart laughing, I love those kinds of reactions.

          Hah I always confused the name with that one with the episode Disaster (had to look it up Picard and kids winning something), no wonder I rarely watched it. Cause I’m pretty sure they go up ladders in turbolifts in that one so just thought that was that episode. But I recall liking the backwards people starting fires. To be fair I don’t watch much TNG these days but still my favorite series by far (also haven’t watch a series since Enterprise so may need to catch up).

    When Picard updates the 21th century scientist on what changed after the warp drive, in First Contact. That was the scene that convinced me to start watching star trek, thanks to a YouTube video about post-scarcity economy

    From the series, some scenes from Measure of a Man would be an easy choice, but I actually probably prefer when Troi helps, again, the woman from the past find her family tree on the computer, don’t remember the episode name

    Data/Sherlok sceses when the highly intelligent villain becomes sentient are also cool

    Picard in the Observation Lounge with Nuria, the Mintakan.

    I find it incredibly moving

    The one where a Stone Age type of civilization is visited and members accidentally reveal themselves to the inhabitants. Then they think Pircard is a god and a cult/religion begins to form. I think it is called “The Picard”
