Relics and an engineer finding a place in a later generation

Relics is praised for Montgomery Scott's adjustment to a later era and his bond with another generation of engineers.

Question

What is your favourite episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation?

Short answer

There is no shared choice. Relics is praised for Scott's story and his connection with later engineers, while Unification is also nominated.

Notes

The favourite-episode choices differ, and some participants have watched too little of The Next Generation to choose. Relics receives support for its use of Montgomery Scott, a Dyson sphere and his attempt to find a place in a later era. His bond with the next generation of engineers gives the story its appeal. Unification is also named, though the reason for that choice is not developed before the conversation moves on.
