Thanks for the links.

Mike's top 5 picks have Picard - episodes:

(5) "The Best of Both Worlds Part 1 (S3E26, 1990)" & "The Best of Both Worlds Part 2 (S4E01, 1990)": Picard vs Borg.

(4) "The Drumhead (S4E21, 1991)": Picard vs Admiral Norah Satie.

(3) "Tapestry (S6E15, 1993)": Picard vs Q.

"Tapestry" is also on my list, including his number (2) "Disaster (S5E05,1991)". Interesting is his choice for number (1) "The Nth Degree (S4E19, 1991)" with Barclay becoming a genius to the Nth degree.

Rich's top 5 picks are also centered on 'authority' figures:

(5) "The Measure of a Man (S2E09, 1989)": Picard and Data vs Maddox

(4) "Déjà Q (S3E13, 1990)": Picard vs Q.

(3) "Chain of Command Part 1 (S6E10, 1992)" & "Chain of Command Part 2 (S6E11, 1992)": Riker vs Captain Jellico, Picard vs Gul Madred.

Number (2) "Cause and Effect (S5E18, 1992)" is my number 1 pick.

Rich's number (1) "Who Watches the Watchers (S3E04, 1989)" is the only Prime Directive episode of the ten picks, where Picard has to convince a proto-Vulcan race that he is not a god and prevent further involvement of the Federation in their natural development.

All in all interesting picks of Mike and Rich, that give you an inkling of what goes on in their 'Trek' heart snd mind.

I think it was a shared therapy for Mike and Rich after watching Discovery and Picard 😄
