161: One with the Cloud, Man

Unsung Episodes: Season 1.   Every season of The Next Generation has episodes that get overlooked or ignored. Well, not here and not today. Most fans will quickly identify "Encounter at Farpoint" as being their favorite episode from season one. So, if we set that one aside, which other episodes should we celebrate and recognize from this introductory season?   In this episode of Earl Grey, hosts Lee Hutchison, Richard Marquez, and Amy Nelson list their three unsung episodes from season one. Each host puts up a good defense on why their chosen episodes should be among the fan favorites or at least viewed with a fresh perspective devoid of preconceived perceptions.   Unsung Episodes is a series that will continue through 2017 highlighting each season in honor of the thirty-year anniversary of TNG.   Chapters   Opening (00:00:00)    Unsung Episodes (00:01:02)    Datalore (00:03:44)    We'll Always Have Paris (00:06:14)    Haven (00:07:50)    Skin of Evil (00:14:15)    Conspiracy (00:20:51)    Angel One (00:21:50)    Lonely Among Us (00:28:00)    Code of Honor (00:32:50)    The Arsenal of Freedom (00:42:04)    Honorable Mentions (00:48:05)    Closing (00:52:22)   Hosts   Lee Hutchison, Richard Marquez, and Amy Nelson Production   Lee Hutchison (Editor) Richard Marquez (Producer) Amy Nelson (Producer) C Bryan Jones (Executive Producer) Matthew Rushing (Executive Producer) Ken Tripp (Executive Producer) Norman C.
