Just throwing out there to pare down later -

Measure of A Man - origin of Lawyer Picard against a judge that wrote Bette Midler's "The Rose"
The Inner Light - made Patrick Stewart look 173 years old
Chain of Command II - I think there's enough Jellico in there to let Part I fall a bit
Preemptive Strike - ENSIGN RO!!
Cause and Effect - FRASIER!!
Clues - ROGUE DATA.....AGAIN....
Conspiracy - the first time TNG indicated it might be good
The Pegasus - good late series and believable Riker vs. Picard
The Drumhead - more excellent Lawyer Picard

Will continue to work on the list.

Some other I need to consider -

The Ensigns of Command
Booby Trap - Geordi's unfortunate #MeToo episode (first of many)
Family
The Best of Both Worlds (combined)
Darmok - love it but not as rewatchable as you might think
Ensign Ro - ENSIGN RO!!!
Ethics
The First Duty & Tapestry - Need to be in the prime list
All Good Things... - half a great episode

1. Measure of A Man - watch it and replace every time they say "Property" with "Slave". It's not a subtle episode but it is still pretty powerful.

2. The Inner Light - solid episode of drama

3. Preemptive Strike - great episode about divided loyalties and the regrets. The final scene of Picard in that episode is great.

4. Chain of Command, Part II - JELLICO!! It's basically a 2-man play.

5. Tapestry - Not original thematically but still fun to see young Picard as old Picard learn a lesson. Try not to think about the fact that the actress that Patrick Stewart is acting with actually is 17 years-old.

6. Conspiracy - Loved when Picard reminded Crusher that you don't beam down to Starfleet Command fully armed right before they eat some worms.

7. Clues/Cause and Effect - Very similar episodes and I love mystery TNG. I'd probably give the edge to Clues based on Data going rogue and the crew trying to figure out why.

What was the one when they were chasing the Borg and passed up like half the fleet ships totally destroyed? That was kind of a cool episode... might have been a two or three parter.

1: In the Pale Moonlight (either that or TNG's "The Inner Light" is the greatest Trek episode ever)
2: Far Beyond the Stars
3: Duet
4: The Way of the Warrior
5: The Visitor
6: The Siege of AR-558
7: It's Only a Paper Moon (sequel to AR-558 and really a great look at PTSD)

Honestly, DS9 is probably the best Star Trek series and I would also argue the greatest Sci-Fi series ever put on TV.

I'll have to go with any episode featuring this Vulcan:

Duet is such a great episode. You don't even have to have seen Star Trek. It's just an hour of gripping entertainment.

Trouble with Tribbles? Meridian?

I'll give my #1:

Far beyond the stars

Measure of a man for me. I am tired of people saying The finale was the best ever,must not have seen this or inner light or half of DS9

When I am stuck and need to figure something out I always remember the Immortal words of Socrates when he said:"I just drank what?"

i really got invested in the TNG/DS9 Klingon Civil War storyline. "Sins of the Father" and "Sons of Mogh" are really good. i mean, you can't go wrong with Tony Todd.

I liked him better as Jake in "The Visitor"

I didn't like how Kurn was handled in DS9.

Tony Todd didn’t like it either but I think any other way would have been cliche. I think Worf’s closing line about not having any family was really tragic and Kurn was compromised, not knowing it. It was a conundrum.
