Yup, I agree
One of my personal favorites is The Royale. The way that The Royale progressed, it was kinda like...If you are a hardcore Legend Of Zelda fan (like I am), you know that you must complete certain tasks/actions for the way forward to open up. It's as if the adventure you're on is a puzzle that you have to figure out. In The Royale, it's no different. They find Col. Richey's diary which leads them to the Hotel Royale novel. They then figure it out that the novel is in fact, a list of things they need to do and people they need to talk to in order to move events forward. Very interesting episode dealing with reality, and necessarily "how" things happen the way they happen.
I also loved Star Trek: Enterprise (Gawd, I had it bad for Commander Tucker!
). I love how Enterprise ended in the series finale. We learn that all 4 seasons - basically the whole "Enterprise" TV show was one big Holodeck program by Commander Riker. An unexpected ending that, again deals with, "what, necessarily 'is' reality?"
I love Tucker too ^^ but as far as the finale goes, I thought it was just that episode that took place in the holodeck? Didn't Troi mention something about studying the ceremony held for the Federations birth? I could be wrong, I only seen the episode once when it first aired ^^
Alot of fans had problems with it (I did too at points) but Voyager was my favourite. The Intrepid class is by far my favourite design and in terms of effects and technologies, I thought it was better than DS9 (which I admit I've seen limited amounts of).
I really wish they'd do more to incorporate the prime timeline with the JJ one and that he'd stop using so many damned lensflares! ^^
