Star Trek: All 7 seasons of The Next Generation ranked from worst to best

3. Season 6

Season 6 is quite a fascinating season, like a thrill-ride through the cosmos that's as exciting as it is thought-provoking.

Picture this: you're aboard the USS Enterprise, zipping through star systems, each episode a new adventure, a new mystery to unravel. This season is like a puzzle, each piece a story that challenges our heroes in ways they've never been challenged before. But here's the catch - not all puzzles fit perfectly. While many episodes are absolute gems, sparkling with creativity, some are more like misshapen space rocks, not quite fitting the high standard set by the series.

Think of a stellar episode like "Chain of Command", where Captain Picard faces unimaginable challenges - it's intense, and it's Star Trek at its best. But then, there's the odd asteroid in the mix, episodes that feel a bit off the mark, not quite hitting that sweet spot of sci-fi brilliance. Regardless, each and every episode in this season is entertaining, and they teach us about bravery, friendship, and the endless possibilities that lie in the unknown.

It's a blend of the very best that The Next Generation has to offer and some of its more lackluster outings. The latter doesn't completely take the sheen off the otherwise great season, but it does result in it coming in lower on our ranking than these next entries.
