NST: TNG - Firstborn - Season 7, Episode 21
Firstborn! The one where Worf's parenting got so bad that Alexander had to go back in time to become his own better dad. But then that didn't work so he decided to shoot himself. Boy, that escalated quickly. We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon! Both get you early access to new episodes, access to the private Newbie Star Trek Discord, and a bunch of other perks!

NST: DS9 - The Maquis, Part I - Season 2, Episode 20
The Maquis, Part I! TNG creates the problem, and DS9 has to fix it. That's right, the Cardassian border dispute that Captain Picard thought they had resolved in Journey's End turns into a bigger problems for the actual colonists in DS9. Surely Sikso's old friend that shows up in this episode won't end up being secretly part of the Federation resistance movement named after the French Resistance during Nazi occupation in WWII, right?

NST: TNG - Journey's End - Season 7, Episode 20
Journey's End! Y'know, the idea of Wesley quitting Starfleet because he wants to pursue his own path in life is actually kind of a neat idea for a TNG episode. It's just too bad that it's wrapped up with weird American Indian cultural appropriation and, uh, an overall kinda bad script. We have a YouTube Membership and a Patreon!

Profit and Loss! What happens when the writers of DS9 do a straight-up rip-off of Casablanca using Garak, Quark, and Quark's long-lost Cardassian lover?

NST: DS9 - Playing God - Season 2, Episode 17
Playing God! Dax gets an intern, and he's working really hard for a good letter of recommendation for the Trill joining program. How quaint.
