To the Stars: The Autobiography of George Takei by Rick Sternbach and Michael ISBN 0671536230 This is a well written autobiograpy of George Takei, who played Mr Sulu on the original series and the movies.

Best of Both Worlds Captian Picard gets borg-ified, becoming Locutus. Now the Borg know what he knows!
Darmok Picard learns to communicate with an alien species the hard way. A very interesting episode.
Inner Light One of my favorate episodes of TNG. In this episode, Picard lives an entire lifetime on another planet.
The Next Phase A Romulan destress call is answered by the Enterprise. When Geordi and Ro are beeming back to the ship to replicate some engine component, they fail to rematerialize. They are pronounced dead, and Ro thinks they are dead as well, but Geordi has another theory. In reality, they are both out of phase. In interesting episode.
Rascals This episode pits the Enterprise against the Ferengi, with a twist. Some of the enterprise personell, including Captain Picard, had a transporter misshap shortly before the Ferengi arrive. They all have the bodies of themselves as children, but their minds have all the knowledge of their adult selves. Quite interesting.

The Emissary The first episode of Deep Space Nine, it is possibly my favorite
