"Yesterday's Enterprise" (which I co-wrote in 1989) was ranked #1 with the following review:

CRITIQUE: This episode takes one simple premise — that every action, like a pebble thrown in a pond, has a rippling effect — and exploits the heck out of it. Offering massive space battles, hardcore Trek continuity revelations, and a poignant story line, in which Tasha falls for a doomed crewman and chooses to join him on a suicide run, this hour of Trek is the gold standard. As Picard says, before committing his own ship to destruction, ''Let's make sure that history never forgets the name Enterprise.'' Mission accomplished.
